Shai came over last night and he, along with Bobby and I, hacked away at Concurr, the web-based space strategy game based originally based on Konquest. The new features include a newly fixed multi-party combat model that once again produced messages (my contribution), a display of a planet’s current upkeep (Shai’s contribution), and a reintroduction of move cancellation (Bobby’s contribution).<\/p>\n
After we each completed our task, we played a short game that Bobby won. I still find the game totally fascinating to play — in\u00c2\u00a0 games of more than two people, it is very difficult to tell who is going to win until late in the game, because the game is quite well balanced.\u00c2\u00a0 I guessed that bobby was going to win about half way through the game, but I wasn’t sure enough about it to conceed the point. The multi-party combat model makes the game much more strategically deep — you can now attack the same planet from multiple places effectively, as long as you ensure that all your ships arrive at the same time.<\/p>\n
Key features still planned include an in-game chat interface, integration with Facebook, end-game detection, and an improved user interface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
