About Galaxy on Fire™ – Alliances:
While the previous installments of the Galaxy on Fire saga have been action and space combat games, the upcoming Galaxy on Fire™ – Alliances will pursue another direction. In the roles of commanders of the Terrans, Vossk or Nivelians, the players will set course for a hitherto uncharted arm of the galaxy, where they have to conquer planets, build outposts and expand their territory. Since the newfound area is jam-packed with valuable resources and powerful artifacts, the delegates of all three factions are burning to claim it for themselves and become the rulers of this much sought-after domain. But they won’t get far unless they team up with like-minded allies and form an alliance that is powerful enough to hold its ground against the manifold rivals and competitors. Consequently, tactical refinement, diplomatic deftness and effective resource management are invaluable assets in the advancement into unknown space and the take-over of new worlds. After all, a flourishing economy and gainful trading relations grant direct access to stronger technologies. And strong alliances give the players the chance to take on seemingly superior enemies and defeat them in epic battles. The official release of the highly anticipated multiplayer epic on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2013. An Android porting will follow later on.
Galaxy on Fire™ – Alliances is Fishlabs‘ biggest project to date. Right now, about 30 people are working on the title, which is being realized with the company’s proprietary ABYSS® 3 engine and has been in development since mid-2012. Prior to and even after the game’s official launch on the App Store, Fishlabs will keep its fans up to date about all news from the Alliances front via their blog (www.fishlabs.net/en/blog/) and forums (http://forums.fishlabs.net/en/) as well as the official Facebook fan page of the Galaxy on Fire series (www.facebook.com/galaxyonfire). With immediate effect, the registration for the closed beta can be carried out via www.GOFAlliances.com.
