First Play through:
Right off the bat I love that I have a little Adam and Eve nugget, not there name but the fact all they are wearing is some leafs. These are not some other gods cast off like another game. The game looks good as you have seen from the pictures and the demo. The tutorial is OK and tells you everything you need. I did notice one typo so far. It ask you to gather resources but part of the message is cut off. It tells you to gather some wo. The next message lets you know once you have 20 wood and stone you can build a hut. So I set my guys off gathering. Once you have them it says build a hut and gather some food. OK Set a house builder. A pile of rocks with a stick pops up. Is that a hut? I guess so. OK Now to send some one to gather food and off takes Eve. Where is she going I had picked a site beside water , for fish? with some stone and trees near by. I follow Eve as she runs off across the planet, pass some fruit tress, past a couple wolves. Oh look winter is setting in and she is now half way across the planet and running around a lake. Oh now she has stopped to fish? OK Now I have to wait for them to make some kids. I wait 5 min and one is saying they are starving. OK I think this game is bugged let try this again.
Play through two:
OK this time I pick an area with some stone trees and fruit trees. I plop down my epicenter. OK start them gathering stone and trees. OH crap eve is cutting down a fruit tree, so much for gathering that. Oh wait logs and a fruit basket drop. Maybe they can gather that. OK I start the house and food gathering. There are the piles of stone and stick again. Oh eve can gather those baskets so I do not loos the food for cutting down a fruit tree. I have food now look Adam and Eve go into the epicenter *bowwow chick-a-ah bowwow* Out pop to kids and Adam and Eve. The kids quickly grow up, pre-alpha time they say. Set them to help build some more huts oh look after about 5 min the pile of stones and sticks turn into a little stone hut. So the building is not on pre-alpha time. OH there go Adam and Eve into the hut again. Wait the kids are joining them? This is kind of wrong. I look to the corner and see the message(Disclaimer This is the default message but the timing was funny) "This was so much more fun with 2 people." So the family had a nugget orgy?
I forget what exactly set it off, thinking back I think the hut did not pop till after the village grew a little more and most of the action may have been going off in the epicenter. But I finally got message saying I had made a advancement and I could research techs now. I click on the option and it explained a little about the research. It did reference a different tech from what I had discovered. I selected a tech and started researching. I did not notice you could cue up more then one at a time at first. Also they did not explain the icon that appears up in the corner. It seems to be what you are currently researching/ what you have finished researching. It does not differentiate between the two yet. If you click it and it is finished it disappears if not it stays there. OK been another 10 min how do I build these buildings I have researched. It said in the beginning that projects take priority over houses. Clicking around on the different buttons to see what they do a lot do not activate yet. OH this one pops up some option. Oh look there is the storage I research and a couple other options. So I pop down a couple of buildings. Then I had to stop.
Final option so far:
The game looks great. It runs well. I only say one visual glitch, a single hexagon of water was missing in the first build. The world did change in the second build and I did not have any terrain issues. There is a few issues here and there but it is pre-alpha so I will not hold it against them. I am sure they will add the ability to mouse over buildings so you know what they are and add progress bars for buildings. So far I like it a lot.
