Pillar4 Entertainment releases demo of Starfall:Frontier

nakuma · November 2010

Pillar4 Entertainment has finally released its first game demo. It's launched on Facebook, and uses the Unity3d Engine (great engine, btw). Starfall Frontier

Over the next couple weeks, we'll be adding in a ton of features, as well as getting the game submitted to Steam. This will be a standalone, playable on PC or Mac. You'll be able to play against everyone, no matter what platform you're on; PC, Mac or Facebook.

Starfall Frontier is a reinvented version of the classic strategy boardgame, Battleship. You place your fleet of starships in a 3 player match and try to locate and eliminate your opponents. Currently, you can also maneuver your ships during your turn to avoid damage. Very soon, you'll also be able to earn new abilities, such as Shields, Radar Scans, Antimatter Missiles, etc. More than 30 different abilities are in the works!

This is our chance to really make a difference in the indie community. Our company is really down to the wire, and we absolutely need to get the word out about this game. So tell your friends, and battle them on your way up the leaderboards!

It's fun and it's free! Jump in, check it out and most importantly, invite your friends! Then, run over to our forums and let us know your thoughts!

Really looking forward to your feedback.
