Greetings, Spacefarers!
We’ve been incredibly busy with Galaverse and May Mayhem preparations, but not to worry! We have not forgotten the rest of the AMA transcripts. We have part 2 ready to go today, and will be sharing the 3rd and final part next week. We will also have an additional post for questions that were unanswered during the original event. Without further ado, part 2!
Q: MoonManiac — 04/20/2022
Is there going to be any kind of player/account leveling? that acts as sort of a global governor? or will the potential for progression to entirely isolated at the specific asset level?
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
we’ve gone back and forth a little bit on player/account level between the design team. As of now, we’re primarily focused on tying a players “individual” progression to their homebase command center Tier. That will typically be the biggest roadblock to continuing to progress.
Q: GFFLO — 04/20/2022
Aprox, What will be the requirements for a PC to run the game?
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
We’re focused on performance. We want to the min PC spec to be as reasonable as we can make it, but our tech team hasn’t dialed in what the lowest possible spec is yet. Suffice to say we want as many folks to be able to play on as many computers as possible
Q: goulven — 04/20/2022
will there be a linux version ? and if yes, will it be soon after the windows launch or not ? and even if it don’t concern me, can you tell us the same about the macOs ?
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
I think it would be unlikely for us to have a linux version, but a MacOS version I could discuss with our tech tstrong texteam to see what they say
Q: oatcat — 04/20/2022
Any rough idea on release schedule?
A: HF Artemis, Queen of Leeks — 04/20/2022
Q3 is our current estimate. If one thing is certain in game development, especially one as complex as this, it’s that nothing is ever certain
We give our best estimate and will continue to be transparent if anything changes or we make a determination that more is needed
Q: goulven — 04/20/2022
will there be other sort of NFT, other than claim, heroes and space-ships ?
A: HF Artemis, Queen of Leeks — 04/20/2022
Guilds as well
Q: MoonManiac — 04/20/2022
Is there an update on guild charter limitations? Last we heard, there was a thought of limiting to 100 players for the rarest level guild NFTs. Might there be an option for us to formally partner multiple charters together in-game to create larger guilds?
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
Yes, we’re still looking into this! The team is still focused primarily on progression and our upcoming NFT assets, but we’re leaning pretty heavily towards folks being able to create some sort of “alliance” if you will
Q: GFFLO — 04/20/2022
How will battle work? I mean if we look at Total War Rome II we can control the battles, but you can auto also the battle
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
too soon to tell. we’re not focused on combat for some time. but as i have more info, we’ll share it here
Q: goulven — 04/20/2022
Q: will there be a way to rent our NFTs ? like what’s being talked about in TS / Mirandus
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
we just had a great conversation with Gala regarding the rental system over there, and suffice to say… I’m intrigued
Q: goulven — 04/20/2022
Also, from what i’m seeing, we don’t know the rarity of the claim before discovering it ; will there be a cost for this action ?
A: HF Artemis, Queen of Leeks — 04/20/2022
There would be minor costs for building your probes, but nothing awful. You’ll have the option to speed it up by faster means of travel using Dust, and things of that sort, but players will be able to explore as long as they’re active in the game on any kind of casual basis
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
we do tell you the quality (the word we use for rarity in our game) before you discover it
Q: MoonManiac — 04/20/2022
ooo. upcoming NFT assets…anymore info you can share on what and when?
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
Ships, Heroes, and Guilds is what we’re planning right now! As for when… you’ll just have to wait and see
Q: MoonManiac — 04/20/2022
mmhmmm…the ever elusive “wen”. It sounds like we will be able to also have non-NFT ships and Heroes. Are there any examples of what the NFT versions will offer as an advantage that you can share?
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
indeed there will be non-NFT variants. I CAN tell you what we’re going to be calling the NFT variants versus the regulars.
Capital Ships and Heroes are the non - NFT Variants
Flag Ships and Paragons are the NFT versions (edited)
Q: is there a maximum number of players at the same time in a Galaxy?
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
There is a max number in our minds, but it’s extremely high. The technical limit is higher than what we’re expecting to need for the total playerbase.
Q: goulven — 04/20/2022
everyone has to discover every claim ? interesting… (edited)
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
yup! that’s why the fog of war work we did was so important. Now every player has to focus on discovery to ensure that they’re working and building out their assets effectively. Discovery has to be a major component to the game that everyone has to do
A: HF Artemis, Queen of Leeks — 04/20/2022
And also that players learn what, and who is nearby
Q: Faz — 04/20/2022
Does this game compare at all to the Civilization series?
A: HF Artemis, Queen of Leeks — 04/20/2022
that would be a fair comparison
Q: goulven — 04/20/2022
so… will we be able to mint the claim of someone ; but without discovering the claim ?
A: HF_Shadow — 04/20/2022
discovery and claiming are two completely separate things actually. if you HAVE a claim to use, then you have to go out and discover a planet via probing first, THEN if it’s the CO you want, then you can claim it
Q: Dieseldoc | ROME — 04/20/2022
WEN play test?
A: HF Artemis, Queen of Leeks — 04/20/2022
Precisely when we allow it
