I have never thought leaving out trivial contribution could lead to CC0...

 

Well, the book could be CC0 it is so simple. Cobwebs are draw with slight opactity, so the background the contains pixels from Sharm's cabinet. Is background pixels still strong enough to keep CC-BY-SA? I do not know.

Yes, they are mine work but I thought those are so trivial so I did not take credit for them.

Thanks! Don't worry I won't stop. Making of this game is interesting and fun!

There are two ways to play. First you need Java to be installed on your machine. Either OpenJDK or Oracle's Java will work fine. Second thing is the get binary. You can use official release from here: https://github.com/tuomount/Open-Realms-of-Stars/releases and direct link for the latest one: https://github.com/tuomount/Open-Realms-of-Stars/releases/download/open-.... Then unzip and goto folder you just unzip. Then run it from terminal with command: "java -jar Open-Realm-of-Stars-0.4.3Alpha.jar" or double click file Open-Realm-of-Stars-0.4.3Alpha.jar.

Second option is to get the source code from Github page: https://github.com/tuomount/Open-Realms-of-Stars and compile it. Easiest way to compile it is using Maven. Just type "mvn install" Then you will get same zip file as release version into folder target. Other option is to use Eclipse but then you have to manually fetch jorbis library for playing the background music.

Please if you try it give some feedback.

There is version 0.4.0Alpha available.

Biggest changes are new musics, new playable race and privateer ships.

Idea is to have each space race own diplomatic music when having diplomacy with them. Currently there are:

New playable race is called Scaurians (https://opengameart.org/content/big-space-dude) is merchant race. It gains one extra credit from trading buildings and 50% credits when doing trade with other player.  Then there are the privateer ships. These can be use to steal cargo of merchant ships. Since these ships cannot be recognized from other player's privateer ships they can be used also for attacking against player whom you have peace or even alliance. So essential they more like space pirate ships. Space privateering in action New version is available in Github:https://github.com/tuomount/Open-Realms-of-Stars/releases

Awesome music!

I am using this in my Space strategy game called Open Realm of Stars as diplomacy music for humans.

Yes, I am will add random events at some point. Main focus at the moment is get base game working and getting more features there. I also keep Github's issue tracker as road map and there are the at least next versions issues open.

I have thinking to add at least some kind of space anomalies floating in map while exploring it. Those could contain new techs, ships, credits or space monsters for example. Also when colonizating new planet there could happen sometimes some random events. But in I think random events should fit just fine game like this since there is no multiplayer and game does not need to be fair.
