Starwoids request

Solid Snake · 22 April 2006, 14:00

After playing the 3 level demo on Aminet, I was wondering if a complete version of this pd gem existed? Can any resourceful user shed some light on this?

i don't think a full version was ever relesed cause i loved it too!
infact i'll do some digging as it's been mentioned before round here! yeah just checked is several mentions of it and no conclusions to a finished version, is some other similar type games tho if u use search at the top look for starwoids and you'll get the related info.

I have managed to locate the guy who did the graphics for this game so i have sent him a private msg! Asking if the game was ever finished etc.

Thanks Sarek2k for contacting the author of Starwoids. Hey, he may even have the full game lying around on some floppy/HD partition!

Well here it is Guys a Quote from the Graphic Artist on this project

Quote:

Hi,

No, Starwoids was never finished. Martin (the coder) was offered a job at a game company, and then I moved for a job and we never really got back together until it was too late for Starwoids to be relevant.

I remember that I'd made some more maps for it and new artwork but I don't think they were integrated into the game by that point.

There was another similar Amiga game that came out soon after the Starwoids demo that featured raytraced graphics and faster gameplay that made us wonder if we should start again.

I haven't played it in probably 10 years.

Rowan.

There you have it Sad really that it was never finished. Rowan states that

Well i am sure we'd love to see that personally i can't see anything being better (for a shareware game anyway) that would beat Starwoids.

Thanks for the Reply Rowan and good luck at what your doing now!

Ps Sorry about the delay on this post i'd forgotten about getting it and also i wanted to check with Rowan if it was ok for me to quote from his PM!
