I agree the tutorials suck and only the 4th mission has any value (to test and experiment) but thats only viable if you plan on playing pvp.
You people are tiring to even see.
You release a theory and investor project for the public and then you slap early access on it, pathetic. Early access was never that at first.
I'm simply disappointed considering the trailer showed things firstly misinformative and secondly things that could come in this game YEARS down the line.
Early Access should mean a playable game.
Do i need to remind you the state this game came out ? I can't even play right now, there isn't even skirmish, I'm not going to say anything regarding performance as i haven't played since some patches ago, but yeah. I bought this game to play it in the first place, not do 4 sloggish "tutorials" and come back next year.
Early Access does not guarantee which state of development the game is in. It doe not mean "demo" or "almost finished" like so many people seems to believe.
The acknowledgement screen, version number (dev-0.2.0), and the lack of modes should really have clewed you in that what you're playing is a very early build of the game.
This game is not Planetary Annihilation. It's Industrial Annihilation. They're tackling something that has to do with heavy data organization, indexing, logistics, and search optimization, something they likely have little to no experience with since those elements were hardly present in PA. It's a whole different ballpark and doing it efficiently is a time consuming process.
PA was a fairly original idea for the RTS genre- being able to go between planets and even crash them into each other to cause devastating, game-changing damage. That being said, the technology was hardly groundbreaking. Don't get me wrong, I loved PA, but it's not extraordinary.
What I understand the least is how many people are so angrily comparing this to PA and calling this a 'scam like PA', but they had to have backed or bought the game in order to post a discussion about it. If PA was a scam, why buy IA in the first place? Just to be able to complain about it? Some people are unbelievable.
tl;dr If you're going to spend money on an incomplete game without doing the research to understand just what exactly you're spending your money on, then you're going to get something you might not have expected. End of story.
you can arg about a completly diferent game but not about details .
i buyed planetary long time after the release and it was good at all points despit some weakness .
but what thinked those that played it dday one?
From what I've seen, it's not alpha-state. It's a proof-of concept tech demo at best that does not even have a working AI or skirmish.
Way too early access, more like.
or maybe its completly scripted .
since their is no save and its really questionnable , its hard to see if the behavior is fixed.
alpha is never public.
alpha is just placeholders and requiert skill at codding for understand what happend.
actually its a beta with cosmetics as nearl all early access.
the diference is the playability is limited as a tutorial state.
generally other games wait the mid beta for release.
its the common trend to claim pre alpha then the player can larp to be a dev.
real dev dont enjoy their own game because they know what behind and its rarelly nice as the cosmetics show.
let imagine the majority of game with units as single plot and projectiles non existent being just insta damage.
total annihilation brought the physical projectile with balistic trajectory what can be dodged by microing the units and the following was the body parts that not any game use but allow to loose limbs.
This “game” feels more like a tech demo than a full-fledged product and is another example of how publishers can release inferior content without consequences. In a material economy, something like this would be unthinkable - but in the software industry, it seems to be accepted. That's just disappointing.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
i buyed a game solo mission hard stoped because a bug and the devs decided to let the game for sale but not more update steam version for switching to itch or something.
i begged steam about and they just dont care after 2h played.
its not a surprise since we signed for it.
in material economy you can see that too : its named prototypes.not to confuse with pre-serie.
Now some of you might counter this with the following quote.
However, this game isn't "unplayable". Sure, it's lacking for a lot of content in its alpha stage, but there is absolutely a functioning single player tutorial campaign and there is absolutely a functioning 1v1 skirmish mode. Are they great in their current state? Not particularly. The devs are still working on the game, obviously. Are they playable? Yes.
Warning: Personal Opinion on the Internet Ahead
Again, nobody is forcing anyone to buy any early access game. Whining about it because you didn't do your own research or expected more when these discussions about the current state of the game are here, publicly available to you, is just a sheer lack of responsibility on your part. The devs did their part, and they're still doing their part. Ours as early access consumers is to support them. I don't know about those of you who are complaining about your own financial decisions, but I'm doing my part.
It can't be a scam if all this information is publicly available. Which it is, so I don't understand why so many people feel inclined to complain. Cry, I guess.
I like the concept they're going for, and I'm patient enough to wait for a finished product and enjoy watching the development as it occurs.
