Yeah, I’m planning to go pretty abstract with my graphics too, a kind of neon style. Mostly, to make up for my lack of actual art skills ;D

Graphically, I’m thinking DefCon style, maybe even some gameplay elements from it too. Trying to work in Discovery as much as possible; I like the idea of discovery to “win” a game, so the more a player discovers (vs. bots) the stronger his empire is.

Good luck =)

Oh neat, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I think I’m going to keep the visuals pretty abstract, so the boats probably won’t look much like boats.

I was thinking something similar, but I wanted to avoid any references to sailing or boats.
