Thousand Parsec
- Current server version: 0.3.1 released 11 Nov 2006
- Current client version: 0.2.0 released 12 Dec 2006
Thousand Parsec is a framework for turn based space empire building games.
It is important to understand that Thousand Parsec is not a game by itself, it is a frame work for creating a similar group of games. Some of the games, such as our first demo game MiniSec, are developed by the Thousand Parsec developers themselves. In the near future we hope that other developers will create their own games using Thousand Parsec.
Some examples of games which Thousand Parsec draws ideas from are, Stars!, VGA Planets, Master of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. These games are often called 4 X's from the main phases found in the games, eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. If you haven't heard of them, other games which are a bit similar include, Civilisation, Hero's of Might and Magic and Starcraft.
Thousand Parsec includes everything you need for:
- play any of the currently running games,
- set up your own game using already designed games, and
- building your own space empire building game.
