It seems like there's a lot of cool simulation going on underneath the surface, but I'm not sure how to interact with it currently. None of the buttons seem to do anything, possibly because I'm not sure what I'm doing. My resources seem to go up, but I can't figure out how to make a colony. I look forward to the post-compo version, when you have time to make a tutorial!
I now have a post compo version out which finalizes the science and galaxy systems so it is not all thrown at you at once. If you have any other confusions while playing it please post it here and I'll improve it in the post compo version.
Perhaps this game is a testament to why clear instructions are of vital importance. Most seem unsure of how to use this game, and I must claim a place among them. I'll come back in a few days and see if there's another version.
Also, I don't know if this is in the post-compo version, but the button in the ores menu says 'Black' rather than 'Back'.
I'll work on some better instructions tonight, I do think the spelling mistake is in the Post-Compo version. Thanks for your feedback.
When I first saw this game on the listings I exclaimed "Fuck yeah!"
Sadly, it seems the game isn't all there yet. The buttons don't seem to do much and it isn't clear what's what. A complex game like you're going for needs a streamlined UI and everything to be well explained, so as to avoid confusing and alienating newcomers.
It's sad that this is highly unfinished as I really love Europa Universalis. Will check back for a more advanced version though!
