Hi all. Used to play this a lot (I go way back 2002) then recently last year went and played GO for a while. I love SK and it's many clones. It's not the most exciting game at 1st glance but the social side of it, the wars, drama, politics and tears make it a game I want to keep coming back too.
Problem is it's dieing and I know many failed attempts have been made to bring it back to it's glory days but they weren't good enough.
What I'm thinking is building another clone. I know beanland done it and it died out like the rest. So why would my try be different?
I want you guys to help. Ideas on what to improve. What should it be called? If you know asp.net and c# you can help build it. It will be hosted on git if the demand is there.
I want to make it in to an android app to help boost players.
And update the crappy design to a modern responsive theme.
Also was thinking of using html canvas to change the sector screen to actual planets(kds) rotating a star slowly (maybe phase two lol)
Other ideas were removing sector state and allow kd to set it's own state
New research like research level 2 tanks
New planet types
New buildings
New probe attacks
Integrate the attack cal to SOM and on the attack screen
Include a newbie Simulator with the ability to save your starting strategy for next round privately or publicly for others
Better protection from gang banging
Maybe add 2 bots for every 1 person to boost numbers - these will build randomly from a few templates and will attack people who appear in SN. They won't suicide unless it's been two or randomly generated days without a land grab, see they get desperate too...
Community driven you want it, we build it.
What does everyone think? Or am I crazy?
Already started by the way. Have user sign up and login done and halfway through KD set up. 1st planet type is Nuclear...

Won't work
We play sk because its sooo shit
We don't want another holo
The biggest thing I would say though is to keep it as simple as possible. Extra researches and what not aren't needed. The balance has to stay there. If @Bcartfall would keep just some bit of interest in improving this game then it would be a lot better.
How do people create and manage all the multis? There are ways of blocking them. Honey traps for bots and Page completion time for people running macros. Same ip interaction = autoban. Not allowing same ip to hit the same target within 24 hours...
@TMonsta I could recreate sk quickly and give you more planet types.
Exactly the same except minor copyright changes, then work from there.
think of things of how bad SK does it, and do it worse
realistically the problem with most sk type games on the app store is that they do not ever reset so you are always behind the first players, so the resets would keep people interested
