|

I think it would be an interesting idea to make this game multiplayer.
I have played Starport GE and it was a fun game, though it lacks certain elements that epochstar has.
So i thought it would be fun to be able to play this game agains other people.

I've discussed the prospect of ESO on several posts. I may do it when Flash 9 comes out... but it will be 2D. I don't think that would make it any less fun though.

Yes, I think doing a 2D flash version would make things a lot less buggy.

ES is actually 3D rendered. For the cut scenes, I just change the camera position and zoom it in on the ship your talking to.

I'll have to do something different about the cut scenes, but movie files in the current version of ES would balloon the size. There are a few hundred cut scenes, and having a movie for each of them would be both time consuming to produce, and increase the download size. The nice thing about doing it in Flash would be that any cut scenes could be downloaded at run time.
