Distant Worlds (4x RTS)
« on: March 24, 2010, 03:28:54 pm »
New thread I know, but didn't feel like necroing the old one. Anyway, it's gone gold which means it'll be released via matrix game's online store thursday-friday. DRM free, beta testers totally recommend the game, saying that it's a huge advancement in the 4x genre. RTS, and, of course, 4x.

if you do that, it would save me my money  :D.

The game looks interesting. hopefully combat and such is deep enough to interest me instead of just spamming prebuilt classes or something.


Noone has announced the pricing for the game yet either...

It seems to be single player only from what I can gather.

Is this correct?

or maybe throw them into the large hadron collider to atom-smash them instead.
Not to mention to throw all available animals into tiny pits.

Seems interesting, I'll let you try it out first.

I agree that it looks exclusively single player...  In the feature thread, mentioned no Play By Email...

Yep, they are going the single player heavily-moddable route with it.  New video on the site that shows the gist of the most basic of combat and fleet stuff just went up recently alongside the other various ones.

You can design ships in very much depth, and the cost is estimated at 39.99 USD without extended downlaod service, or a physical hardcopy which (including tax) would run you around 60 USD

Yep Journier, I'm really excited..every week since I posted this here, I had a look at their forums to see how development was going.

I'm going to wait to see how I'll proceed to get this game, the bad news is that their Online Store doesn't list Brazil nor South America to redirect to an online store.
Also, the game is Download Only..

Well. I'll wait and see, since I can't spend too much money now, either.  :-\

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

Sadly Matrix Games doesn't accept Paypal instant transfers, and my CC can no longer be reloaded due to some issues at the finance company :<

I will be waiting on your report.

Hopefully combat is exciting in some way. It looked a little bland but I dont know.
