Light of Altair - Beta 0.2

[saintxi]

Back with a Beta,
If you like old-school tough strategy games with a puzzle feel, and if you have a weighty good graphics card - and you promise to leave some feedback please download my beta here:

Edit: Link is Expired (This revision of the beta is over)
Light of Altair Beta 0.3 59Mb

N.B. 1) Requires DirectX 9c to be installed.
N.B. 2) Limited time beta - In a few weeks time (or when my bandwidth quota runs out) I'll be pulling this beta.

If it runs too slowly try adding a screen size to the shortcut's target eg:
"C:\Program Files\SaintXi\Light of Altair\Altair.exe" -width:640 -height:480

Feedback concerns:
i) Did it run on your computer fast/slow what build do you have?
ii) How long did you play for?
iii) Did you finish it? (on Challenge Mode and get 100% on each misson?)


Light of Altair
A SciFi colony building game. Rendered in full DirectX 3D. It has a strong story between different factions leaving Earth - and you play different missions taking the role of different factions seeing several sides of the same events.

Kinda off-topic (will have to download the beta when I am back home) but the name first reminded me of Assassin's Creed from UBI.. and then the logo reminded me of UBI Soft's logo itself.

Anyways, going to give it a try later on.

Named after the star Altair, and logo based on a spiral galaxy motif. Not so similar to UBI that I need a new logo I hope - spirals are a popular logo! Then again if a logo change could net me better distribution I am open to ideas

SaintXI - it looks interesting but the the title screen logo/ font doesn't work at all for me... It's too much of a "funny" font to match a serious game... and makes the logo look cheap imho.



This is just a quick play with the idea of a spiral, light and a different font and a background image that imho ties the title screen better to the space themed ingame screens.

I like it. Times like this I wish I had a bigger team (Including a designer!). That redesign is very interesting, and the diagonal ray of light ties in well with the title.

DayDream - thanks for the help, I've remade the logo using your design. I love the colours and font in your design - my chunkier/grey style is more consistent with the rest of the game (The original 'Funny' font is down to the same style reasoning - trying to match the feel of the game - and missing )
