Darwinia Demo Plans [Jan 29, 2005, 1:16 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Darwinia News Page has word on
plans for an updated demo for Introversion Software's upcoming evolutionary
action/strategy game. Expressing some mystification at the mystification the
first demo (story) has inspired, they admit "we've obviously
misjudged the amount of help that games players need," going on to announce: "We
are working on a new demo that will include a detailed tutorial that explains
the concepts of Darwinia." In the meantime, thy have posted a new
tutorial section
that can help with the first demo. Thanks Frans.
The first time I played the demo I was clueless. The second time was a bit better. The third time was the charm for me; I got it.
The only thing that had me scratching my melon was how to fuel the research system. When I discovered that capturing structures gives you research points I had cleared the last hurdle toward knowing the rules.
Anyway, I think it speaks volumes as to the quality of the game that folks, like me, who have little tolerance for inscrutable demos, have invested the time in this one to figure it out. At the end of the day, it looks to be a pretty fun and original game. In fact, IMHO, it's the best demo I've played all year (all 29 days of it ; )
