It's is not that I don't like them, more like I hate them.
I am greek btw, not english. No harm done. k:

My guess (without having no knowledge of course) is that the game is going to be released before Xmas. Which is nice, to have a new good 4X game for the cold cold nights/days/free time of the Winter.

Well in the meantime, those of you wiht access to G4TV can catch the SotS trailers on Cinemetech over the next while! Also there will be a ramping up of screenshots to keep you guys happy. k:

For those who haven't checked in lately: A whole lot of screens, some concept art (Thanks Mecron ) and three wallpapers have been added to the Kerberos site.

OK, I have to say something. It is not related to the game but to the company's site. I don't know if it is my browser or I just have strange taste but I find the design of the site (with the window inside the window) that narrows so much the viewing eh of the site, very very annoying.
Again, nothing to do with the game or the content of the site!!!

Doubler- You know us, we are pleaser people. k: There will be more concept art posted over the next few weeks as well. New screenshots are also showing the evolution of things to their final state such as the new gateship fx shown in the new wallpaper.

Eft- I know what you mean. At work on my lower resolution monitor its fine but at home on my big ol 21 inch monitor and its uber resolution I am nagged by the open space as well. A revamp is in the cards but to be honest, all our resources are going into the game right now so super-shiny website stuff is on the backburner. :tai:

im confused. is there no real plot to this game? like a campaign mode? or is it just pitched battles of your choosing ?

[Doubler]

It's 4X, it's story is that of the rise (and/or fall) of an Empire, different each time.

And if you're not familiar with the genre, Ascendancy is available for download on Abandonia. That's 4X

[Mecron]

Yes, Talon. It is a strategic wargame as opposed to a RTS Adventure game. The Homeworld references are more about people trying to describe the 3-D real time combat resolution as opposed to the full game itself. But it is more than just a series of battles just as being in charge of the Americans in WW2 is about more than a series of battles.

[efthimios]

It is more like Master of Orion than it is say Homeworld or Imperial Galactica (something like that). It has all the good parts of them (great graphics, cool battle effects), with the inclusion of strategic gameplay of Master of Orion, Space Empires, Galactic Civilizations etc, but with more streamline GUI. At least that is what I get so far, I am not a beta tester or have access to the game in any way to know more. BUT, we do have Mecron here who is a kind of an insider guy.
