"Wow, I just noticed this topic," said ben, "and it's not surprising, seeing that I have never before looked into the RW forum." I think that's right, but maybe the 'a' on 'and' needed to be capitalized. It seems that when you include quotations for a highlighted or grouped statement at the end of the sentence, the puctuation should go outside the last quote, if you know what I mean. Man, I never would've thought a RW topic could rack up 100 replies. :eek: Unfortunately, I have just contaminated yet another forum. That makes 5. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Hey, no problem - I appreciate any suggestions. For now, we're kind of waiting to see how much of it can be taken care of by the rain, while we wait to see if anyone will buy the porch furniture we registered for from our wedding registry. :) Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Does Richard White ever post in these forums? Does anybody know if he is developing a Windows version of his games? Because I don't currently have a Macintosh, and I want to know what his games are like. Edit: These last few pages of posts seem to really be getting off-topic, whatever the topic was.

Short answer: Richard's disappeared off the face of the earth, and if you can't play his games you're not missing terribly much. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Somebody should put a 'whatever happened to Richard White?' subplot into a BoA scenario. We would then have a canonical answer to this question. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

BoA scenarios are not canonical. We would have heated debates over which version of RW's history most closely adheres to a conservative extrapolation from known facts. In the absence of those, we'd just wrangle fruitlessly. —Alorael, who knows the vahnatai are responsible for the creation of almost all intelligent life on Ermarian and that the capital of the Empire is Solaria.

Goodness, I don't want to go down in history as the person who introduced fruitless wrangling to these boards. I retract my suggestion! -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

Has RW ever posted here? He must still be collecting royalty from Spiderweb some way or another, y'know. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Perhaps he received a healthy advance on Galactic Core royalties, and is lying low to avoid having to pay it back. Perhaps he is nervously checking this very thread every day, to make sure that spidwebbers still don't have a clear bead on him. A clear bead is about what his royalties ought to have been worth.

Now now, I hear Galactic Core wasn't that bad, though having played Homeland, maybe it was... Homeland really bugged me, though. The endless clicking, the shoddy interface and dialogue, the dying, five seconds after you finally clicked your finger off, getting to the dungeon...

I have minimal experience designing games and patchy knowledge of coding. I'll come up with something better than Galactic Core quite soon. Like, oh, another Tetris knock-off. Or a program that just crashes your computer. —Alorael, who is reminded of a "fun" game an associate once made. Its high point was deleting random files from your computer whenever you lost. Despite this, it was still more fun than GC. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

No, on account of the fact that the program would have access to my account, in which case, I would always lose. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

quote:Speaking as possibly the only person to register Galactic Core, I have to say it wasn't a bad game, but it wasn't exactly a good one either. I've referred to it before as the "cotton candy" of strategy games—meaning it doesn't take long to learn how to play, the interface is simple, and it makes galactic conquest almost impossible not to achieve. It's good for a quick few rounds of interstellar carnage and is surprisingly soothing when you're in a bad mood and feel like laying waste to heavily populated planets without even trying. And the graphics are rather nice, the races moderately interesting (especially with a healthy dose of imagination contributed by the player), and can provide several hours of nigh-mindless entertainment. In short, it's fun but insubstantial. From what I've heard of Homeland, Galactic Core is several magnitudes better, even if solely due to the fact that it actually works. I've heard that SubTerra is probably Richard White's best game, so naturally it's not available for Macintosh. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |
