Genesis Rising Open Beta!

bgaum

I just wanted to let you all know that we're running an open beta over at FilePlanet. You can find it here:

http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/genesisrising/index.aspx

We're looking for valuable feedback from as many people as possible, so if you love RTS games, please check it out!

Thanks!

Captain K

Okay, as best I can tell, bgaum is not a spambot, so I'll say the following:


Creating a thread to pimp your own thang, or "sitewhoring", is against the rules here, and creating an account just to sitewhore is a fast track to an account ban. If you're an actual human, bgaum, then please send me a PM and let me know that you're not a spambot. And if you're a human, please read the rules thread before posting again.

In any case, I'll unlock this thread because this might be something people are interested in. It's hosted at fileplanet so it has to be at least a little bit legit.

Dr. Face

Anyone? Anyone? I can't download at work - but I have a key so am prepped to get in on it tonight and bring some feedback later for the curious.

zilo

This looks like Homeworld meets... something RPGish.

I like it.

edit: woah these are the Arx Fatalis guys. Downloading now.

Any other information you can give out about the game other than it being an RTS? Like minimum system requirements an the such for the beta?

Rook

Well, since you only need a file planet login and not a paid account for this. I'm downloading as well so I'll try and pass on some info if someone else doesn't beat me.

If it is free, it is good enough for me to download now.

Xanarios

If anything, the backstory is somewhat interesting.

edit: Of course, then you come across the station graphic.

This is a recent preview that has a little more depth to it:

Looks like it is a home base of sorts:

The stationary organic base of operations has the ability to produce blood that is used as a resource which is stored in large finite reservoirs that can be tapped to create other organid structures. It can also produce Heavy Fighters. Organic stations are durable and can withstand the unrelenting attack of an entire fleet if properly mutated.

I'm pretty sure I saw a hentai movie with that thing. It was violating every orifice of some girl.

I mean

My friend saw a hentai movie with that thing

I think these guys need to go team up with the Kha'ak from X3

Er... um... well... the developers are definitely going for a unique space universe .

Aridhol

This branch is directed by the Military High Commander, General Supreme.

Brilliant!

Does the triple-breasted hooker from Eroticon VI make an apperence?

bgaum

ahhh... let me check the design docs... hmmm... nope!

It looks like if you put the top one in the megathron it would form some kind of super gun.

rayofash

I want aliens like the ones from Space Quest :?

Edit: So has anybody played this yet? It's not that good. The only thing good I can say about it is that it has a good song that it plays sometimes.

Rook

So, having only played the two tutorial missions (there's that and multiplayer). It seems like a 2d (everything takes place on a grid) real time tactics game. You have these bio ships that are capable of harvesting genes and mutating on the fly as it were.

Haven't played an internet game as I'm busy downloading an update, but it reminds me of this other game there was a thread about, just can't remember the name of it.

rayofash

The battles play a bit like Sword of the Stars, only Sword of the Stars is a million times better.

Synthetic Orange

That's kind of worrying, given that all I've been hearing about Sword has been pretty mediocre.

hoodie13

I read the thread title and immediately thought this was an Advent Rising sequel.

Sword of the Stars is pretty bad, yes.

Szechuanosaurus

Man, I thought EVE was pretty phallic. This is about twice as phallic with added demon-rape.


It's like it was custom made for the PA forums.


Did the Wangina ship make it out of the concept stage?
