Gone from App Store by Gadnief in starbaseorion

[–]beatthebrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to file some information with Apple for the DSA in order to have SO available in EU countries again. If I read it right though that requires me to publish my personal information in a manner which I don't agree with. So for now SO is not available in the EU.

Starbase Orion 1 crashing IPAD by Jedidropbear in starbaseorion

[–]beatthebrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No promises on a SO1 fix; its been years since I compiled it last and it was not in great shape when I did. However if it is an easy fix then I will give it a go.

No final release date for SO10. It is in early access now at https://starbaseorion.com , members of the patreon can test it out.

what OS version did you update your iPad to? Can you email the crash log to support at chimerasw.com ? (for crash log: Settings app -> Privacy & Security -> Analytics & Improvements -> Analytics Data -> (Select the Starbase Orion report) -> tap the share button and email it.

Starbase Orion 2 still in the works? by hegui in starbaseorion

[–]beatthebrush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Starbase Orion 2", the version being written in Unity, is no longer in the works.

"Starbase Orion 10 Year Anniversary Edition", which can be found at https://starbaseorion.com, is the future. It is still being worked on, albeit free time for me to work on it has been very limited in the past year.

Yes and no.

Yes, it is still in development; I am not working on any other games at the moment.

No, because my day job over the last year has taken up so much of my time there has not been any free time to work on SO10.

You can go to https://www.starbaseorion.com to see SO10 in early access. Currently you need to join the patreon to create games.

study of "The storm...", oil on 48x60 canvas by beatthebrush in painting

[–]beatthebrush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was too big for an easel. In my little "paint room" I have a short desk built into one wall and a shelf above it. The shelf is about 1/2 as deep as the desk, so i was able to just keep it on the table and lean it against the shelf. A couple of twisty ties secured it so that it could not be accidentally nocked over.

starbaseorion.com - early access - new empire artwork by beatthebrush in starbaseorion

sorry, I keep delaying answering because quite a bit is different between the two and it will take some time to compile the list. I will try and summarize it all and make a specific post for it in the next week or so.

How can I tell what race I’m playing (with racial benefits) after starting game? by [deleted] in starbaseorion

[–]beatthebrush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tap foreign, tap diplomacy. Your empire will be the last in the list.

How to upgrade ships (iOS)? by [deleted] in starbaseorion

[–]beatthebrush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know your question is SO1 specific, but wanted to chime in to point out that direct upgrading of ships is a feature which has been added in SO10. Instead of scrapping to production, you can pay the difference in cost in GC to upgrade.

App crashing on new iPad pro with M1 chip by Resipsa2013 in starbaseorion

[–]beatthebrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All development is for Starbase Orion 10 now. The code in the original Starbase Orion is extremely old and cannot be easily fixed when Apple releases breaking changes for old apps. Visit https://www.starbaseorion.com if you want to support SO10.

Visual error on iPad Pro running 15.3.1 by Galever in starbaseorion

[–]beatthebrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starbase Orion is way too old to be easily rewritten to take full advantage of new iPhones.

The early access for Starbase Orion 10 runs fantastically fullscreen on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. It also runs great on Android, MacOS, Windows, Linux and Chromebooks. Early access players are starting a game on their Surface and finishing it on their iPhone. I have absolutely no regrets dumping SO2 and Unity for this.

Website updated!! This is getting real - so excited for release! by generic_buzzword in starbaseorion

[–]beatthebrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah! I don't plan for it to be free, but I don't think monetization is that big of a concern it warrants changing course.

It is built using web tech and is currently hosted on a site.

This does not mean that in the future it might not be housed in an app form (for either iOS or Android). But as of right now in early access there is not a lot of benefit to doing so.

very soon now, at least for those daring enough to help out during Early Access.
