IRC Server Log 2008

[IS] So lets talk about Astroseries Millenia. When did you make it?
[AF] I released this game in September 2006.
[IS] How long did it take to make?
[AF] Some seven months or so. My programming skills weren�t the best back then. It could be done faster now.
[IS] I assume you are a fan of Star Wars and Star Trek?
[AF] Yes I am.
[IS] In Astroseries Millenia towards the end a Promised Planet is mentioned. Is this an allegory for Israel and the Jewish people?
[AF] In reality it is not. Actually I did not think about any allegory at all when I introduced the concept of the Promised Planet. I just created it to give characters some sense of fulfillment, some place to try to reach to. A bit like when in Wizard of Oz they seek to reach Oz or when Frodo in Lord of the Rings seeks to reach mount Doom.
[IS] I see. Any plans to continue making more Astroseries games?
[AF] There have been some. Probably by 2009 or 2010, not sure. But more Astroseries will come.
[IS] Do you plan on any innovations?
[AF] I believe gameplay will preserve some of the current mechanics, but I aim at making better artificial intelligence, provide many more power up items, and in general spice up the graphics and story some more. Maybe an episodic release.
[IS] Any plans for a multiplayer game?
[AF] Yes, probably set in the Astroseries universe, or sort of. The game would give players freedom to conquer or colonize planets, and assemble fleets and such. Nothing too defined yet.
[IS] Thanks for the chat.
