Huge thanks to anyone who helps out with a vote/comment. Steam is pretty much the gateway to the "big audience" for indie PC games. Getting there can be tricky for an indie dev, and every vote helps!

Hey Ogres and Ogre-etts.

Salvation Prophecy was released today on GamersGate
http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SALVATION/ ... n-prophecy



Salvation Prophecy is a military space epic. Human, mutant, and robotic factions are at war for galactic domination. Battles rage as space fleets collide, and planet invasions clash against fortified enemy colonies. Yet the greatest danger is the impending annihilation foretold by an apocalyptic prophecy. You must seek out the mysteries of distant alien worlds, and master ancient powers to withstand the coming storm.

Space Combat

• Engage in epic space battles with 50 fighter ships, space stations, and battleships.
• Upgrade your ship with more powerful weapons, missiles, engines, shields, reactors, and EMPs.

Planet Battle

• Embark on drop ship missions to invade enemy colonies. Battle against enemy troops, turrets, flier-bombers, and powerful mech units.

Alien Planet Exploration

• Navigate your ship through unstable wormholes to unknown galaxies.
• Explore alien planets inhabited by dangerous creatures.
• Discover the secrets of an apocalyptic prophecy.
• Seek out the guardians of ancient runes.

Military Command

• Gain ranks by completing missions.
• Rise up to lead your faction's military strategy.
• Construct planet colonies, space stations, and military units.
• Order new missions to attack the enemy.

Claws and fangs tear and rend
Through fiery portals demons descend
Bloodlust and fury the darkest hour
Claws and fangs in darkness devour

Congratulations! Its awesome!
Does it come to steam?

[Jabberwocky]

Thanks!
I'm working on Steam, but it's a tough nut to crack.

[bstone]

Amazing news! Congrats! Really happy to hear you made it to GamersGate after all the troubles. The game looks pro!

[CABAListic]

Congratulations! Definitely one of the best-looking indie games out there. If you do get it on Steam, I'll pick it up instantly - don't have a GamersGate account right now

[Mind Calamity]

Congratulations! I'm glad you finally published your game.

But sadly I didn't find any demo

[Jabberwocky]

Thanks bstone. Hopefully it doesn't take me 5 years to make my next game.

Yep, I'll keep tossing emails into the black hole that is the Steam submission process. We'll see how it goes.

But sadly I didn't find any demo

I've got a free demo built, but I guess GamersGate doesn't have a download link for it. Any suggestions where I could host it for download?

[Mind Calamity]

Yaay! If you don't mind a filehost, then you can use [s]MediaFire[/s]. I haven't used anything else in a while.

<Edit> I forgot the 200 MB filesize limit.
I don't know if GameFront has a filesize, but I tried uploading a 250mb file and it didn't have a problem with it.

</Edit>

[duststorm]

That is great news! I definitely have to try it out.
I assume it's in digital download form only? Will you be able to get it to disk too?

[areay]

Super-phat-mad-props to you Jabberwocky, we've all been following your progress and we're so darn impressed that you're finally releasing it!

This has gotta be the biggest Ogre3D game since Torchlight.

Looks like you're starting to get a bit of a community going too http://www.salvationprophecy.com/forum/ ... p?f=4&t=52

Best of luck with sales and please let us know about your struggles with Steam and other distribution problems.

Cheers and congratulations

[BTolputt]

This has gotta be the biggest Ogre3D game since Torchlight.

That we know of. Remember, the licensing of Ogre3D (the current MIT & previous commercial ones) don't require you tell people that you are using it.

With that out of the way, congratulations on your release Jabberwocky. It's always good to see an indie finish a game, even better when it's with the engine you also happen to be using

[bstone]

Thanks bstone. Hopefully it doesn't take me 5 years to make my next game.

Lol. I'd rather spend another 5 years making a game and be proud of that than realize that I've done nothing and wasted them

Agreed, but working for 5 years is tough, not to mention that in indie game development you usually don't have funding from the start, so you have to support your self in alternate ways during those 5 years. While we're on the subject, how does an independent game developer support himself without funding ?

Pick one or more!
* a day job
* a rich spouse/friend
* kickstarter
* government social welfare
* prostitution

[Slappy]

Congratulations!

I would like to say: this is not an Indie game! (my personal opinion)

This is freaky awesome professional game made by one man

[yapdakilla]

Congrats! Looks really awesome !

[chaosavy]

Congratulations! I'm going to have to setup a gamers gate account.


Here's another site I came across recently: http://www.spacegamejunkie.com/ that might be helpful to the cause

[sleo]

+1 Congratulation! Wishing good sales plus Addon or Salvation Prophecy 2 or Salvation Prophecy Online.

[realaxis]

Good to see that it is out, will pick it up soon.

[dark_sylinc]

Congrats!! Looking very polished!

[Yati]

Congrats! Really hope Steam takes you in, they'd be missing out other wise.

Your projects been going since when I first started playing with Ogre.

[kneeride]

awesome stuff! the space scenes look fantastic - you can really notice the depth of the scene. btw, did you do the graphical content yourself?

[spookyboo]

Congratulations! Good luck with selling this baby

He explains alot how he did things in the other thread http://ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=66883

Looking good hope it sells well!

Will you be giving out any figures after it's peaked? I know a lot of people are interested how well indie projects actually do.

[TheSHEEEP]

Holy shit! Must buy as soon as I get home!
