So, I started playing a game I haven't played in years and it feels wonderful. So, I decided to do a giveaway! NO CV and the giveaways are up for three days! Good luck!

Puzzle

I might possibly post hints. I have no idea how popular this game was in the community so I will play it out as it goes. Only one question! :D

EDIT: As if it needs to be said but no sharing the answer or hints. Or else.

HINT 1: Was released in 2002. A great Sci-FI game of its time!

HINT 2: Was exclusively released for PC/Mac. The first 2 in it's series was released solely for MAC.

EDIT 4?: So, my puzzle was leaked and I have no idea how to respond to that :O. So new approach. As of the last time I checked the puzzle before the leak noone had entered, so to be fair, here's the link.

Link2

I got the information I wanted anyhow, which was to see if anyone has heard of the game. :D Anyhow if you guys could be most kind to answer my straw poll, I would be most appreciated!

Bump for solved. It's funny, I was just looking at the dev's website the other day, after playing a few of their other games. And now, I really want to play this. Starcraft too XD

No worries, I got the information I wanted from this experience anyhow. Please do read the thread first next time you come into a situation like this though. Anyways! How'd you hear from Escape Velocity? Was this a game from you're childhood as well?

I loved playing this game. I played it as an adult in my 30s, so no childhood memories on this one. But I played Starflight 1 when it came out, so that should count for the childhood memories thing. :) Too bad the guy's wife will divorce him if he works on another one in this series.

These types of games are my favorite, but I guess they're niche because there aren't very many of them. I'm working on a game with my brother right now that isn't this genre, but the 4th or 5th game on my list of what I want to make is an homage to Starflight and games like this. RPG-like games are tougher to build because of all the content that has to go into them. So we're starting small, working on something my 7yr old daughter suggested, which I think will be a lot of fun, or at least something that people will want to show their friends.

(My brother and I have both been software developers for over 15 years, and I've worked as a game programmer for EA. So hopefully it doesn't end up being the same result as a lot of "I want to make a game" stuff that is prolific nowadays. We're not dependent upon them being successful for our livelihood, so that's a plus.)

Let the divorce happen! Huzzah! Kidding though, I wish something will happen at some point in the future. I contacted Ambrosia to ask about any future plans for the series and/or having any plans for the game on Steam and nothing. It cracks me up how fans post on their twitter about a game made a decade ago more than anything that they've done recently. Wish you all the luck in the world with you're game too man. Please keep us posted on any future updates and we'll be most appreciated! Sounds like it would be interesting!
