noob at loss

[Vierkand]

hi ,

i wanted to say i love the 4x genre eventhough i am really bad at it...
that being said, i tried to play this game a few times , but every time i find myself searching and thinking where to do what.

where to build this , how to colonize that.. etc..

so i don't know if this game is intended for all entry levels of players or is it for the more seasoned 4x players?

if it is for all entries then i would suggest to make thing ALOT more clearer and more self explanetory (hope i wrote that right, english is not my native language)

The game looks awsome and is probally fun to play if i could find out how to do things

maybe i should give comment from a noobs take on the game?

our intention is to create a fairly sophisticated 4x strategy game. and like all games in the genre, SiS certainly has a learning curve.

that said, we want to make it as accessible as we can; before the game releases, we are planning to include a more structured tutorial. we're also making a sustained effort to build documentation into the game -- many UI elements have tooltips that show on-hover, and clicking things (like the factory icons in your planet screen) should bring up text explaining how they work.

please do. that sort of feedback is very valuable. right now, the beta testing group is biased towards hardcore strategy gamers -- but feedback from less experienced players can really help improve the new player experience.
