Nut Case for Star Control
|
A Fan Game. Of Star Control. "Gasp!"
Seriously, I got thinking about the recent "death" of timewarp and had a go at Star Control 1, the game was awesome but felt weird as there were less races in it than Star Control 2 (which I had played first).
So like I said, I got thinking about it, and then I came up with a few ideas and clustered them up, which I'll post now.
Star Control - Greatest War (name subject to change) is basicly the story tracking the great efforts of the Allied Forces against the Heirachy after the destruction of the Sa-Matra
Following the Destruction, the Alliance celebrates their victory and continue in their goal to free the other enslaved races. As they approach Beta Julius they recieve a message from a previously unknown alien race. This race were enslaved by the Heirachy and selected the White Staff because they could not bear to lose their honour, the message then goes to explain that they finally rose up and destroyed the shield from the inside, and that Inquisitors are coming to their ships for friendly negotiation.
This race turns out to be the Fjorn, a race of honourable people who act and speak much like the medieval knights of old. They are shocked and ashamed at themselves when they hear that the Sa-Matra was already destroyed, and vow to make up for their "cowardice" by joining the Alliance.
Meanwhile, the Heirachy begin to panic. They are losing power in the cosmos, and their battle-thralls are being weakened. the Ur-Quan form a temporary truce with the Kzer-Ah and begin to amass their forces. The Ur-Quan begin to "free" enslaved planets for them to become Battle Thralls, some of which wanted to but were considered too "Dangerous" by the Ur-Quan. One of these races is the Globis, a hive mind of microbular viri that wiped out the native sentient species on the planet they are currently on. They infest their victims, and begin moulding their bodies into horrifying beasts, huge colonies of these viri can turn an innocent animal into a mutant sack of flesh which can take of into space, it's not known if these were artificialy made or that they evolved and gained sentience by chance.
And so the Alliance and the Heirachy begin the greatest war ever of the galaxy.
But as they fight, other forces watch eagerly...
What I'm aiming for is a SC1&2 hybrid. You would be able to go across hyperspace, and talk to alien species, but you would also have to fight tacticaly across solar systems (like in SC1) finding relics and establishing space bases and so on.
Now I'm not a very good coder, but I've had experience in making sprites and other graphics for more than two years, and I can help write the script and so on.
If anyone's interested in helping with this, or has a few ideas of their own, please post your remarks to this, I'd love to get a proper sequel, or just a decent fan game out for all the fans here  .
[EDIT]
Here's an example work for the Fjorn Inquisitor.
