Hi Folks, To get everyone, old and new back up to speed on what I am planning to do. First of all, while we refer to this here as "Rebellion 2" let me make it clear that this is NOT a true sequal to Star Wars: Rebellion, published by LucasArts. They have made it clear they have no interest in making a sequal to the game. I am not affiliated, sanctioned, or otherwise related in any way with LucasArts and neither is my effort. So what is happening is I am making a multi-player only space/strategy game, with a working title of "Galactic Politics and Adventures" or GPA. The essence of the game is can find its influences from Master of Orion, Civilization, Counter-Strike, and Rebellion. What will happen is I will leave the ability for the user community (e.g. YOU) to create a MOD that will swap out graphics, sound, and other elements. What we talk about in this forum is general ideas, as it would pertain to the mod YOU will eventually create. I completed the general design doc a while back, but do listen to and consider your ideas, either as new features or to affirm that the ideas I had are good ones. And then there is the question of when will the game be done. The short answer is, "when its done." Beyond that, I can say certainly not this year. The game will be written in Borland Delphi. The specifics of how you can customize the game with the Rebellion 2 MOD remains open. And who am I? I'm a senior software developer/consultant with a lot (meaing 8 years++) of experience writing boring business systems and a serious PC gamer. Keep the ideas and questions flowing. I'll do my best to keep up with them! May the Force be with us all! Greg Postlewait
