    Knights of the Old Republic? That was an awesome game. The alien voicing would be awesome :p

    Text is just fine, just make sure the grammar is correct (there are plenty of TA guys who would be willing to help). Voiceovers add a ton to the overall filesize and unless your story is very, very story based they aren't too important.

    The story will be the biggest aspect of the game we are focusing almost all our time on it before we even started the graphics we were creating the story and molding it... It is almost in beta form it will be released in three betas the first one is going to be a PC beta so players can see the mechanics and feel how the story is... Then a iOS beta and finally a final beta and a release ... I will be selecting for the beta soon so here it comes!!!

    Kudos to you for trying to make an iOS game with a focus on story. I can think of a grand total of, uhmmm, one iOS game that does that, and it's a port (go figure).

    With voiceovers and all these worlds you're looking at a mammoth filesize. Also voiceovers mean lip sync, which I hear can be big bucks.

    Thx and yes lip syncing would be massively expensive thankfully the aliens wear helmets kinda like the quarians... There are only two humans that talk to you directly and it's on holo vids is due to the distance of the projection it will be jumpy... So no lip sync necessary thank the lord...

    We just finished creating the terrains for all the planets we just need to populate them with trees and objects... Every planet will be open world which is neat so you will have more freedom to go where you want on the planet... There's 23 of them... The ship enteriors are under construction... Yay we are getting there the beta will play on pc and consist of the first mission or two and have two ships three planets and two dialogue sections... I'll let you know when you can sign up for it...

    Yay!!! So a little contest for you all... Whoever can come up with the coolest name for our company will score a copy of the beta... Also what do you all think about a kick starter fund where if you pay 15 bucks you'll get the CD with all 17 tracks and pre-purchase the game(10 bucks for CD 4.99 for game) also the price point will be 6.99 when the game comes out...

    Wow that was quick... So armor has equipment slots 18 to be exact... In these slots you can equip speed modules stealth modules shield modules etc... Human attachments can be Incorporated instantly... Alien ones have to be modified by scientists it's you purchase to staff your ship while away on missions the modifications take time but don't worry as there is no iAP you can pay them credits earned on your missions to work overtime and get them modified quicker... These modules could mean life or death on the battle field and you can equip multiple of the same type so you can have a character with ridiculous amounts of over-shields or speed or stealth or etc... This however drains your suits core powers which effects reload time and makes you vulnerable to some special attacks also I your core is at 0% then you will take more damage than normal and move slower and be louder etc...

    In the game you will be running around the galaxy and doing quests for important people it's sorta like you scratch my back ill scratch yours... It is through completing these missions that you will earn the respect of alien races... Partway through the campaign the bug aliens will wake up and start to kill everything so it will be up to you weather or not to help the aliens or put yourself and humanity first...there are multiple plot twists and heart-reanching decisions like do I hand over the Intel and save the person I romanced or do I let her die for the good of the galaxy... We want this to be as moral delima heavy as titles like wastelands, heavy rain and the walking dead...
