When I was a teenager and bought my first computer, there were two games that blew me away with what #PcGaming could be: #MasterOfOrion and #SystemShock. I’ve played plenty of 4X and immersive sims since then, but it’s amazing to see #CitadelStation look this good.

- Hello Brother in the stars, I hope our coexistence is peaceful minutes later.

One minute later

- It has bitten. Put a spy in him, I want all his technology. And he blames another civilization for it.

Darlocks when I play against them.

- Hello sister... Why are there four hundred small ships in the sky and each one has a nuclear bomb? Sister?

And here's 250 pixel planets and some other space assets on #ItchIO : https://helianthus-games.itch.io/pixel-art-planets

Honestly, this #masteroforion #moo2 remake is borderline making itself. Someone should do this!

✨ Someone should remake Master of Orion 2.

No innovations, no bells and whistles, no fancy nothing. Just make it work on modern devices, make the UI not lag, and add cross platform multiplayer so people can have a match across mobile/mac/windows.

That would be the best. The #game holds up remarkably well.

I missed yesterday's #WebGamesAdvent games: "Master of 1000 Suns", and the quasi-sequel "Master of 13k Suns". They're both #incremental games meant to be minimized versions of #4X space conquest games like #MasterOfOrion.

Which do you prefer?

@deezy It might be that. But also - some older games are terrifyingly accessible and fun. E.g. The first time I played #MasterOfOrion (first one) was around 2021, and I literally couldn't stop playing. Then I tried the second one, and it was even better. :blobfoxaww:

I might give Pathologic a try someday, but perhaps when I feel better, just in case. :blobfoxlaughsweat:

+++And now: The state of the galaxy+++

#MasterOfOrion

I hear there is a bug preventing this to be played on Windows. Mebbe give #LinuxGaming a chance? Cuz here it seems to work - even on Wayland and with AMDGPU!

Also sorry for cut borders - I was basically just fiddling with my scenes that day and didn't really plan a recording.

I've probably mentioned this before, but Remnants of the Precursors is a #free #opensource #4x #game which is a remaster or reforging of #MasterOfOrion

If you enjoy #space #strategy theres no reason not to try this out.
