*Presumably because later on you'll have multiple ships to choose from. Trade with other factions, perform missions. Experience a world where you have have your own story that impacts the universe. You awake in a damaged space station, in a strange solar system populated with other factions that have formed alliances, colonized worlds, and developed new technologies. But overall it's decently fun, I hadn't originally planned to play the whole hour the demo gives you but got drawn into it over the first fifteen minutes. A tragedy on Earth forced humanity to the stars. But this is polish, and something to add in the run-up to the actual release, so hopefully it'll be fine by then.Īnd while I'm on the topic of polish, I'd really like a way to move things rather than needing to destroy and rebuild them every time.
Oh, you first have to select the ship you want to use from the list in the away mission screen, and then you can select the crew to go on it*? That would've been nice to know. It's apparently a "mining" mission, do I need to give one of my crew the "miner" profession? No, wait, there is no miner profession. "Send your crew on a mission to the escape pod to rescue the colonist in it"-ok, but when I click the ship to bring up the away mission interface, I can't select any of my crew or hit the "send mission" button and there's no indication of what I'm doing wrong. It's quite playable, but I feel they really need to sit down and watch a first-time player encounter it-even with the tutorial I had multiple steps where it took me some time to figure out how to do what the tutorial told me to do. I tried it out for a hour today for the first time.
I too backed the original Kickstarter for this game, and ran into the broken Linux demo a day or two ago, so it's good to see that got fixed. They said the choice to limit it based on time was due to the nature of the game as it's a sandbox building experience. Try the demo on Steam now, which is limited to 60 minutes per play which you can repeat. If you love a good building sim and people management, Starmancer is firmly one to keep an eye on. I actually personally backed their crowdfunding campaign so it's good to see them keep up the support. Thankfully it's solved in newer Unity releases. Seems the same confirmed FMOD issue has been tripping up multiple Unity developers lately. They fixed it quite quickly though and now it runs very nicely. Not mentioned in our initial Steam Game Festival post of Linux game demos, as the Linux build was broken. The Spacebase DF-9 we always deserved? Quite possibly. I could see myself spending an entire weekend playing through it quite happily. For a demo of a work in progress game, it's quite remarkable. The idea that your colonists bodies are grown, with their consciousness then downloaded into the body is quite a unique way of presenting such a distant future.
