Title: Battle for Orion 2 - Steam Greenlight
Post by: Hubs on August 10, 2016, 08:44:22 AM
Hey Creeper Nation!

Over the past year I've been working on a real time strategy game called Battle for Orion 2, which is now on Steam Greenlight! Check it out here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=724733412 (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=724733412)!

Battle for Orion 2 takes you across the galaxy to conquer foes, expand your empire, and find a new home for humanity. Manage a space empire and build massive fleets to obliterate your enemies. To be successful, you'll need to effectively manage your economy, growth, military, and defense.

Check out the trailer on the Greenlight page. You can also see more information on my website (http://infloopgames.com/battle-for-orion-2/) and keep up to date on my forums (http://infloopgames.com/forums/index.php?topic=54.0).

If you have a steam account, please head over to the Greenlight page and give Battle for Orion 2 a Yes vote. Thanks!

Even if you don't think you'd play this game, it deserves a Yes vote to help it get greenlit for all the work he's put into it.

Nice job. Looks pretty good. I keep telling myself I'm going to write a game... someday.

I've looked at the alpha for the game... it has a whole lot of TLC put into it.  I've also looked at a lot of indie (and non indie) games on steam... and many of them don't. 

The games that are polished little jewels made by artisans that had an idea that just had to be expressed... at the end of the day those are the ones that are pretty cool, for me anyway.  Having watched Hubs craft this game and overcome disaster and technical hurdles, yeah... that alone tells me there has to be something in the game that was worth all the trouble.

You got my "yes."  Looks like it could be a good game and I've been impressed with the maps you've created here.

Thanks everyone! I still need a lot more votes to get Greenlit. Every vote counts, so please head to the greenlight page and vote 'Yes'!
