Status: offline 		This thread is to say Publicly to Elliotg, THANK YOU!

Also to say a Thank You to Erik.

It's been a while since I've had this much fun with a Space 4X game.

And while it's true there are "bugs" yet to squash, this is a playable and enjoyable game.

So Again, THANK YOU for making this game and for publishing it.

JosEPh

Everything looks good until then, but once corruption passes 50%, things start to go downhill fast. It's unplayable this way. Catch you all in a few months or so, I'll see if things have improved by then. Or if they've gotten worse.

I did reach the end game, I conquered the entire galaxy.

I think you posted this in the wrong thread. anyways, upload that one.

You've posted this in at least three threads. I'm sorry you experienced this, but it also didn't happen in my late game testing, so I think that the most helpful thing you could do is upload a save file. As I posted elsewhere, corruption is about diminishing returns and it has a cap by design, so what you describe is not what's intended or what others have seen in their late game testing.

To everyone else, thank you for the thank yous! I'll make sure Elliot sees this thread too.

Regards,

- Erik

I'm raising this thread back to the 1st page.

And I am encouraging Everyone that even slightly likes the Game to say so.

Let Elliotg and Erik know that we DO appreciate their efforts. Lets be honest, the game is still developing and there are still "Bumps" in the Road. But what other Space 4X has caused such a stir as DW has lately?

Again, Thank You Elliotg for your Dream child. And Thank you Erik for Publishing it.

JosEPh

Status: offline 		I will also add to what has been said - DW is a great game and one of the best game purchases i have ever made. Bought it after reading some nice reviews about it, and especially the fact that it is well supported by Codeforce & Matrix Games, through patches, new content and feedback to customers. Thanks Elliot & Erik!

Sure, DW could do with a little polishing here and there, but i really think for a first release it has got a lot of things that i like in a Space 4X game right straight off.

This is one game i will definately play for a long time to come and if any expansion packs or new DW titles come out, i will buy them too!

It will go a long way in bringing new PC gamers into the 4x market and thus possibly inspire future developers to pay more attention to this much starved segment.

This is one of the more orginal 4X games I have seen in a long time and while there is lots of stuff yet to be done to make it a classic, it looks like the foundation has been solidly set thanks to the continuing hard work of these two guys. I will always give up my hard earned cash to people like that over some faceless company which treats you like a number.

Kudos and thanks to both of you.

AS of right now DW has 17872 Posts looks like it's pretty popular with the crowd!!

Keep the Patches & I hope even if I have to $$ them Add On's coming.

While I've not yet been able to play Distant Worlds as extensively as I'd like (real life drastically cuts down on my playing time periodically), I do have to say I've been having a marvelous time in the precious few hours in which I do get to play it. For as much as I'm not an RTS fan (admittedly, I still with the game were turn-based), this game has been an absolute blast so far.

Truly, I don't think there's another space 4x title out there like this one; both developer and publisher should be very proud of what they've done thus far. I look forward to future updates....and gods willing, future expansions and/or sequels as well.

And if the developers don't realize the astounding level of praise I just lavished on you, I don't know what else to say!!!

NOTHING has come close since then.
