Friday, August 10, 2001 - Website Is Coming Online!

 

          Welcome to the brand spanking new home of the hot new Visual Basic computer game, Galactic Command.   This game started development early last winter with Crusin giving me a copy of Visual Studio 6: Enterprise Edition (thanks again, buddy).   I have been learning the intricacies of Visual Basic 6 for almost a year now.   My first program was called David’s WorkSuite 2001, a collection of different simple utilities for businesses.   I may put this up in the downloads section soon.   It has a lot of bugs and problems with it which I will try to sort out in the coming weeks.   Well, enough about that…

 

          Galactic Command is a free 2-D free-time based strategy and combat game set in the Movie Era of the Star Trek universe.   You get to command one of many starships like the Miranda Class destroyer and the Yamato Class battlecruiser, all with different abilities, strengths and weaknesses.   Check out the ‘About the Game’ page very soon once it’s online for the full run-down of my colossal new game.

 

          As for the progress of the game itself, it is still early in the production stage.   I am still adding all the features and functions into the game and Uncle Sam needs YOU!   That’s right!   I am currently in the search for graphics of all Trekky sorts.   Planets, phenomenon, symbols, Movie era starships, and most off all at the moment images of different Star Trek devices, cannon or not.

I will also be making the early source code available to a select few (and I mean “select” few) so they can assess my programming and maybe put some ideas in of their own.

 

          That’s all the news for now… stay tuned!
