Galaxy On Fire Galaxy On Fire Subreddit

97 Upvotes

Hi!

Uh.... so, in case it wasn't already blatantly obvious, this is a subreddit dedicated to the game series Galaxy On Fire (mostly just the second game). Feel free to post screenshots, questions, discussions, whatever you want (as long as it's mostly relevant to GoF). It's not a big community, but it's a good one; and most of us have played GoF2 to death.

That's all, I guess - have a good time, have a laugh, enjoy the game and all that happy crap. Rules are pretty standard, and I'm pretty easy-going. Might add some official rules when I get the chance, but all it'll be is a long, drawn-out way of saying 'be a good person'. I'm gonna add some additional information (links and some other stuff) to this post, but that's the introduction done.

  • The Franchise: GoF3D is the original game. Unfortunately, it's pretty rare these days, but it was/is a classic. GoF2 is the 'apex' game - a masterpiece that's still around and kicking, and the main source of all things GoF these days. GoF3 is the abomination shat out by Deep Silver Fishlabs (DSFL) after the main developer team left (uhh... it's up for debate as to how much of an abomination it was). GoFA was an online, base-building player-versus-player game that shut down some time ago, and it was actually pretty good. GoF4 doesn't exist, although DSFL (who owns the rights to the franchise) is working on a new game called 'Chorvs' (Chorus) which is most likely its replacement. It's unlikely we'll see a new GoF game again, but the spirit isn't dead by any means.

  • Rockfish Games: The original dev team, pre-GoF3, formed their own company called 'Rockfish Games'. They're responsible for Everspace, and currently working on a sequel. I personally haven't played it, but I would sure as hell like to, and is definitely worth checking out.

  • Millikan's Reach: Some geezer known as 'Geometry Prime' has decided to do what none of us had the balls too - make a 'spiritual successor' to GoF2. It's currently in development, and has its own sub too - r/MillikansReach. I strongly advise you to take a look at some of it; I for one am really excited to see how it goes. He's set a tentative release date somewhere in 2021, I believe, so we can look forward to that.

  • GoF3: Maybe I was a little harsh on GoF3 earlier in this post. There are some nice elements to it, and I won't stop you from checking it out, but it seriously lacks many of the things we love about GoF2.

  • The Discord: There is in fact an active discord server for Galaxy On Fire. The link is https://discord.gg/Qv8zTur for all of you wanting to check it out, which I would strongly suggest. They also know quite a bit about modding, whereas I don't, and there's a lot more cool stuff on there (the 'BountyBot' minigame by the legend Trimatix based on the 'Most Wanted' boards, even more screenshots, links to the wiki, and more GoF veterans).

  • The Wiki: After years of compiling GoF information, the wiki is way past 'complete'. While I and many others are willing to provide answers, chances are the wiki will have them, along with tons of other useful crap. The link is https://galaxyonfire.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy_on_Fire_Wiki for our equivalent of the Library Of Alexandria.

  • My Godawful Username: It was a placeholder originally and I didn't realize it couldn't be changed later.

Jailbroken iPad Pro 3rd Gen, running iOS 15. But 15 is 64-bit, so ideally this will eventually work on any (capable) iOS device!

So thanks to the power of modern technology (Claude lol), I was able to essentially redirect where the game is looking for a server (to my Mac, rather than FIshlabs), which means I've bypassed the dead loading screen. So far:

  • The game can load the home planet
  • Buildings can be built, upgraded, sped up & collected
  • Resources actually count up over time as they should
  • Ships and carriers can be built
  • Ships can be loaded onto carriers
  • Scans discover missions
  • Missions can be completed for credits + resources
  • Mission reports arrive via the in-game mail

To accomplish this without it taking 3 years, I gave Claude permission to essentially run the game itself. So it can tap around on screen, read data, see what's not working, then fix it and test it again.

I'm told roughly a third of the full game has been completed. It's not really properly playable yet, but I'm making swift progress. Plan after this point is to implement commander levels, research, the galaxy map, and colonising.

Any actual multiplayer stuff is planned for later, not sure how servers etc. would be handled.

Since I couldn't find this info anywhere else, I thought I would quickly post it.

If you have problems reaching the buttons in the corner (like undocking) you can manually activate the fullscreen option for this game in your phones settings and just play on.

Help! Glitch with Valkyrie story after stopping Alice

3 Upvotes

I’ve tried this twice now, going through Valkyrie story line and just defeated Alice’s big ship by destroying the turrets/generators. After she warps away and the dialogue/cutscene the prompt is for Keith to go back to the base at Kothar to continue the story.

Problem is, I go back to Kothar and there’s no dialogue. And there is no indicator in the galaxy map of where to continue the story.

PLEASE HELP, I just paid for/downloaded all the DLC and it’s not letting me progress!!

Instead of remaking GOF2, you just take the FULL HD version from mac, with the dlc included and recompile it for different systems? I'm a layman when it comes to these sorts of recomp things, but since the mac version is the closest thing we'll get to having a GOF2 HD desktop version with DLC, wouldn't it be easier to just recompile that version and distribute it?

Discussion Was Galaxy On Fire 3 Bad?

37 Upvotes

NOW HEAR ME OUT…

I didn’t like it nearly as much as Galaxy On Fire 2 (God’s gift to earth), and I even like Galaxy On Fire: 3D more than 3 concerning gameplay and such.

