Andromeda Online is a strategic starship wargame. Players design a command crew, pick a stock starship or design their own, and go into battle! And while one-on-one battles are a blast, that's only the beginning! Why play with just one ship when you can command of fleet?! Command an armada of up to 500 scouts, fighters, cruisers, battleships, even space stations! Break them off into fleets and sub-fleets as you scour the galaxy looking for your opponents ships.

Andromeda Online offers unparalleled scalability! Play just one ship against your opponents, or use of fleet! A unique damage based point system ensures that one can use an infinite number of strategies, and still win. Hide in asteroid fields, nebulae were even a deadly plasma storm! Play games with as many as 10 players at a time, make teams and alliances, even play with or against the computer! Design your own crew and ships, offering a micromanagement design for players who are interested, and trade your ship designs online! Or, focus purely on the battle, learn to draw your opponents into hazardous areas, send in micro cloaked fighters, so small and invisible they are nearly impossible to hit! How will you grow your empire? The choice is up to you...

In Attal, you rule Lords and their units. They will earn experience thanks to artefacts, buildings, quests or in fighting other lords. You will also rule some towns and bases that you will be able to develop (in order to produce more armies, better units, ...) and you will manage ressources (mines, pits, factories). For each scenario, you will have a mission to achieve but some other subquests can be proposed during the game. The game will be themeable, in order to manage easily different graphisms, rules, campaigns, etc.

AXIS is a turn based strategy game. It is not a clone, hack, or rip-off of any other game past or present, computer or board, and is a completely original design. Gameplay is based on a randomly generated tile map. The theme is a kind of abstract geometric mix. Many TBS games on the market carry sci-fi, fantasy, or war themes. AXIS is far removed from these and tries to disassociate itself from them. Instead it uses shapes, colors and textures to convey information. The game is won by capturing another side's flag or annihilating all the playing pieces of that player. Possibly other victory conditions can be incorporated as well.

One design goal is to create a game in which you are the strategist not the tactician. You should not have to make every little move. It would be more interesting to give each unit or group a mind of it's own and a set of behaviors to work with, then try to work with them in a more hands off fashion. This concept is interesting but is difficult to implement effectively. However, dealing with the unit's intelligence is part of the strategy of winning. Artificial Intelligence, therefore, should be one of the hallmarks of AXIS
