After the initial 5 hours I played the game, I might be a tad addicted, I finally had my nice fleet with two frigates and several of everything else. Now at this point I was thinking of how to save as I had not watched the tutorial, now there is a certain button in the game that you should not push, I dared it and paid the price. That button was apparently my kryptonite as it without mercy destroyed my entire fleet. This was also before I realized that saving took place in the Load menu, I don't know if its just me but I didn't find it until after I found that button and the button was too tempting. I'll miss you frigate.... Oh well I'll just have to get another fleet together! I don't know if you are going to update the prototype at all but if you happen to, changing the load tab to a save tab could be a help, though I don't think it will matter if there are no new players. Anyway the Prototype as I should be calling it, not a bad mistake in my opinion as it is already better than quite a bit of priced games out there, has been tons of fun and i'm even more exited for what the polished game will be. Keep it up Josh!!!

PS I might have provoked that button.

Thanks Sky, I'm very sorry to hear about your fleet...dangit, I thought it would be enough warnings to deter people

As for changing the load button to load/save...will do!!

I believe I know the button, and I saw the warning for the button...but I pressed the button and it did nothing!

Then you have not pressed the button ;|

Fixed

I've found two buttons, one gives you a warning the other does not. The non-warning one probably should go through the whole color range?

Does this mean I have another button to hunt for? Hmmm. Not sure if I should be happy or sad or frustrated (or some combination of all three)?

Don't look for the button, it causes naught but pain and suffering. Still a nice addition though and I am known to leap before I look Josh so don't worry about my fleet. I'm thinking about actually making some videos of me building my fleet back up again.

Please do! I also didn't give enough money to get the prototype, so I'm still waiting for someone to do a clever YouTube series on life in LTP.

Working on the first episode as we speak.

Hey is your channel "40jmr" on YouTube? I just searched for "SkyFligher" on YouTube and it showed me that channel.

Surprised you found it yes thats mine, tomorrow I will start uploading in full HD. I just need to keep working with the sound so it doesn't blast your ears off.

Hey Josh is there any way we could have a video forum where we could post links to videos as my first one is currently uploading as I speak, thought it will be a while due to DSL.

If anyone is still on this thread my first video is out on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLw_JdT-SIs, and my second video is currently uploading.

The mods are maintaining a topic where people can post their video's.
I think yours is already mentioned.