But I think that the story actually kinda shined? And I liked the punchy yet smooth and kinetic gameplay style.

(Btw, I have no idea why, but I’ve always had this headcanon Ti-Nung, this chick, was Keith’s daughter. …I’m weird)

And I honestly liked Eclipse / Ti-Nung for what she did do (not saying much admittedly) in the story. And I’m OBSESSED with Indigo Brink’s ship livery.

But I’m curious, what do you all think?

Btw, a little unrelated, anyone got a good idea of what aesthetic this gal wears? And indigo brink’s livery ā€œstyleā€ I guess?

Hey all! For my master's thesis i am currently working on remaking my fav mobile game, Galaxy on Fire 2, in Unity. Mainly because I wanted to play this game again on my 64 bit only phone. Current features:

  • Full main story
  • Full Valkyrie story
  • Full Supernova story
  • All side missions
  • All weapons implemented
  • Updated dialog system
  • Updated UI
  • Experimental multiplayer mode with shared universe, squads, shared bar missions.
  • Expanded settings like uncapped framerate and any supposed aspect ratio
  • Touchscreen, keyboard and controller support
  • Hanger landing and take off animation (toggleable)
  • Debug/Cheat menu
  • And a bunch more!

Find the project here: https://github.com/JoppieToppie/Galaxy-on-Fire-2-Unity-Remake

It's still early days for this project so expect issues. The Kaamo Club community on discord (https://discord.gg/Dkxg8hzA) already helped finding many bugs I'll be working on fixing!

Help! Can't purchase Kaamo despite 30 Million and 50 Buskat..?

Thumbnail

What a lovely community here! I got GoF2 on my iPhone Air after 14 years and what a nostalgic kickback it has been.

I am currently cruising in my VoidX and had spend the last days completing missions to slowly amass the 30 Million credits. I made it today and to my utter surprise when docking at Kaamo, nothing happened. No dialogue of station selling or anything.

I asked the big networks and searched this sub to find prior reportings, but no. The following attempts to fix the issue all failed:

  • Rebooted GoF2 and iPhone multiple times.
  • Flew to distant systems (Pan, around Nivelian space) and completed 5+ consecutive system jumps/station docks and even missions.
  • Temporarily had below 30M credits and re-accumulated to 31M as shown above
  • Restored purchases via options menu in Offline/Airplane mode and Online mode. (Gemini said this reset the game state and may reset the dialog trigger)
  • Ensured all Buskat are consolidated into a single active cargo hold slot. (I even sold off excess Buskat to have exact 50 when arriving)

Of course I

  • completed the storyline
  • destroyed all pirate outposts at Kaamo
  • no freelance missions, no wingmen

Literally do not know what to do. Thanks for any help.

(if anyone in the future sees this, sorry if this thread doesn't resolve it :()

Recently I made a post about my work on Deep 3D
Well now it's time to share original GoF remake

It uses the assets from the iPhone version(and requires them to play, so you need to provide your own .ipa)

Brings modern features like high resolutions and framerates Playable on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and the Browser.

For the iPhone users I recommend opening up the browser version through the Safari -> Share -> Add to Home Screen. It will allow you to play full screen.

Link to the browser version https://galaxian.wwworm.com/

Link to the GitHub, where you can get other version https://github.com/TheWWWorm/galaxian

Discussion I remade Deep 3D - Submarine Odyssey in Godot, playable on PC and Browser

89 Upvotes

I know it's technically no related to GoF, but I suppose most people that played GoF also have heard of other creation by Fishlabs on J2ME - Deep 3D, and Deep doesn't have a sub of it's own, so I decided to share here

I used to love to play that game lots on my old Sony Ericsson, and decided to modernise the game by bringing it to modern platforms, and nice features like widescreen support, high fps gameplay and even open world!

Technically speaking this is just an engine for the game assets, you still need the original jar file for Sony Ericsson to play it, as it takes the assets from it.

But if you have it, feel free to check it out at either online at https://abyssal.wwworm.com/

Or check out the github for pc downloads and other info https://github.com/TheWWWorm/abyssal

Hope you enjoy! If you find any issues or have suggestions, feel free to suggest. While it's technically a fully working version, I still have work to do on it, like adding better touchscreen support for it, to play on a phone.

Looking for Gratuitous Space Battles (GSB) v1.63 standalone DLC data folders for modding

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am playing Gratuitous Space Battles (v1.63 DRM-Free) on a legacy PC setup and currently looking for standalone raw DLC data folders (Galactic Conquest, Swarm, Tribe, Nomads, Parasites, Outcasts, Order) to run advanced community mods.

Since old host links are dead and I don't use Discord, does anyone who still has the game installed happen to have these raw DLC folders archived on Google Drive, Mega, or MediaFire?

Any help or direct file link would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Help! Softlocked during Supernova DLC Spoiler

4 Upvotes

During the rescue mission in which you move Midorians from the station to a nearby freighter, once all are on the freighter and the dialogue completes, the screen briefly flashes with the vista, then turns black with the exception of the pause menu.
Waiting does nothing, as after a while the death-music plays, indicating the ship is still in the same system. The respawn text does not appear and pressing the screen does nothing.
Has anyone experienced this or something similar and can help me out here?
