I don't remember if I ever posted about Event Horizon on here, but in case I didn't, EH is a simple 4X game developed by Nick Dumas (Suicide Junkie) and myself. You've got a hex grid of sectors from which you can mine resources, and your ships are constructed of only four components: Hull, Thrusters, Weapons, and Shields. I've got some screenshots and downloads here:

Well, Nick and I are working on a sequel! Very Happy

Event Horizon 2 will be much more detailed than EH1, and we're starting out by building a hex-based ship designer and a turn-based tactical combat game, then building the strategic layer around it. We've got a mostly functional ship designer, and Nick said he'd be working on tactical combat this weekend. (Last I heard on Friday, he had combat mechanics working, but no GUI to issue commands.)

I've got some screenshots of the game linked at the bottom of the EH page I linked above, and Nick has some more on his site:

I've also started work on a web GUI using Javascript, so eventually you could actually play directly from the website! Very Happy
