Next Stop: Early Access in Offworld Dev Journals Offworld Forums

Although I have worked on Offworld Trading Company for over a year now, I still struggle to know how to first describe the game. It’s a game about making money. It’s a game about colonizing Mars. It’s a

Also, I would be very open to ideas for new executives who had powers that break the game in some specific way. We can be very creative here because these powers won't be available in MP AND the AI doesn't need to use them.

Thanks - where would you say the discrepancy is coming from among missions? Do you mean that robotic were easier in general, or that some levels were easier (with only one opponent, maybe)? we'll fix the color issue and the end game text. Mainly, do you feel like the experience was different enough from the main game?

It's been very interesting for me to get a more transparent view of what the AI does! As for moving to something more turn-based, actually, that was one of the rea

Reply to Questions and thoughts from myself and the MomoCon playtester group in Offworld Feedback Offworld Forums

Thanks for the great feedback and questions! - No changing keyboard commands (yet...) - The only terrain types that really "matter" are Ice and Dry Ice. - You can claim a plot using the button next to the number of claims. It can be useful if you want a Geotherm but can't afford it yet. - Colonies founded late get more claims and a shorter delay on the black market. - The ice condensor's big advantage is no power consumption. The dry ice condens
