Re: Horizon to be available on Steam Early Access Games

I'm in a bit late with this reaction (Blame OUYA for that)

But Woo! :P

Re: AI, nothing more

Nothing is more important than a challenging AI in turn-based strategy gaming So functionality, stability, ease of use etc. would be detriment unless it has challenging AI? I disagree. I would rather prefer an AI that contain a variety of different algorithms to give me a good opposition experience...

Re: Which platforms will Horizon be on?

Linux is slowly gaining some superior weight and support around it since Steam stepped forward. This was brilliant news to me as I've been a Linux user since 2006. The only issue has been the games compatibility. As good as WINE is getting nowadays to help improve compatibility, I still have to reve...

Re: Suggestion for gameplay ideal

In Horizon your ships can be directed to move anywhere but there are other restrictions such as communication range and supplies range. Ships out of communication range can't be reached in 'real-time' so orders can't be given to them immediately in transit and you can't take manual control or view ...

Re: Woot for the publishing deal and release date!!

**Spams like a lunatic** But seriously though, that would be a great gesture of goodwill considering you wouldn't have to. I think what Devildog is speaking of though is not so much about wanting to just play the game. (But it's a bonus)... I could probably say the same thing as he would and that is...

Re: Which platforms will Horizon be on?

I can see Mac & Linux being a possibility. But that's dependant on which engine is being used and whether it has been considered from the very beginning. Although converting isn't always too difficult. Consoles and Mobile would be extremely doubtful... and as much as I'd love for every game to b...

Re: Suggestion for gameplay ideal

Re: Woot for the publishing deal and release date!!

If it's anything like StarDrive then it'll take a little time. You'll have around 100-250+ people I'd say who set up shop through finding this game on their own accord. A nice tight knit community of earlier adoption faithful like you and me. Then it'll take something like a teaser, a closed Beta wi...

Re: Woot for the publishing deal and release date!!

That's what's brought me here. I'm the chap who's given some 1st impressions Feedback on the official Facebook page. Iceberg encouraged me to direct my constructive enthusiasm (similar to my love of StarDrive) over here. So here I am.. I love a good 4X game I do. The genre sincerely needs another go...
