Game progress
A week has passed since big announcement of opening SteemNova project for Steemians. By that time there were about 50 players in the game. Right now playerbase consists of 173 contestants!
Still @barbarossastudio holds the first place in the ranks. His alliance gathers more and more members..
GitHub grows
As You can see SteemNova repository is living. It was updated by README simple documentation and LICENSE usage. Some people already fork it and contributed also.
First bugs solved
Game engine was taken as a continuous project of 2Moons framework. However the game engine works fine, there are still some UI issues. Thanks to @mys and @fervi, some of them were fixed in last days.
The most annoying bugs were cancelling building and research in queue. Players were unable to do so because PHP error happens. They were stuck until the running process is done. Both fixed!
There were some issues with date and timestamps in whole game also. Build and research ending times were inaccurate, the messages in mailbox were showing actual time always :O Seems like there were some float parsing errors. Today @fervi updated server with proper solutions.
SteemNova Board
Players lack the central place to commute together. @steemnova account reserved /f/steemnova subforum at chainbb.com. It is Steem blockchain based forum by @jesta. Every post with starting tag #steemnova will appear as new topic there. It is the best place to write announcements about game, articles, guides and long discussions.
Some Steemians already posted few articles in the blockchain.
Discord channel
For quick chatting a SteemNova Discord community was created. Here people can interact between themselves in real time. There were created thematic channels about game concept, diplomacy, trading, contributions and secret alliances rooms.

This week the payouts system will be present public, so that first payments could occur proceeding next week. For now it is known that best alliances in the game will be rewarded. Rewards will come from @steemnova weekly post SBD earnings and shared between players in top teams.
By that time keep growing Your empires and try to create as much allies as You can. The enemies could appear all at once!
awesome game ! I still play it since that announcment
Nice. I havent been very active in it but I will continue to watch. I'm guessing most the team is coders, but I hope we can get a writer on that FAQ at some point. It... it could be better.
Speak for yourself, I'm awful at writing. ;)
But I agree, some things should take priority. Is the game close enough to ogame where I can get a general idea from their guides? I got hopelessly lost once I started unlocking fleets.
The game is 90% ogame. It differs only in minor details.
Great to hear about progress!
I'll try to find some time to help with backend development, already found some little i18n bugs.
