Zigfrak - Indie Freelancer w/ RPG elements and awesome graphics! - Games

Hey guys, I found this pretty cool space shooter/simulation/RPG game in its alpha stage that the dev posted over on reddit. He wants people to check it out so here I am posting it for you guys. Check out the video, oh and those concerned about graphics; you won't be disappointed. Video: [url]http://zigfrak.com/[/url] Download (Windows & OSX!): [url]http://www.zigfrak.com/alpha01/[/url] Some cool features: -Cool guns that you find will be useful as you level up. -Ships that have cool guns WILL DROP THOSE GUNS. None of that AI gun only bullshit. -LEGENDARY WEAPONS! -Factions, with a hostile one that will fuck your shit up. Here's copy paste from author: More than just an idea, this is a project that I've been working on in my spare time (no, not all of it) for around three years. The game is a third-person space shooter with some RPG elements to it. This weekend, I spun up something that I'm comfortable with (although still nervous about) calling an alpha, for sharing with more people. While the wisdom of sharing unfinished alphas is probably up for debate, I think it's a good thing which can help an independent developer more than it will probably hurt. Also-- sharing is caring. Please take a look! - occi from Reddit

Looks like a really interesting and fun game, I'll try it out.

Seems very unique, a 3rd person, sci fi, rpg, shooter simulation. I'll look into this a little more. Watched a dev video on it and it looks really cool, I was expecting alot worse for a alpha game. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C939Uu7_ABE[/media]

This could be an alt. to eve.

Looks pretty damn awesome.

it doesn't have trent though does it :(

I wish games like this had a community like Minecraft. Lets hope it does not become viperware

[QUOTE=darth-veger;24514887]I wish games like this had a community like Minecraft. Lets hope it does not become viperware[/QUOTE] tru dat space games never reach the full light of day

Is there a cap on the download speed or does my internet just suck.

Bookmarking for later, thanks OP!

Looks interesting, will try later

[QUOTE=darth-veger;24514887]viperware[/QUOTE] Like a snake? I think you mean vaporware.

This looks great. As soon as I finish building my gaming rig, I'll try this.

Seems pretty awesome so far. I like the enormous sense of scale you get from the continuous galaxy and systems, the laser sights on the guns, the way you can dock and steal everything. A few polish things would really help, like brackets around ships so they're easier to make out, and proper sounds (muffled fighting feels strange).

No first person deception :(

[QUOTE=pikzen;24521124]No first person deception :([/QUOTE] You can zoom in more and its pretty much first person.

[QUOTE=koekje4life V2;24517664]Like a snake? I think you mean vaporware.[/QUOTE] nah im pretty sure he meant viperware

Is it kinda like Eve online, except simpler and more fast paced?

ohh gonna check it out tomorrow, sounds good.

I definitely wanna try this, but I can't get the download to work at all. Gets to about 20% and freezes. Is there a more reliable mirror or something?

You can't save at the moment so you may as well wait till he releases the next version, which would be in the next week or so.

Holy shit that is downloading slow 12mb/s and it's purportedly going to take 1 full hour. The file is only 85 Megabytes [editline]03:00PM[/editline] oh wait now there's 12 minutes left [editline]03:00PM[/editline] Stupid internet

The download on that site refuses to work! The site only loads 3 out 5 times I F5 it anyway. Waiting till next version, and hopefully a more stable download on his site. Keep the thread alive!

I uploaded it to mediafire for anyone that doesnt have it. [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?ahbbolhh7bozj8p[/url]

Where's the exit button i had to alt-f4 out.

[QUOTE=Slacker101;24529753]Where's the exit button i had to alt-f4 out.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure there isn't one.

How can I change the resolution? It looks kind of bad on my monitor, and there are no options. Otherwise it's kind of fun.

[QUOTE=Sharker;24529835]Pretty sure there isn't one.[/QUOTE] It's like he wants us to play it forever.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;24514887]I wish games like this had a community like Minecraft. Lets hope it does not become viperware[/QUOTE] Are you fucking kidding me? The Minecraft forum community is [I]shit.[/I] Nothing but 12 year old ass-burger idiots. The Facepunch one is alright though. But that's because Facepunch weeds out 12 year old ass-burger idiots.
