Star Ruler
http://starruler.blind-mind.com/Decided to tell everyone about this game I came across.
Star Ruler is a mixture between the RTS and 4X genres. Our goal is to bring an expansive galaxy to life, and provide many ways to experience the world - whether your goal is to conquer, extinguish, or make peace with all life - so there will always be something new to experience.
Features:
- Create skins for the UI, or scripts to dictate its behavior.
- Add new elements to the gameplay, either new items to place on ships, or entirely new mechanics not in the original game.
- Share your creations with others through the in-game content manager.
Up to 1000 systems each with their own stars, planets, moons, and asteroid belts.
Combat, Espionage, Diplomatic, Research, Economic, and Exploration paths give players a choice of gameplay styles.
You get to choose every component that goes into a ship, and choose what appearance it uses, either from the built-in shipsets, or custom ones from the community.
Massive fights in a massive universe; support for up to eight players. Save the whole game when dawn breaks and boot it back up at dusk; it isn't over until you say it is!
With an entire galaxy's worth of resources at your fingertips, why let it go to waste on simple starfighters? Build massive Dyson Spheres, Black Hole manipulators, and Star Cannons to crush your foe's dreams of conquest. Strap huge engines, shields, and guns on to your worlds and transform your homeworlds from a resource to be held or taken into a deadly adversary.
Players have an option of a standard camera, as if attached to a pole, or a completely free camera - see the game from any direction you require with ease.
