Music and Sound

It’s nice to see fellow Galaxis players step up and offer their talents for the good of the game. Spydir has offered up his time to create the music score and sound effects for Galaxis 2.0. This is great news! With any luck we will have a great game with originally composed […]

Server Upgrade

Finally got the server upgraded… only took about 4-5 months to get it upgraded. Sad. Whats worse is that it was a piece of cake (all things considering) to get it upgraded. The new version of the backend server has some exciting features that we will be sure taking advantage of.
One […]

Renewed interest?

I was working with Assimilate today on an unrelated problem and the topic of Galaxis came up. Assimilate expressed his interest in getting involved with Galaxis again to help out with 2.0 development. Like usual he is swamped with other projects so we’ll see if he has time to do anything but at […]

For better or for worse…

I’ve decided to relaunch the old version of the game on http://www.galaxisclassic.com. It was always the plan to do this but I’ve been hesitant because I don’t want the little time I ever have to dedicate to Galaxis to go toward managing the old game rather than working on the new one. But.. […]

And we’re back in the game!

Finally got the server up and running again. I hate how over my head that stuff is. I still need to upgrade it to the newest version but that will have to wait for another day. Finally I can get back to developing though. So thats good!

Back in the AIR?

The server is still down (sorry)… Assimilate has been out of town and I’ll need him to do the upgrade and get things going again. In the meantime I decided to take another look at Adobe AIR. We’ve toyed with it before but it was still in ‘beta’ at the time and had […]

Server down? really?

Well it looks like the server died today for some reason. It was going strong there for like 4 months! I’m not able to get is going again either. I hate servers stuff… where is Assimilate when you need him? Oh well… it needs to be upgraded to the new version […]

pew pew pew!

Tonight I’m continuing progress in the realm of combat. I think there will be basically 3 types of gun weapons.

Straight Shot- Always shoots in the direction of the ship.
Turret- Shoots in the direction of the mouse cursor.
Auto Turret- Shoots in the direction of the selected target object.

This opens up a bunch of different variation […]

Ready on the countermeasures!

So I (finally) got my copy of Flash CS3 the other day and really enjoy the improvements they have made. However, I wish they would make Dreamweaver CS3 feel more “adobe” the same what they did with Flash. It’s so much faster now too… they did some major optimizing in this release if […]

Adobe CS3

As you may or may not know the current development platform for the new Galaxis is flash along with a couple other backend technologies. We’ve got our copy of Adobe CS3 Master Suite ordered which will give me the latest version of Flash. w00t.
We’ll still need to fork out some cash for the […]
