Hello
I heard about Galactic Civilization when I heard about MOO3, but I thought that GC was going to be a cheap game copied on MOO3 (didn,t know the story behind the game at the time). Then, today I have my daily gamespy newsletter and they had an interview with the Grand Master of this project.
I read the entire five page interview, liking it the more I read it. After I read everything and checked out the website of GC and skimming through the forums, I find your game very promising and I can promise that I will get it in some way (Get the original, not a pirated copy. You're game is worth buying, unlike some junk game like MOO3 who is but a shadow of its predecessors.).
I think that the majority of the original features in GV should have been inside MOO3, but they didn't even do half of it. MOO3 has graphics that are dated since the end of 1990s, while yours are pretty recent according to the interview, you made the eye candy at the end (very intelligent on your part. )
I would like to find a way to exchange my MOO3 game for this game. Wish I bought GV instead of that junk MOO3. Although I doubt someone would buy MOO3, even if it's brand neew and has everything with it including the box! :notsure:
Anyways, I will acquire your game as soon as I have the money because now I am totally broke, I don,t even have 5$ or I might ask it for my birthday which is in July, but July seems too far away for someone who was totally left on his appetite for a REAL galactic strategy and management game (e.g MOO3 yuck!).
As soon as I get my hands on my copy, I will post my thoughts about it. I find your idea of making regular updates to the game (not stupid patches) a wonderful idea, and if you do it regularly and for a long time, your game will stay alive... well... forever! Like The sims, which is a game that is still sold at 60$ Can and the game is super old! (Can't wait to play The Sims 2 btw.
) I think The Sims is the only game that lived so long! Can you beat its longevity? I think yes, if you bring out an update every month, even if it's only small things (often, the small things do more than big ones) you should be able to keep you game alive for five years.
Well, that's all for now. If you know a reason why I shouldn,t get the game, tell me, I don't want to get screwed by another company like Quicksilver who made MOO3. (They really screwed their clients.)
