Hijack the International Space Station and retrofit laser cannons. That's Captain Forever. With one hand on the keyboard you duck and weave through an endless universe of hostile star-ships, your own weapons tearing at their hulls. Each vessel is a flotilla of girders, boosters, and lasers welded in a unique configuration. Blast open an enemy's command module and these components drift freely into space. With a quick hand on the mouse you scoop these up and weld them to your own ship, building yourself stronger, faster, more dangerous. Be careful though - your design dictates your flight characteristics. Put all your weight or boosters on one side and you'll fly in circles. Aim a laser in the wrong direction and you could shoot off your own wing! In Captain Forever you can build a dreadnought brimming with lasers or a sleek starfighter. The choice - and the ship - are yours, Captain. Captain Forever is a free web game with supporter-only sequels.
Captain Jameson is the fourth episode in the Captain Forever series. It's still in development, but it's shaping up rather nicely. This video shows how it's coming along.
It'll be finished some time late this year, at which time everyone who has signed up as a Captain Forever supporter will get to play it.
Music by Andrew Leys. Thanks Andrew!
Serious sound issues, but otherwise...NICE!
I think the voice quality adds charm to the demo! Seeing as the game takes place in an alternate time line 20 years ago.
It went over your head, didn't it mate... ;)
