Story :
Greetings, conqueror !
You are a proud member of one of the 4 mighty clans living around planet Delgacron !
In order to promote the sharing of the numerous resources between the clans,
the planetary general council installed a network of teleporters, lining together
all the chunks of land of the asteroid crown of Delgacron.
New technologies were developed with the sharing of rare resources.
But now, this is an open war where selfisness triumphs !
_____________
Description :
You arrive to a fresh, unexplored land.
Grab your pickaxe, and dig your way to the various resources under the ground.
Build some things.
Attack the other player's land to steal some resources from them ! But watch out for their defenses !
Go back home, build more stuff. Build defenses to slow down enemy players !
_______
Glitches corrected :
Flash : - the power "Deconnect towers" crashes the game
- dammage displays were behind characters
- jetpack crashes when used at the very bottom of the map
- computation of powers values corrected
- the second bullet of the "double fire" power doesn't hit the player anymore
- change some sentences to make them more understandable

Unfortunately, I could never figure out how to "connect device to siphon energy" Or was just touching the mine enough?
The game is really polished... I'm surprised you are able to do this quality of work and a complicated game in such a short time.
@Crefossus : We are 3 programmers (one for the server, one for the editor and one for the arcade) and 2 graphic artists. So, with a lot of excitement, we do a lot, but ain't got enough time to balance correctly the game :s
Good job!

A really detailed virtual world with lots of classic things to get players to stick at it farmville-style.
Its really difficult to make a multiplayer game for LD; I suffered problems getting people to play in LD24 myself.
Loved the graphics, loved the game's depth, loved the tech behind it all, wanted to see the kind of missile systems you blogged on the main page, but didn't really seem to have anyone to play with :(
It's a great concept, but invading the other players' bases was not interesting and rarely a challenge. Having to wait for the portal to open, although the world has no defences that could stop you was pretty annoying.
The resource gathering speed is about right when you would play it over the course of several weeks/months, but I think it is too low for Ludum Dare.
Also it would be great to be able to place undestructible blocks again, or else when you miss-dig one time you can't close the hole anymore.
