Earth Doom

Site redesign

I have been working hard on a redesign of the entire frontpage, and have also implemented the game status feature that is already in place. I would love to get some feedback on the site, so please let me know if you have any ideas.
The site can be found here:

Bug reports

I will be working on fixing bugs for the next week/weeks, and I need reports from everyone about what everyone has experienced recently.
So far I have the following list of bugs:

- Invincible BDU
- Population bug
- Medusa can only stay at home

Fundraiser campaign for Earth Doom is live

I have created a new fundraiser campaign for Earth Doom, in order to get more money to invest directly into improving the game as well as advertising for it.
Spread the word, and read more about it here:

Bacup has been restored

Backup has been restored, and ticks will start in the announced time (see the counter on the right side).

Signups are also open again.

Auto reset

The auto reset does seem to be working, but I will be manually checking in 7 days from now, to see what happens. Hopefully this means I will no longer have to manually reset the game.
I have set the default period to 3 week rounds. Let me know if you would prefer a different length.

Testing new auto reset feature

I have implemented the new auto reset feature on the live website, and am currently testing it. There may be some bugs to be corrected before it works 100%

Server issues

There has been some serious server issues lately, as a result I have not been able to do much work on the game recently, so I am planning to implement one or two new features as well as do a reset later this week.

I am also moving the game to a new server.

Beta opens

In order to test out new features more easily without disrupting the running game, I have made a copy of the game on the beta server. You can access it here:

http://www.earthdoom.com/beta/index2.php

Here are the planned features for next round:

0. Automatic reset (already started, showing on front page)
1. New Research Tree (research an additional Fleet)
2. Change so you can kill defensive units. (BDU's)
3. Maybe implement a gambling system. (Example: I can put down a % of my Credits and get anywhere from .5(50%) to 1.5(150%) gains back in the opposite resource)
4. Change the sign up to be more random so continents don't get filled as people sign up.

New features

I have started coding in a few new features, as you can probably already see, you can now see a countdown until next round. This will be combined with an automatic round reset/start functionality.
I will announce more news and features later.

Tick start

Ticks start at 27th of January 18:00 CEST
