Maybe it's two AI personalities glitched together? I'm not really sure what they're trying to do either although it is giving me a Hotline: Miami feel.

I think it would bother me less if there were... anything else like it associated with glitch. At all. Anywhere. It seems like the logic had to have been "We used all the sensible ideas already.... uh, one of them rides a robohorse, so just slap some tits on a horse and call it a day."

I'd have thought some kind of cyber brain, or maybe a royal portrait, would be the obvious choice.

Right now farming sounds exceptionally dull and very Facebook-esk

I really hope they get more ideas as to how to spruce it up... Harvest Moon it up!

Keep in mind this is the very first preliminary look at the first round of changes for (what's supposed to be) an entire game mode that should get you through all 10 sectors. I am curious if there will be overlap between "skill specializations". The builder rent-charging path and farming for pixels path could combine into something like what you're after, which would suit me pretty well I think.

As is, I would certainly sell excess crops for cash just to have more income.

Right now their current idea is there will be just 2 sectors or possibly just 1.

They really go back and forth on that one a lot.

10 sectors of progression on a single map, with a second map for "Sector X" that's the hostile top-end collaborative PVP. That's the one that I've most recently heard more than once, though as with everything else something shiny can come along and provoke a mid-stream 180.

I hope this isn't the future universe where all plant life has been reduced to GMO terminator gene-bearers so you have to buy each and every seed from a supplier.

How else are you going to be able to tell its supposed to be a female anthropomorphic horse with the limited amount of detail small two dimensional sprites can give? It's clear that they chose a horse because that's probably the only other method of travel Glitch are familiar with aside from sailing ships, and you can't exactly make the avatar of a spaceship a sailing ship without being comically obtuse, so they chose to give the soul of their ship the shape of that mixed with themselves. As for why it's female, ships have generally always been referred to as she. I'm assuming the Glitch do have sailing ships so they probably have a similar tradition.

As per that, why not complain that all the races are bipedal humanoids? Why is everyone fixating on the breasts? Freud would probably have a field day. It's not like this is or ever was meant to be hard sci-fi. Its simply the simplest easiest way to convey gender at a glance in such a limited media

*points at ten foot tall helmets covered in eyes* What did you expect from the Glitch? Something sensible? They're a race of malfunctioning robots that think they're in HAMLET for crying out loud.

I'd expect something more in line with their theme, like a portrait of a Queen or something.
