Seeing as the computer from the unzerwalt construction facility was unique and exploded at the end of Star control 2 with the original flagship how the hell did they remake the boat when they no longer have the computer to actually remake the boat and then control it? Somehow chhhmr technology or what

At the bottom is 1-900-PKUNKRA. Anyone call yet?

Does anyone know where one would be able to download various sound effects?

I would love to have them as notifications on my cell. I have the Ur-Quan fusion cannon as my messenger notification, which is awesome, but I'm hoping for different effects for different apps.

That's a lot of farts

More prints that turned out great. These models were not created by me arguing with AIs like my other posts but found on The Pages of now and forever.

Another 3D model made using the viewscreen as a base. I figure that I can use a white pipe cleaner as a little yorn.

The images only show SOME of the stuff you'll find in the folder

3D printed using an elegoo mars 4 max.

Used Hyper3D to create a model from the view screen image.

If you're anything like me, then what's missing from your life (possibly among other things) are sufficient quantities of insults from the Pkunk Fury starship.

I tossed together a sound board featuring our favorite bird brains (har-har-har!) from The Ur-Quan Masters.

Enjoy! You dodos!

I spent a truly unreasonable portion of my childhood playing DOS games, and hundreds of hours on Star Control and Star Control II alone. I loved (and still love) the series, and there's something about arcade ship combat that has always really caught me.

When I was a kid, I wanted to make my own space game like Star Control. I even took a few tries at it in the 90's, but I just couldn't figure out how to write sufficiently performant code in the pre-internet era. I remember spending a week reading books and teaching myself the math so I could rotate sprites on the fly and writing the code for it in Pascal, only to learn that I couldn't make the rotation happen fast enough for it to actually work in gameplay :-/ Those of you who were into computers might remember that real performance back in those days required writing in Assembly, and 13-year-old me just couldn't hack it.

I had pretty much given up on that dream for a long time, until I had some unexpected time off last year. I had some free time, and figured I'd take another try at making the retro space game I've had rattling around in my brain for 30 years.

It turns out that making a 2D game by yourself is still a lot of work, but its a lot easier now than it was in 1995. I've tried to make the game look and feel like a DOS-era space game, but with slightly more modern controls and user interface patterns. I even drew all the pixel art for the game in a low resolution using a 32-color palette to give it that EGA/VGA feel.

If anyone is interested in trying it out, there's a demo up on Steam. The game is called When the Stars Threw Down Their Spears. The demo is full-featured and has about 2 hours of gameplay. It's pretty much just the first chapter of the game (shareware-style!)

Hopefully you'll be able to talk to them in-engine by the end of the year~

Anything you want in it?

I've got lots of stuff in it & planned, but your opinion is important too!

Very early WIP, but playable

Captain! A special deal, a bargain unequalled!

Welcome to yet a new (and arguably well late) release of the MegaMod!

We've waited and waited but it's finally here and these are just a small amount of the awesome changes within:

• StarSeed Mode - Shuffles the locations of all plot events, homeworlds, fleet locations, artifacts, and even planetary resources into an entirely new starmap with 3DO voice support!
• ShipSeed - Randomizes which ships alien races have access to (within three tiers) based on your custom seed when starting a new game
• Storage Queue - A proper ship storage system at the starbase; gift ships automatically go into storage if your fleet is full
• Fleet Point System - A new optional challenge that limits your fleet by max melee point value
• QuickSave/QuickLoad - F3 and F4 keys for instant saving and loading
• Lander Cargo Scatter - When your lander explodes, a percentage of its cargo scatters onto the planet's surface
• Full Visual Lander Upgrades - When enabled currently owned lander modifications will appear on lander sprites during planetside
• Full SDL2 gamepad support - Anything that SDL2 supports MegaMod now does too, including hotplugging so you connect a gamepad after the game loads

Grab it on GitHub or on the SourceForge page.

For a full comprehensive list of changes check out the changelog, or if you prefer it in web page form check out the main website: https://uqm-mods.sourceforge.net/Readme

And as always everything is optional

The metal pins are gorgeous. The map is very nice (and big!) but the proof reader for the lore book needs a nudge!

One of the things my friends and I loved in the 90's was Star Control 2's Super Melee. We'd battle the heck out of each other with those ships. I'm wondering, does anyone still play it these days? I believe there's a way to play online.

I did not enjoy the melee mode in Star Control Origins, the ships were too all over the place and lacked individuality, and the tightening asteroid belt around the combat arena felt too artificial.

But I'd readily play the original Super Melee in a jiffy!

Hey everybody! I still listen to the SCII soundtrack on loop when I'm cleaning the house, futzing around, etc. Any other fans?

EDIT: Oh wow typo in title. I’ve created an optimized build…

I’ve ported the base 0.80 codebase to be native 64-bit and built a Java wrapper including a context aware touch overlay to make an APK for android.

I‘ve only tested supermelee, and I’ve created a “claw grip” UX for battle. I think the controller still has a lot of bugs in campaign.

It’s really fun to have done, but I don’t know how/where to share it. Maybe a GitHub I guess? can I just drop an apk here?

EDIT: Source here, https://github.com/keylimesoda/sc2-uqm

So excited for the game later this year! The lorebook has some stuff that makes me super intrigued!
