Proposal for a Fan-made Stargate game
Hi all. I've been watching SG-1 and Gateworld.net for several years now and I finally decided to join the forum.
Another interest of mine is Escape Velocity: Nova, a Shareware game for PC and Mac. The player flies around in a starship and joins one of several races of humans. Each race has a unique storyline and ships. EVN's distributor encourages modders to make plug-ins, even to the point of making total conversions that bear only a small resemblance to the old game.
About a week ago, someone on a BBS suggested starting a Stargate TC. Since then we have gone through a few ideas. If you're interested, you can read the whole discussion here. This is our latest outline: (some of this will seem pretty obvious to you, since I wrote it for EVN fans)
The Asgard will definitely appear, but will probably not have their own storyline.
Any comments or questions? Keep in mind that the game is played entirely in space.
EDIT: Is this something you would consider playing?

The TC will be set in the parallel universe featured in Point of View, (PoV universe) sometime after that episode. Most parts of that universe will be just like the universe of "Stargate SG-1," but there are some differences:
- The SGC is called the SGA. I don't remeber what the "A" stands for. By the time of the TC it has probably evolved into a larger, more public form.
- Teal'c never turns against Apophis. He is killed in the attack on Earth.
- Dr. Samantha Carter never enters the military. It is she, not Dr. Jackson, who figures out how the stargate works.
- Jack O'Niell marries Dr. Carter. He later dies defending the SGA from the Goa'uld.
- Major Kawalsky is alive and commands SG-1
- SG-1 does not experience Thor's hammer, and so never becomes aware of the Asgard until PoV.
- In PoV, Apophis attacks Earth. Carter and Kawalsky come to our universe to ask for help. SG-1 calls the Asgard of that universe, who remove the Goa'uld.
- Since the Goa'uld attack every major city, it is safe to asume that the entire world knows about the stargate program.
At the begining of the EVN
G, the player has a choice of which group to join:
Tau'ri: The humans of Earth. They have several colonies and a defensive fleet.
Goa'uld: Start as a minor Goa'uld and conquer through might and treachery until your territory rivals Ra's at the hieght of his power.
Jaffa: Serve your god, but is he really all powerful? Lead a rebellion against all Goa'uld to overthrow them.
Tok'ra: You can't start as a Tok'ra, but you can join them from either the Tau'ri or Goa'uld plots. Either way, you'll have to figure out where your loyalties lie: your former people or you new people?
There are also other races that may or may not be playable:
The Aschen Confederation: The Goa'uld and the Aschen are brushing territory, forcing the Aschen to build conventional weapons.
The Hebridians: a mixed-species spacefaring race. The tensions between humans and Serrakin must be overcome if they are to defend themselves from the Goa'uld.
