MOON RISING

The saga continues...beta 0.7 now available

To say it's a beta is a little inaccurate, considering we're ball-deep in alpha
graphics and constantly changing gameplay elements such as, oh you know...the
rules of the game. But the salient point is this - it's available now and free
to play (we wish we could charge $30 for an alpha, but we're not Introversion).

So you want to know what the game's about? Well, it's a turn-based strategy
based on the Moon in a numerically satisfying year (2099, most likely), much in
the mold of Advanced Wars & Laser Squad and other such seminal works. Except
with a few twists we hope you'll like. "And what are those twists?", we hear you
scream (but only just because this is, after all, set in space). Video first,
though:




THE GAME

You begin with a Headquarters capable of producing various units from Astronauts
to Terraformers. With these you must capture more buildings and outwit your
opponent through a number of game types. Besides the Headquarters, there are two
types of building in Moon Rising - Solar Station and the Refinery.
Capturing Solar Stations will give you more power, enabling you to move your
units further each turn. The Refinery generates more income with which to
produce the aforementioned units. Simple.





 * 6 unique units
 * Astronaut | Rover | Supply Truck | Attacker | Mobile Launcher | Terraformer
 * 3 building types
 * Headquarters | Solar Station | Refinery
 * 3 exciting game modes
 * Radar | Transmission | Payload



One of the biggest changes we have made recently is the ability to transport
your units between buildings at a moderate cost in power. This has had a
profound impact on the game, increasing the pace and placing even more strategic
importance on the buildings you capture.


SINGLE PLAYER



Yes, there is a full, single-player campaign. But not only that, there is also a
Skirmish mode where you can play games against human or AI opponents on a
multi-player map of your choosing.


MULTIPLAYER (CROSS-PLATFORM, DON'T YOU KNOW?)



We have spent a great deal of time in perfecting the Multiplayer aspect of the
game. Currently, the Multiplayer lobby is where you'll create and discover new
games. It's fully asynchronous and cross-platform, which means that you can take
a turn, go and make a cup of tea (or even go on holiday) while your opponent
takes his or her turn.

There are 2, 3 and 4 player maps to play and we are currently implementing a
permanent ranking system which will gain (or lose) you points each time you
complete a map against human opponents.








DOWNLOAD BETA

We have had to remove the download links while we fix a bug with the player
registration system - follow us on Twiiter and Facebook for updates.


LINUX CLOSED BETA



We are now running a closed Beta for Linux users.
Moon Rising is developed using the Unity game engine meaning only Ubuntu 12.10
and above are currently supported.

smaller companies. We have a passion for games and we're old enough to have been

Whitmore and David Newman and we're very pleased to make your acquaintance,
albeit digitally.
