Heh.. I hadn't seen that one. That one seems to have a LOT more action than my game. My game is kind of like Civilization in space, real time, and where technically you only control one ship, but the things you do create more ships and the area comes alive with ships flying around doing things.
It's hard to describe. I certainly was inspired by a lot of different sources. It is very ALIEN to play. You actually need to play through a few games before you understand it, or perhaps watch my tutorial videos and then play it.
I am addressing that though. Version 6 of the code is based on Multiplayer from the ground up, and it will also have a single campaign (multi-branching) story that will also function as the tutorial.
Nice! I love Civilization, been playing since Civ2 as a kid. I actually like steep learning curves in games. Game like the new Xcom force you to play through a couple time in order to fine tune your strategy as you learn what works and what doesn't. If done right, I think this adds loads of quality replay value. I know that it took me years to really "get" Civilization as a kid and I enjoyed the whole ride. Best of luck with this project!
Well that greenlight game is actually playable. Really the only goal at this point in THAT build would be to try to get the best score you can at the end of the game length, and not have the place be a cesspool.
There is no tutorial really other than some built in help screens in that build... so pretty much just a learn by playing.
Goal = make a good score which is taken from wealth, but also other factors.
Also the games where an alien infestation truly gets going and they start cranking out warships can really crank up the excitement (perhaps frustration for some). :)
I forgot to mention this earlier, but I wanted to introduce you to my friend @jbaker585. He's going to school for digital media technology and game programming:

He's new to Steemit and crypto but I know you two will have a lot in common, and who knows, maybe you guys will make a game together! :)
Cool I added him to my follow list. You never know what might happen. :)
