SFML projects / Earth Defenders -- Commercial game project
« on: March 05, 2008, 06:23:58 am »
Hello everyone!
We are a small team of independent developers called "The Virtual Adventurers", and we found out about SFML some time ago (by the way, many thanks to Laurent for his great work on the library).
Here's our project: Earth Defenders, a action/strategy hybrid game which we will sell on the Web for around 20$ if it reaches a high level of quality enough. This project is done entirely with SFML and irrKlang (for the sound effects).
The basic idea is this:
The player is a spaceship pilot who works for the Earth Defenders Coalition, who must protect the Earth from all hostile forces. During the course of the game, the player will accomplish various missions.
Eventually, it will be possible to harvest resources (from asteroids or destroyed spaceship debris) to create your own ship types (many types of weapons and equipment will be available), to lead squadrons into battle, and to control space stations to produce ships, recruit pilots, create automatic stationnary weapons, etc.
The campaign will feature a detailed, non-linear story which will be influenced by the player's actions.
You can download the demo here:

Important news are announced on our homepage:

Stay tuned! New demos will be released relatively regularly.
Here are some screenshots:
Update (Version 0.4, December 8, 2008)
Important changes have been made (most are invisible for the players, unfortunately), and we're currently working on more.
The new version has (among other things):
-A new mission
-A much better tutorial
-New graphics
-A new and much upgraded AI
For the next version, we're working on:
-Introducing the strategic game
-More missions
-Making the game completely moddable
-A new interface and better graphics
