Hi everybody!! Im a java developper and Im currently developping a game"Yildiz-online". Yildiz is a massively multiplayer strategy game(MMORTS). It’s a combination of classical startegy game(like: Homeword or Starcraft) and management game(like: Ogame). The game takes place in outer space colonized by humans, a lost expedition found abandonned space bases built by unknown civilization. After some centuries they developped and colonized the entire system. The game is entirely in 3 dimensions. Goal is to develop and assure the management of its base,or if you wish, to create an army to attack other players to steal their resources. Yildiz combines two different styles of games. It offers an innovative experience and offers a community aspect which pushes the interactions between players to widely promote theirdevelopment and the different possible research offer a wide range of customizing the way you play. The project is developed in java for the API and the surface of the engine. The internal components are in C++. Now the game is under Alpha test and I need volunteers to help me knowing if the game works fine, if there are any bugs… You can download it on: [http://yildiz.bitbucket.org](http://yildiz.bitbucket.org) You can report bugs on: [Yildiz Online (Alpha) :: Index](http://yildizonline-alpha.xooit.com/index.php) Thank you in advance!!! 🙂 ---

There’s a policy of no spamming or advertising. Unless a Mod says it’s Ok. For example if you want to sell cookies to cure cancer that might be allowed to remain open. If RandMcnally really reported it, some people joke about it, then a Mod will be along shortly to make a decision. Can’t look at your game here at work but it the thread is still around later I’ll check it out. ---

We generally like guests the ask permission before spamming us for commercial purposes. ---

This message board doesn’t even allow **regulars** to self-promote their products except under tightly controlled conditions, like getting prior approval from moderators, and posting only in the Marketplace board if it’s sales-related (and you have to have a paid membership for that). They sure as hell don’t approve of people signing up only to flog their product. ---

Hi those who commented so far. Well it’s clear that I asked for help and there is no harm if I posted this thread in several forums (as far as they accept it, of course)to get as much feedback as possible. If I want to advertise for my game I know where to head, So PLEASE if this annoys you in anyway just feel free to delete it. It’s this simple! Thank you! ---

@runner pat: that’s a good way to check. Actually it was used by my teachers to see if we copy paste or not lol
