Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that the Remnants of the Precursors project is on the home stretch. We are very close to beta now, where beta = feature complete. 

The last alpha was released on Christmas and includes tactical ship combat plus the last two of the 10 races. 

Is it a perfect modernization of MOO1? Well, obviously not but I think it's as close as we'll ever see. If you haven't seen it in a while, you should head over to the subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/rotp 

There's a link to the latest patch and download page with a ton of screenshots.

It's so close. I spent entire last week making the revamped Races UI, which was probably the most complicated single programming task I have left until we do a beta.

Been playing this in pre-beta and I think people will be surprised at how much thought and attention to detail has gone into making MOO a joy to play again. ROTP is my current favourite game.

I agree...    it's not very many games that make it past conception to a working mvp...    many die before they even get a valid framework up.

I've played it and I guess in today's day and age where everyone has an opinion, I'll just say, try it yourself I'm fairly confident you won't regret it.

I have been  playing a ton lately, probably too much. Lots of fun. Great job Ray, so much effort and time. I hope people are playing it 20 years down the road.

Special hi to RefSteel.

Hey, it's great to hear from you again! My schedule lately has precluded any kind of gaming at all (which is also why I haven't managed to start up the next OSG, though I'd be thrilled if others wanted to kick it off, and I'd try to join in later on...) but I definitely concur that Remnants is really impressive work!
