Hey there!
We have finished a new trailer for the beta of Star Villains and Space Heroes. It shows off some nice video gameplay of stuff we've done since the demo. Have a look!
We've also finished site renovations, along with a shiny new domain name! Check out www.svsh-game.com for new information on factions, some new screenshots, ships lists, and loads of other cool things.

September 10th: Podcast! And some screenshots.
Posted on September 11, 2013, by Nertea.
Alex and I were recently on Space Game Junkie's podcast, where we talked about SVSH and a bunch of other sci-fi things. I highly recommend giving it a listen!
In addition, Alex has put up a new devlog entry with some of the things we talked about in the podcast featured as screenshots. They are, in general, quite nice!

March 27th: Development Blog - Alex Tears Apart a Starship
Posted on March 27, 2013, by Nertea.
Hey all,
We've started up a development blog over here. We are going to try to keep it updated as frequently as possible. Right now we're going to be doing a set of three features on what goes into producing improved destruction models for Star Villains and Space Heroes. The first one - Alex Tears Apart a Starship - is up now, in which Alex talks about how he goes about cutting up and destroying his models.
Once you've read it - and it is awesome, I assure you - stay tuned as I'll be adding my two cents sometime on the weekend.

March 20th: Plans for the future
Posted on March 20, 2013, by Nertea.
It's been two weeks since we released the demo of Star Villains and Space Heroes. We're super excited by the reception so far. The demo has been downloaded about 250 times counting all mirrors, which is awesome! Thanks everyone!
We've been busily working away on the full version of Star Villains and Space Heroes, assembling the first beta release. We're going to work on a tiered release schedule - we'll have periodic updates at important points in the development cycle.
The first thing that we're going to work on is a full-featured skirmish mode. You'll be able to set up battles between two (and eventually up to four) fleets - choosing from all of the playable factions and starships. We aim to include several configurable game modes, like convoy escorts, all-out fleet battles and others.
Eventually, we'll move that skirmish mode online and introduce multiplayer. You'll be able to play versus type matches as well as work cooperatively against AI fleets.
Finally, we'll release a single-player campaign which will tell the story of the Star Villains and Space Heroes universe.
Here's a quick breakdown of what to expect as we release betas and updates:
First beta: skirmish mode. Set up battles of whatever size your want, wherever you want.
We're always working to improve and streamline controls. And look forward to a completely new fully 3D game interface!
A future update will feature functioning multiplayer. We're really excited for this one!
Carriers! These vessels (along with some of the larger capital ships) are the main dimension of gameplay excluded from the Demo. We've been working on it all along, but we want to make sure the experience is awesome, so look forward to fighter furballs in future versions!
More ships! Each faction will feature about 10 unique starship frames. Ship classes will include Scouts, Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships, Dreadnoughts, and Carriers, all with different play styles, and variants for when you get tired of the stock weapon loadouts.
More factions! The final version of SVSH will include at least five main playable factions, each with a full space navy of capital ships.
The Campaign : SVSH takes place in a big universe, and if you're a fan of space opera, you might enjoy some characters and story to motivate your epic space battles.
Let us know what you think - If you've played the demo, tell us what you thought! If you've got any thoughts, or things you'd like to see, comment here. If you didn't play the demo, you should go try it!

February 12th: Kilo Class Cruiser Feature
Posted on February 12, 2013, by Nertea.
Welcome to the first Starship Feature, which will be showing off the Kilo Class Cruiser - the workhorse of the EMPOL starfleet.
You can check out their faction page by clicking on the KILO logo on the Media page on the website or by heading over to our IDB page.
Additionally, we've got three pretty sweet wallpapers that Alex has cooked up for three of the EMPOL ships. They are pretty great (the third one is currently serving time as my own background), so be sure to check them out!
