Still Fresh
Last week I got a nice Mail from Phil Hassey, asking me kindly to rename my game, because there was some confusion about my title "GALACON COMMAND" and his game "GALCON".
Since I have no good idea myself, I need some help from you.
So I decided to make a NAMING CONTEST!!!
To get some inspiration, here are some links:
Videos and images
third gameplay video on youtube
some related concepts
Original Thread
If you have Photoshop skills, here (title_psd_and_font.rar) is the title image to experiment with.
The winner will get the latest alpha version of the game per mail (win32/linux, openGL 2.0 needed).
Thanks for your help...
EDIT:
I think I let this run for a week or so.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT2:
copied from a post below:
Thank you folks for all your efforts, but I just cant decide for now, so YOU ARE ALL WINNING !!!
Here is the ALPHA VERSION 0.02 (*.zip file).
Here is the ALPHA VERSION 0.02 (*.rar file).

1.0 ALPHA NOTES:
This is a very early version of the game so don't expect something like a
"game", its more like a concept/tech demo. There are some serious A.I.
glitches and the controls are not final. There is no campain or story and I
excluded the map editor from this version. Ah, and the sound is not
implemented jet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 CREDITS AND RELEASE INFO:
This demo was created by Felix Weißig (all rights reserved) and will be
released for openPandora if it is done. The game will be free, YES FREE!
But there will be a possibility to donate to this project, YES DONATE!
The final openPandora version will be postcardware so if you like the game
you can send me a postcard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcardware).
There will be versions for linux, macos and even windows for a little fee.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
SYS: WIN32 or Linux/wine
CPU: > 1.2 GHZ
GPU: openGL 2.0, no shaders required for this version
If you are not sure if your gfx-card supports openGL 2.0 look up for
it on wikipedia or the developer page.
Don't even try the game on "intel 945" or ATI RADEON < 9700.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.0 HOW TO PLAY THIS NAMELESS GAME:
4.1 LOAD OR CREATE A MAP:
If you start the game, the (no-) title screen appears. Since this is a very
early version of the game, there is no menu or anything.
Press the keys "1" to "9" to load a level. OR, you can create a random level
by pressing "c". Random levels are often very unfair so press "c" until you
find a good one.
If you have loaded or created a map/universe press the "SPACE" key to start
the game. You can pause the game any time by pressing "SPACE" again.
4.2 PLAY THE GAME:
You are the green player. Select your planet by left-click on it.Your planet
is producing ships. Send the ships to other neutral or enemy planets to
conquer them. To conquer a planet you have to send at least the number of
ships on your target planet +1. You can send ships simply by selecting one
of your planets (left click) and right-click on a target planet. With this,
you will send 1/3 of the ships of this planet to the target planet.
DO NOT SEND TO MUCH OF YOU SHIPS to conquer a planet. The enemy will see
your weak defense and attack immediately!
