Each one has a double popup around the building, making it so that it fills the negative space between the building rather than sitting on top of the building itself. And you can see a whole bunch of specialty resources that are being mined by the Evucks, too. You can also see scaffolding on a few buildings, which is there when buildings are under construction. Also of note in the third clip are a couple of buildings that were not visually finished at the time, but they now are. In some cases completely different from one another.Ħ. The AI players all use completely different mechanics from you, and pretty different mechanics from each other. This is what it looks like when the AI plays as these races - it's a completely different tileset from when you play as these races (in which case their tileset is the same one you saw in clips 1 and 2, where I happened to be playing as the Krolin). The third clip is showing first the Evucks, then the Peltians. The vertical bars next to my lander and next to that one factory are health bars, showing damage from the helicopter attacks that completely wrecked the building in the far left of the frame.ĥ.

In the case of the housing, it's based around how full that housing is (so lower is not more unhealthy, it's just a capacity meter). I just got attacked by helicopters from the west, though. A healthy town won't be having those all over the place. When it's fully staffed, the bar goes away. Also in that second clip, you'll notice that there are some bars showing around the base of four of the buildings, looking almost like health bars but not quite? Those are building efficiency bars, and they are usually based around how staffed that building is. The time between turns is about a second at worst at the moment.Ĥ. Some turns take quite a while and some don't. It's also worth noting that those 63 turns took me. I'm not sure what average ending turn counts will be, but I would imagine somewhere in the 2000 to 5000 range. I'm hardly into the game at all there, and I'm that far along in turn count. You may notice that I'm on turn 63, and that's no mistake. The second clip shows your lander after it has just unpacked, and with a few things rolled out. Anyway, even on the tiny maps there's plenty of room - though you'll have to eat a neighbor, most likely, by the end.ģ. If the minimap makes the world shown here seem small, that's because it is - this is a Tiny map, which is I believe four sizes smaller than Standard, above which there are another three or four sizes. The very first clip there is showing your view super early in the game, when you're placing your lander. (And for the record, I am about the biggest video game music nerd you'll meet, I expect).Ģ. well, something more out of classical music than a video game. It's really cool, and the number of musical changes that happen throughout make it really seem like something. Rather than doing as many short tracks, he's focusing on doing longer "suites" that grow and evolve around a central theme. The music playing at the start of the video is a small bit from the "Stars Suite," which is one of the many tracks being worked on by the very talented Pablo Vega. Sure! That thing really is a tease, isn't it? So here are some facts, in chronological order from the video:ġ. but at what price?Īnimated by Julian GD, and voiced by Toby Ricketts.Īnything Extra You Can Tell Us About That First Video? And the third video is a look at that civilization as it has become ascendant. The second video is a look at a supremely unlucky set of new arrivals on the planet. The first video focuses on the approach to the planet, and reveals the general backstory.
Stars beyond reach pre order series#
"Tales of Woe" is a three-part series of humorous video shorts set in the Stars Beyond Reach universe. For now, if you want a heap of play-by-play analysis of the video, that's down below. For detailed explanations of play mechanics and going through Let's Play style videos I'm going to need a lot more than a minute! I'll be doing those sorts of videos during late April or into May for sure. It's a sort of high-level view to pique the interest of people who might not have heard of the game.
I know it's very short and skips through things pretty fast, but I wanted to keep this under a minute and give you an overview of a number of things without getting bogged down in details. Two exciting things for you today! First of all, here's the first video of the game:
