I believe this originated in Bulgaria, but it can be played in a number of different languages. I just stumbled upon it recently. It is basically a space strategy game played in a browser where a persistent galaxy resets at intervals (not sure what that interval is). Four "Universes" up at present. Buy Nanocredits with Euros and spend that to travel up the tech tree on your world and presumably conquer others. And I really don't think you're capable of doing anything without Nanocredits. SMS alerts of activity, and a vacation mode. I'm sure this is the norm for this type of game. One interesting thing they do: vote for the game for resources. 1. Go to their Vote page. Requires you're logged in, but trust me, it's there. There are 12 different links to different portals. 2. Click a link. 3. Vote in the popup window. 4. Get resources. 5. Timer for that link resets to 24 hours. Interesting model. I would quite imagine other of these types of games do this. Seems like an interesting meta activity with a much more transparent advertising feedback loop. And I also found it interesting that each of the 12 sites did actually have the games sorted in different orders. I found it curious just how many NON fantasy games were on these lists. Lots of space and mafia ones though. Link added. Title: Re: Bulfleet Post by: schild on February 05, 2009, 05:23:39 PM Way to link, hot shot.

And just for kicks, the entire first page of results for "Bulfleet" on Google are for the same game. Must be a pretty unique name :grin: Title: Re: Bulfleet Post by: LK on February 05, 2009, 05:47:29 PM I wonder if LucasArts will sue them for using the Death Star in their logo.
Also, for shame, no screenshots? Title: Re: Bulfleet Post by: Venkman on February 05, 2009, 06:00:27 PM Really not much to actually "look" at per se, it seems. A bunch of different web pages of statistics about your holdings and what you can do to grow them. Lacks that Dofus-style persistent world representation. How do you classify something like this?

Speaking of, that thread should probably be moved to this subforum. Title: Re: Bulfleet Post by: schild on February 07, 2009, 07:22:15 AM Good call, forgot about it (probably due to the thread title).
