I’m starting to get artwork for the second of four ‘fleets’ for the game. What this means is that it’s time to organize in code and data which ship belongs to which species.<\/p>\n
Because this is a game about gratuitous space battles, I could go two ways:<\/p>\n
1) I could devise very tongue in cheek backstories for each race, I was thinking of maybe having a race of brutal aliens who are psychologically driven to violent warfare due to the number of apostrophes in their names etc.<\/p>\n
2) I could drop any pretence at giving a damn about backstory and call them generic names like “The Alliance” “The Rebels” “The Federation” “The Empire”. Etc.<\/p>\n
I’m also toying with the idea of a random space race name generator which names your four races on first install, so that you have different names to them from everyone else.<\/p>\n
