    Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles to Unite Mobile and Desktop Gamers

    Spacetime Studios has ported their mobile 3D MMO game, Star Legends, to Native Client (NaCl) open-source technology thus enabling PC and Mac players to join Android and iOS players for the first time in gaming history.

    Pocket Legends, Spacetime Studios’ flagship title, was the world's first mobile 3D MMO. It was also the first global, multiplayer game to play across both Android and iOS platforms simultaneously. Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles will break new ground by being the first 3D MMO to allow players on mobile devices to join their friends on computers when it launches on Google Chrome.

    Spacetime Studios worked closely with Google Chrome engineers to bring Star Legends to the Chrome web browser. This game industry milestone was accomplished through the use of the NaCl which allowed Spacetime Studios to run native C++ code inside a sandboxed environment within the Chrome browser. The NaCl supports 3D graphics, stereo audio and local file access which means more advanced games can be created for the browser.

    “This is a significant landmark in the fulfillment of our mission to create a social gaming ecosystem where people play together regardless of device or location,” says Anthony Sommers, Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer, Spacetime Studios. “We’re thrilled that Star Legends will be the first Native Client game released on the Chrome Web Store.”

    Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles is a sci-fi mobile MMO set in a far corner of our galaxy during the 41st century. In this initial Star Legends installment, human privateers travel to the UCS Blackstar, a massive colony ship, to answer the call of fame and fortune. Space-age humans battle against the alien threat known as the Vular, malfunctioning killer bots, and the greed of powerful corporations for resources, power and inter-galactic dominance.

    Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles is the second title in the popular Legends franchise. The first game, fantasy themed Pocket Legends, is the world's largest mobile MMO with over five million downloads. Pocket Legends and Star Legends are both Powered By Spacetime.

    AVAILABILITY
    Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles will be free to download and play from the Chrome Web Store when Native Client support is publicly available. The game features optional microtransactions and virtual currency that can enhance the play experience with vanity items and costumes.

    We are looking at making Star Legends available as a beta test for those with the beta version of Chrome 15, but that is still being worked out with Google.

    I want to play it using Mozilla Firefox.

    Anyway, why does it have to be a browser app? Is that just so you don't have to compile versions for Mac, Win XP, Win 7 x32, Win 7 x64, etc...

    I see - that answers my question from researching the Google Native Client and finding that it is supposed to be available in Chrome, which I'm using. Now to find out when 15 beta may come out...

    Because a browser app does it for all those platforms (and more) in one fell swoop! Plus, it plays very well in Chrome!

    As for Firefox, they don't offer the capabilities necessary - but Chrome does, hence our choice to make it work in Chrome.
