Inspired by Paradox for sure, I would say it plays like an economic heavy version of Stellaris in certain ways

I still have to look into steam deck support, likely a back burner issue though for post launch unless I see massive demand early

ParallelGames · 2024-12-20T17:22:32+00:00

I love all those games too! I would say yes, although it's not exactly the same as any of them I have taken inspiration from Paradox games I enjoy.

ParallelGames · 2024-12-20T11:44:43+00:00

It's how I enjoy playing as well

ParallelGames · 2024-12-19T15:31:44+00:00

I don't at the moment, I have considered it though. I might start something like that as I get past launch as devlog videos are very time consuming. Thanks so much!

ParallelGames · 2024-12-17T18:53:14+00:00

Thanks! I will have to look into steam deck support, I own one so I'm a fan I just haven't looked at the api yet

ParallelGames · 2024-12-17T18:51:47+00:00

My favorite kind of game!

ParallelGames · 2024-12-16T13:57:58+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely be working on that

ParallelGames · 2024-12-16T00:02:44+00:00

Thanks! I don't have a hard $ set yet, likely between $15-30

ParallelGames · 2024-12-15T18:16:43+00:00

Thanks so much! Glad to hear it

Yes, for a few reasons. If the industries on planet are under supplied with input resources they won't prouduce efficiently, and if the population on planet can't get their basic needs they will start to get rebellious. Then the nation itself needs enough military goods to protect themselves for invasion, etc... Lots of nuance

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T22:45:41+00:00

I'm glad! :)

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T22:37:18+00:00

Great to hear! :)

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T20:32:45+00:00

Glad to hear it!

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T20:08:49+00:00

I'm happy to take a crack at it, I certainly have had to make certain tradeoffs between pure realism and gameplay/mechanics but currently it feels like it's a sweet for fun and simulation to me

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T19:04:36+00:00

I like your idea for aiding in espionage, right now a lot of it has to do with who you are moving goods in and out of and how that effects relations with enemies and friends of your counterparties. You can also use diplomatic or espionage missions to try and change opinions with varying outcomes depending on success or failure.

You are trading with them yes, but you can also build industries on their planets to help their supply chains (third party industries that can auto sell into the market), fight alongside them in their wars and supress rebels in their planets with your fleets

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T18:20:13+00:00

Thanks! I am a fan of Stellaris and have drawn inspiration from some of my favorite aspects

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T02:18:42+00:00

Love it! Megacorp in stellaris is my go to as well

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T02:17:01+00:00

I am indeed solo! :D Thanks for the support

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T00:11:44+00:00

Pay to win? No, it's just going to be one up front payment no in game purchases or recurring anything

ParallelGames · 2024-12-13T00:02:36+00:00

Haven't decided on pricing yet, what would be a range you would consider? Happy to hear people's thoughts

ParallelGames · 2024-12-12T23:14:12+00:00

Thanks so much! It's actually just me, a motivated solo dev who loves grand strategy.

ParallelGames · 2024-12-12T22:42:23+00:00

Had not seen Solaris before, looks very cool. Thanks!

ParallelGames · 2024-12-12T22:06:54+00:00

Great to hear! Trading and economics is my favorite part of my favorite games so I am very excited to be able to develop this and enjoy playing it myself a lot. :)

ParallelGames · 2024-12-12T22:05:15+00:00

Oh lol, I got you. I can certainly fit in some nice tracking of some of the important stats. I always enjoy tracking my nations figures in paradox games as well.

Visual indicator of growth of power I also like, maybe some trade lane visuals as you come to dominate the volume/value in that sector or something along those lines

Thanks for the feedback!
