SeanD -> Distant Worlds Now Available for Purchase! (3/25/2010 7:23:49 PM)

The highly anticipated 4X “Living Galaxy” Sci-Fi strategy game is out of hyperspace and headed for your system

Matrix Games and CodeFore (www.codeforce.co.nz) are thrilled to announce that Distant Worlds is now available for purchase! Now gamers can experience a “living galaxy” with endless options and replayability, command vast empires that span many star system and engage in research, diplomacy, ship design, espionage, trade, combat and more! Be sure to check out the long list of promo videos available for Distant Worlds in addition to the three new screenshots of a few of the beautifully detailed alien races found in the game!

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Distant Worlds has already assembled a considerable fan base on previews and promotional videos alone. We’re thrilled to see this excited community get their hands on Distant Worlds and start conquering the galaxy!”

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game.

Vast galaxies are made to order: up to 1400 star systems, with up to 50,000 planets, moons and asteroids. Galaxies are so deep, fun and immersive that you won’t want to finish the game... Build, expand and improve your empire endlessly. The galaxy is packed with life and activity. Encounter other empires, independent alien colonies, traders, pirates and space monsters. Explore star systems, asteroid fields, gas clouds, supernovae, galactic storms and black holes. Discover evidence of civilizations long since past, uncovering secrets about the galaxy's troubled history...

Best of all, you can play the game your way: enjoy a quick, intense game in a crowded galaxy or take your time in an epic game spread across a vast galaxy! You can run the game as slow or as fast as you like, with intelligent advisors and many different settings for warnings and auto-pause triggers to help you manage your empire at your own pace.

Please Note: An immediate 1.01 update is available along with the release, to resolve one issue discovered after the master files were completed. We recommend that all customers download and install this 1.01 update using the “Check for Updates” option on the game menu right after installing the main game.

Get more information on Distant Worlds from its official product page.

drillerman -> RE: Distant Worlds Now Available for Purchase! (3/25/2010 7:44:36 PM)

Plus, if it encourages updates and more 4x games then let's support the devs!!

It is, but a game like this could be played for a decade so the box is worth the risk.

zx2000 -> RE: Distant Worlds Now Available for Purchase! (3/27/2010 10:25:30 AM)

Is this game only in english language, or is it also in an other? (like french perhaps? :D)




Erik Rutins -> RE: Distant Worlds Now Available for Purchase! (3/27/2010 3:03:15 PM)

The in-game text is only in English right now. It could be localized in the future, but that has not yet happened. A lot of the game is icon and number based though, I don't think you would need much English to be able to play.




105mm Howitzer -> RE: Distant Worlds Now Available for Purchase! (3/27/2010 7:29:13 PM)

Nice response, well done to all. Btw, if you consider the price steep, frankly, you should have seen the work and dedication the designer put in to this product. Holy Smokes, the man ( and team) worked their asses off.
I can attest personally, it is a fine, well thought-out 4x space-based game.
Nuff said..
Enjoy

Question! If I buy only the downloaded copy will I ever be able to download it again if/when I get a new comp?
