We already had available payments via Paysafecard, but now we got delivered to our office a lot of prepaid custom paysafe cards. :)

We’ll use these free cards for game promotion and will distribute them wherever we can. Even so they look like good material for collectors. Will anyone have all custom Orion’s Belt cards? :)

Here they are for you to see:

Orion’s Belt is now available in French. We are thankful with the player Valtorian that make this possible, for his work we rewarded him with 9200 Orions!

I’ve just realized that I have 8000 ticks of vacations to spend. That maps to 55 days! We’ve been permissive on the vacations and because of that we have never ending tournaments. It not fair to the majority of players to be waiting that much time because one or two players.

That’s why we’re considering lowering the maximum vacation time to 15 days (2 weeks, 2160 ticks). Players won’t accumulate past that value. Note that the game provides montly free vacations to everyone. The objective is to allow players to take some vacations if they need, without forcing great constraints. But at the end of the day, we need to put all the active players first.

What do you think?

In a previous post we presented the idea for the alliance tasks and it’s management. After struggling hard to have this feature ready here it is. You will probably miss something, this is just the first version, if that is the case send us your opinions so we can do better.

We were checking out the referrals and we noticed that the playbg.com site had made a list for the Top 10 Space Browser Games. And the Orion’s Belt space browser game is right there on the 5th position. :) You can see their page for Orion’s Belt here.

It was just brought to my attention that there are already 5 players on the universe that have completed all the merchant quests! Congratulations to all of them! :)

I honestely tought that it would be harder to complete them. But you know what, now that they have been completed we’ll have to add even more quests. Any ideas are welcome. :)

AD420 suggested a modification to the auction house restriction, and we thought about it and implemented that modification. Now we have the concept of main/primary player and just that player can sell stuff in the auction house. If you want to change the main player you have to be 10 days with the player you want to be the main, without changing players. We think that this system is fairer.

Wow… we’ve just released team tournaments yesterday, and today the tournament has already started! :) Lets see who are the best when it comes to team play. Team play is very young at Orion’s Belt, and there isn’t a way to properly know who’s the best or what tactics are going to be used.

For those that never tried it, here’s an image of a 2 vs 2 battle:

After the mini tournaments, after team management, now we have ready the fusion between this 2 concepts, a mini tournament for teams.

You need to be on a team to participate in this tournament, where you can play with your team mate against other team. When 8 teams are regist in the tournament it will begin.



This blog is about the Orion's Belt Browser Game, a Tactical MMO played on a browser, where all battles are resolved on a board game.

On this blog we'll be discussing our ideas for new developments, fell free to tag along!
