Not really an Adventure Game but very addictive.
Nova Trade is a futuristic commodity trading game. You are put in charge of a Trading station that floats around in space. The aim is to make money and keep your popularity up. The higher your popularity the more customers you have and the more money you make. You have to buy stock from one of the dealers or from the black market and then trade with your customers. You will also be able to add a food court to your station where aliens can come and spend their money. There is also the constant threat of giant space pirates that want to destroy the station and it is your job to take them out. - There is a lot more to it but it is still in production.


- graphics 45%
- scripting 65%
- music/sound 50%

Screen Shots:


The Station, the little space ships land on the station's parking bay when you have a customer.

the food court... it is far from complete, the more customers you have , the more aliens will be in the room

the "Dealers" and "Customers" windows.. this is where you buy stock and sell it to the customers.

giant space pirate, you will have a number of ways to defend the station agains it.

There is a cool Scroling Starfield background that you cant see on the screenshots.
Still a lot of work to do on the graphics. And the gui will look a bit different when it is done.
Some better screen shots comming later.
Thanx Akatosh

Looks rather interesting ...

Please find hosting (for your screenshots) that allows you to post them directly into this thread.  (there are threads throughout these forums for hosting)  This isn't a "lockable" offense though, just a courtesy so we don't have to click away to view them!

Also ... the second screenshot appears to be a menu screen?  Given the type of game I think this is okay ... but another in-game shot would be appreciated as well!

Good luck with the game.

Until you fix that issue, I've uploaded them to photobucket here and here. Also, you may want to save them as .png files in the future, .jpg does horrible, horrible things to pictures like that.

Anyway, this looks promising!
