Shrapnel Games announces the next great epic science-fiction strategy game, Star Legacy! This game is being developed by the Star Legacy Development Group, and scheduled for release on late 2011.
Star Legacy is promised to be a feature-rich 4x game being designed from scratch. The game is targeted to answer the simple question: “what would the ultimate sci-fi 4X game include?”
Turn-Based with Multiplayer
Star Legacy will be an open-ended turn-based game. As in all good 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) titles it promises to offer a full range of choices: spaceship design, research new technologies, colonize new worlds. The game will offer multiplayer, although its exact form is still being worked out.
High Modability, not only graphics but almost anything else
Graphics will be 2D, and the developers promise that anyone will be allowed to modify the visuals without the need of specialized software or knowledge. The developers also promise high modability to allow players to easily mod not only the graphics in Star Legacy but also everything else since most files will be XML based and can be altered with a simple text editor. With this players will have extreme freedom to shape the game as they see fit.
By default the game will offer between 12 and 15 alien races and also pirates, which the player can also decide to be.

The Star Legacy Development Group is a start up development team consisting of eleven members from around the world. Bringing a range of various skills to the table from digital art to scripting to programming all members are experienced modders and die hard fans of the turn based 4X space strategy genre.

Late 2011 seems optimistic.
I wonder what Malafador will make of this, if he notices. SE5 was a franchise-killer.
First Malfador mucked up the SE franchise, then selling it off to Strategy First finally killed it. It was fun when it was SE4, but doesn’t look like anyone’s going to do another like it. Rather than try people keep putting their own “new take” on it and crappifying it.
I visited that site, and I think this game’s dead in the water. There hasn’t been a post by the development team in months that wasn’t off-topic or some other fluff.
The game is still in development, and it’s at a stage where almost small games can be played. Still, a huge load of work still needs to be done, as it’s a big project.
We all develop it in our spare time, that’s why progress is extremely slow. But when there’s news to tell, Shrapnel Games will surely release it!
Great to hear that Roberto, the fact that the game is still in development I mean. Star Legacy forums (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/forumdisplay.php?f=224) have been silent for a long time, in terms of news and point of status at least, so people have starting to think the worse.
Keep us posted here. I’m sure the community is always eager for news. If you ask I’m convinced that some people will even be willing to help you, if you’re open to that of course.
Keep it up!
