hi tom.
personally, i don't see anything wrong with being inspired by other tv series.
to be inspired isn't to copy as long as it's done in a way that shows it's your
own work. i mean, what's the difference between a tele porter, transporter or
transmat beam?
however if you want a bit of orig
Hi Dark,
Sounds fair enough. Heaven knows I could use an extra person to help
me develop ideas for a great space exploration adventure. Its not that
I'm out of ideas precisely but that I've gotten set in my ways. Over
the years I've been heavily influenced by other people's ideas and its
hard to s
Hi Darren,
Ah, probably not. Is quite mind boggling when you think about it though. :D
Cheers!

Version 2.8 is posted. This doesn't contain any big game additions but it does
address several bugs, toss in a few new features, and lays the ground work for
some future stuff.

Lol does this mean we'll finally get a cross between elite and sivelisation?

hi tom.
Actually I might take you up on that once my thesis in finished, though
sinse I'm thirty soon myself hopefully I won't lose all my! mad ideas :d.
Actually I did have an sf plot for a game and setting in mind, but I'll
discuss that with you off list as and when I have time to writ
Hi Ben,
Sorry, to hear that. Castaways is actually a very decent game once you
know how to play it, and to be honest I never thought much
documentation was needed.
To give you an example you said the game kept giving you the "you
can't build hear error" which means you are trying to build on rock
HI Dark,
Well, you certainly raise some good points here. I agree something
original would certainly be preferable than a Star Trek knock-off. I
was merely pointing out that one wouldn't have to invent everything
from scratch if they used a template. However, for myself I probably
wouldn't try to
Hi Dark,
Well, if you ever want to join forces on a RPG project let me know.
Although, I use to do a lot of creative writing in my younger years
all the good ideas seem to have vanished once I hit 30 or so. So if
you want to be the brains I can certainly be the programmer. :D
Cheers!

Thanks tom.
I always saw the option in 7zip to compress stuff as a tar file, but
wondered what it was sinse it's a format I've never encountered before sinse
as you said, most windows stuff is mostly zip. I've also seen a lot of rar,
some 7z and the odd iso, but never tar.
Glad to know what
Hi Dark and all,
The program for creating tar files is simply called tar. Its an open
source command line tool that usually ships with Linux, FreeBSD, and
other open source operating systems by default. As a result tar is
more widely used on non-Windows operating systems like Linux where zip
is mo
That's a shame ben, sinse the game is exceptional!
Maybe if you give it another try you could let us know the problems your
having, sinse as I said I'm well impressed with the game.
beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi tom.
i wasn't really thinking of easter eggs, sinse easter eggs are usually more
of an after thought than anything else, I was thinking of items which were
actually in the game to collect, but which the average player would probably
only collect half of.
Look at the zelda games for exampl
Hi Tom.
I agree that we need more sf games, but I'm afraid I disagree that modifying
existing fiction is intrinsically a good idea.
For instance, if I was playing a game in which you were captain cook of the
star ship endeaver, exploring planets on behalf of the union of confederated
worlds,
I hate to disagree with you on this point dark: castaways grabbed my
intention, but for all the wrong reasons: it just didn't feel right at all,
and whenever I tried to build anything it was like "you can't build here" I
just got so sick of the idea that I threw it out with the rest of the

Hi Tom.
I know Aprone has said castaways because of the way it was coded was pretty
much expanded as far as it could go, so it's probably more a question of
Aprone developing a castaways Ii in the future.
Much as I like swamp (though my account is probably gone as I haven't played

Hi Tom.
I agree with all of this, and though I never got to play those dos text
adventures back in the 90's, mostly simply because I didn't know such

Hi Al.
.tar is a compression format similar to rar. I'm not sure what program is
supposed to deal with them, but 7zip from http://www.7zip.com/ can do them,
(indeed 7zip can do most things as far as compression goes which is why it's
my favourite unzipping program), though it's not a type I've
