FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Starpeace (www.starpeace2.com) is back online. After being taken off line at the beginning of last year by then publisher sega, starpeace has been brought back online and reverted to it’s original name (sega renamed it Legacy Online). A deal was reached in December 2004 with the original developers Oceanus Communications to allow Pugland to continue the development of the game.
The game has been running for a month now with a small number of players to make sure the game was running properly. Now that this test has been done the game is now ready for the mass market again. There is currently one Commercial worlds available for subscribers, with new players getting a free 7 day trial. There is also a completely free world available which is used for testing new additions to the game.
Over the next few months Pugland will be working on developing the next version of the game, Starpeace 2. In this development there will be several additions and changes. First off the buildings in the game are to be changed completely. The current set has a lot of products lumped together, for example fresh food, which in the change will be transformed into individual products like grain, apples etc etc. This will give the game more of a realistic feel to it and allow easier addition of new buildings and products at a later date.
The Illegal Business component which was never added to the game will get completed and added for certain worlds. This additional component allows players to get evil with fellow players by robbing there stores, demolishing roads or even assassinating mayors and presidents. This should give the game a gangster’s feel though won’t get put on every world.
Finally a 3D viewer is to be developed for the game to work in tandem with the isomeric interface with the game. Initially this will only show the world map with the buildings in them but at a later date to include additional games like a quake style online mini game.
