What is Yildiz Online?


Yildiz Online is a massively multiplayer strategy game(MMORTS). It's a combination of classical startegy game(like: Homeworld)
and management game(like: Ogame).
The game takes place in space and it is entirely in 3 dimensions. Its goal is to devolpoe and assure the management of its base.
and also to create its army with which players can attack other databases to steal their resources.
Yildiz Online is a mobile game which can be played on windows and linux platform.


About Yildiz Online:

The game is pretty well advanced. The engine works great and the different components are fully integrated as well.
Now it is possible to gain resources and to build the base with some buildings.Also it is possible to create units and make them
fight and attack a player to steal resources.


Objectives of Yildiz Online:

Yildiz Online is destined to become a commercial project. The economic model will be free to play with bonus pay.
A future version will witness the appearance of colonization of the planets in order to give an extra dimension to the game
and to enrich more the gameplay.
Currently, the game suggests two languages which are available: French and English.

The pictures I have posted or I will post do not represent the final view of the game but just to let you know that it's in the process and that it works well.
The 2D representation of the base and the icons are just temporary. They are some of certain actions of the vessels but I have
not drawn the final ones yet.

Your feedback is always welcomed

Updates:

Working on a powerful AI system; goal driven. This will give a better behavior to the units.

Updates:

-The latest version is deployed with several improvements.

-Check it on : Yildiz project

Updates:


- An important part of the software has been rewritten:

*the destruction of units, the code is now way better and less error prone, it was necessary to hunt some bugs really hard to identify.


- Now the focus is on new features and visual improvements; 3 major bugs are left(unit not destroyed when HP = 0, unit not responding to a move order in some case when attacking and the loss of mouse/keyboard when using the unit list window). They shouldnt be too hard to fix, but the exact cause still needs to be identified through more testing.

- Launcher side: The news will now be displayed in the same language as the one chosen for the game(English and French are currently available)

Update:


The new ship abilities system is progressing(vulture already had a jumping ability but the former system wasn't allowing to add new features easily).

The new ship will be an abilities based ship with no direct attacks but will mainly focuse on zone damages with missile launch.

Updates:


- Missile system is progressing well, there are only some few visual improvements to be done before the new release.

- The GUI will be also slightly changed so that to allow the access to management screens without any need to select the base.
