Spaceships Ahoy - Sins of a Solar Empire [Feb 04, 2008, 8:24 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Launch Day
Is Here announces the Stardock Forums, announcing the release of Sins of a
Solar Empire, Ironclad's new 4X space strategy game. They have a
Launch
Day FAQ describing how to get your hands on a copy online, in stores, or if
you have preordered. The FAQ mentions a version 1.01 patch that's an 11 MB
download, available automatically.
IIRC they plan on a demo, about a month from now. I believe their first order of business was getting the game out, then they'll work on the demo. Edit: That's just what I picked up lurking the Sins forums, so take all of that with a large grain of salt. I already have the full game, so my level of interest in a demo isn't very high. 
Re: The tutorials. They seem a bit sparse to me (all 4 of them taken together) but I think it's just the sheer volume of information that is provided at a glance that is the really overwhelming part. Fortunately a single player game with no one except pirates and neutrals is a great way to settle in, and the tooltips (esp. the info cards) are a huge help.
Now that I've started to get a feel for the game it's coming easier, and having all the info available is damn handy.
Congrats to Ironclad on a game very, very well done. This is one that's gonna consume my life.
