if you all remember a few month ago i presented an idea for a game that has been a dream for me, Well i have given it my all, and would like to share with you an alpha that has bugs and little gameplay but that has a ton more than nothing that was presented with the idea, this will be a text based game upon completion and if you go to the message centre you can try a prototype quest...

You can download the alpha here,
Dropbox.exe Please note this alpha is compiled so you may notice issues.

and if you want help fund it you can here,
clicky

Remember this started as an idea, now we have a working build :D i have given this dream my all, any comment is very helpful and any share of the go fund me page is welcomed.

Sucks all i can do atm is buy buildings and do the test mission. Can't wait to see where this goes.

I love the UI, but the Navigate building blueprints needs to be more prominent. I thought there were only farm, industry and housing buildings till i saw the navigation. I would also love to see the effects of purchasing a building before i actually buy the building. The tooltips at the bottom might not be enough for some.

I assume you know of the following bugs, but i will list them just in case:
Doing the mission or "exploring surface" resets what i bought.
Sometimes clicks do not register. Or you need to make the click boxes a little bigger.
When i click on the info button on things like water, i see the info on the housing. (same for the rest of the items on pages 2 and 3)
When in the building tab, the staff number is offset. Not a biggy.

All in all looking good so far. Good luck with it.

first of all, great feedback.

Yeh im just actually polishing up the blueprints at the moment, If you notice the (i) buttons, you can click them for more info and then their is also another button on that panel that will lead to the archive with a very highly detailed information screen.

Also i will be adding a mouseover description to the icons on each panel, so you can see what they add better at a glance.

Yeh at the moment changing screens, can reset a lot of stuff, this is because i am yet to add in the autosave system, as for the clicks not registering, do you have a general idea of where, so i can look into it, i know sometimes it occurs in buttons with a black bg due to transparency issues.

And yeh the update im working on fixes a lot of the dependencies on the blueprints so everything is unique, i had a lot of code to add :)

Once again Great feedback :D

The arrows for the blueprints, the back button, and a few of the buy buttons have given me problems. Seems to be hit and miss. Sometimes they work, other times i have to click 2 or 3 times to make em work.

5 minutes into your game and you call me a monster? are you Phil Fish?

on feedback i would say, nice job it looks like it could be fun. Although it seems more like a handheld game(better than any AAA handheld version :P).

Looked really great, but very intimidating the second I clicked on the "Buildings" tab on Earth. I, very lazily, exited after staring at the screen for about 30 seconds. However, it looked GREAT!
