I know they hate being compared to Godus, but... multiplayer has been the demise of Godus. A massively over-hyped, elaborately described Jupiter-sized blah blah, only when it boiled down to it 22Cans couldn't even get over the most fundamental hurdle of servers and networking. My impression of progress on the Universim is that they're still trying to get its basic core functionality in place, so it seems a little premature to be adding stretch-goals.

Well that's a good response.

Can anyone playing in the pre alpha report on progress? Is the game going anywhere?

I have not played the latest build yet. But between the first and second build I did see improvements. It may be slow going but I am OK with that and really OK that they finally stopped setting streach goals and will use any farther money they get to help progress of what they have planned.

Good to see they're staying true to the original Godus. By being a steaming turd.

Thank goodness they finally cut off add-ons and stretch goals; it was starting to feature creep to the point that its never be attainable. Even now, they already have so much on the slate I'm not sure how they'll ever launch.

Griffork: Sorry for being away for so long. The job I had at the beginning of the year seems to be having a full-blown melt-down (and I got caught in it). I'm now at a new place but the new job has been a very hectic learning experience (yay for being on R&D!) Aug 21, 2024 7:55:26 GMT

Lord Ba'al: He is indeed at it again. I read a few lines from some article saying he took something from this game and something from that game and something from yet another game and put it all together. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:06 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Then it mentioned there was this big hand mouse cursor, and I was like, nah, this will be shit. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:25 GMT

Lord Ba'al: By the way, I closed the whole forum for posting, due to the fact that all that was being posted was spam, but if anyone wants to make a post, I'm happy to open it up again, even if that's maybe just temporarily. Aug 21, 2024 17:36:02 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Or... post in the spammer section, and I can always move it elsewhere
