2006.5.26 - Starchon i21 Released!
Iteration 21 of Starchon is available for download
Summary:
Starchon is now a cross between a shooter and a real-time stategy. You can't directly decide where to place your units or which sectors to attack. However, you have a lot of indirect influence over the outcome of the game. The game is real-time, so if you take to long in a sector, you will probably be overrun by the Bio Race in the adjacent sectors. Please give the game a try, and offer your input, because the game play is still being shaped!
Note: [The SPACEBAR toggles between the sector and the galaxy map].
Known Issues:
- Some memory issues which cause the memory to increase every game.
- The weapons upgrade screen is not fully functional.
- High Score functionality is offline at this time.
- The first map is fully functional. However, there is no victory condition at this time.
