Forum Overview :: Offworld Trading Company :: Re: Well, that was vaguely intelligible

[quote name="pinback"][quote name="serial malcontent"] Now I know what happens in the game. [/quote] Alright! Makin' progress! [quote]What other games does it vaguely resemble in terms of visuals? Is it like an updated alpha centauri with graphics of a level of quality compared to civ 5?[/quote] It's a real-time economic simulator, so it's unlikely to get compared to any turn-based 4X games. Also, all of the graphics and UI are currently bare-bones placeholders (which is why we can't post screenshots) so it's too early to answer that question. [quote]Is the music good? Grating? Is the music awful?[/quote] (See above re: bare-bones.) No music. There is very little glitz/glamour yet. [quote]Are there annoying aspects of the interface that begin to expose a flaw in UI design after playing the game for a while?[/quote] (See above re: bare-bones.) The interface is placeholder, though after a few games it's "good enough". But it will likely change dramatically before release. [quote]Shit like that goes into helping someone grasp the user experience in playing this thing.[/quote] All of the graphics, sounds, and UI are placeholders. I cannot answer those questions. I can just answer how the game plays out (see previous post) and whether I think it's fun or not (yes). [/quote]
