It took some time to port the game from the original XBOX 360 platform onto the PC. We didn’t want to simply push the game onto the PC platform, but deliver a fully working, PC-optimized version of the game. So these are a few points we’ve changed for the PC version:
– Fully customizable keyboard controls
– Mouse-optimized game menus
– New graphics style
– Higher resolution textures
– Free choice of display resolution
– Integration of the LittleIndie online platform
The development of Solar Struggle began in 2008 by hobby game developer Sascha Kemper. In 2009, after a display of the game at the newcomer area on the German G.A.M.E. association booth at the Games Convention in Leipzig, z-software took care of the project. In 2010, the involvement of Z-Software helped the game to reach our own high-set quality mark for a release on the XBOX Live Indie Games platform. For 400 Microsoft Points, the game was one of the highest in quality and largest in scale ever released on XBOX Live Indie Games. In August 2010, during the gamescom in cologne, the game was finally published on the XBOX Marketplace. It was showed at the public booth of our partner redspotgames, where interested gamers from all over the world could get a glimpse at the game.
In the following months, z-software worked on a spin-off of Solar Struggle, named Solar Struggle: Survival. It released in January, 2011, for 80 Microsoft Points on XBLIG. It featured an evolved version of the original skirmish mode of Solar Struggle, but without the 11 missions-long main storyline.
Now, after nearly two years of being busy with other projects, z-software recently release the original Solar Struggle game for the PC platform today. It will be exclusively launched at the LittleIndie game distribution platform.
