Vortex Wars

Something changed recently and the game loads a lot faster. Not sure what you did, but before it took long enough to load that I could see each individual hex filling up one by one and now they all seem to fill right away and you are quickly at the login screen.

Suggestion: when the new game is officially released, naming it Vortex Wars: Reloaded or something. I feel as though naming it Vortex Wars 3 or 2.5 would off-put potential players due to being called a sequel.

That particular name makes it sounds like it's about guns. Good idea though.

It's actually a great name idea because former VW players will know what it is, while new players may be drawn by the fact that it seems like a shoot-'em-up. Best of both worlds!

It'd work the other way. People not wanting to play a shooting game would dismiss it. Also, some people expecting a shooting game would not want to play a risk-type game.

Vortex wars: Deluxe maybe?

If Beaver says he would consider using the naming scheme, I will create a topic to help brainstorm some creative names. I would say keep the suggestions until he says otherwise.

I would consider using a different name than Vortex Wars 3 if we find the right one.

The html5 client was updated today. It has all of the Kongregate integrations the flash client did, so in a couple days when I am sure there are no new bugs I will update Kongregate. If you have a large monitor, or use Cinematic Mode, it will use the extra space to show more of the map. There are also a few bug fixes.

I've decided to wait a week before updating Kongregate, since this week I won't have enough time to fix any problems that come up from the update.

Im excited. maybe rename it to Vortex Wars Evolved or some random cliche that is still better than 2.5 or whatever?
