Slipways - Galactic Civilization Building Strategy

[@dimmer9378]

Splattercat: *Plays slipways* KZbin: No you're playing Galactic Civilizations.

[@Cossen09]

Well he did literally put "Galactic Civilization" in the title.

[@KerbalSpacey]

youtube tells me it's stellaris now

[@Medytacjusz]

also, it's Galactic Civilizations ONE, from 2003.

[@jamesbudd437]

"Ive really done a deep dive and put some time into this one." Complains about missing resources when they are literally an inch away on screen. Classic Splatty.

[@GRAYgauss]

The moment you described the game I knew this was a strategy game I've been missing (I prefer the minimalism and heuristics of go as opposed to the complex ruleset and memorization of chess, for example). When you played it, your stream of conscious play did a very good job of demonstrating the experience. It was what I hoped, I will really be watching this game, thank you.

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

Let me just stop you right there (10seconds into the video) ANYBODY who takes the time to re-record a video about a game as they gained experience and understand the game better and therefor showcase it more interestingly with a new recording, is a bloody hero and deserves a like (and a thank you). As soon as I am done watching I might just sub too (which I never do after just one video). Now let's see if it's interesting :P

[@miranomanovic9930]

So simple yet so complicated. Lovely strategy and Splooty you did a great job explaining it.

[@justinpeterson7246]

Every time I see a video for this game I just want to play it so bad! Looks amazingly cathartic, can't wait!

[@Pinstar]

Tech is something that you need to prioritize if you want to get to the tier 2/ tier 3 techs. Setting up labs early and colonizing worlds to produce redundant copies of the same resource near each other will let you set up very productive labs. The main reason for the tech starving is that the game generally doesn't give you any tech generation for free so you have to go out of your way to make your lightbulbs and doing so often runs counter to what the best setup for just raw economic gains would be. However, techs give you new economic opportunities and/or break the rules of the game (like letting slipways cross each other) which will ultimately let you get even more profitable routes and prosperous-level planets. The 25 year limit isn't a product of it being beta, but rather a design decision that gives you a time limit, making every thing you do (and the time it takes to do that) count. I think there will be modes that let you go longer than 25 in 1.0 but 25 feels like that is the benchmark for a "normal" game.

[@WizLiz1996]

Love your videos! although gotta say I been yelling "look down to the core for water!" alone in a room for the last 5 minutes. Keep up the great work :D

[@Astoviano]

You had water this whole time on the planet right next to it!

[@aurorajones8481]

LOL right i was yelling to the screen thinking he could hear me. LOL

[@BoyInFrance]

Gosh I love all the coverage of this game it's right up my street

[@BoyInFrance]

When you linked up that water at the end of the video I felt such a sense of relief.

[@NuniaBiznaz]

I almost feel like he ignored it until the end on purpose.

[@GRAYgauss]

For anyone wondering, from the developer's twitter: "A public demo of the game is coming to the next Steam Game Festival, February 3rd-9th."

[@GrumpyGrobbyGamer]

This game looks really amazing, and surprisingly deep and complicated. I love it Splatt!

[@simonmatthews566]

Looks good, like a space colonization puzzle game. Looks simplistic but the kinda game you pick up thinking you will play it for an hour or two and then you've suddenly lost 6-7 hours before you know it

[@danceyjohnson1375]

Came from twitch specifically to say you did a good job! Thank you for the great content!

[@akocbibbo]

man...splat you always draining away my gaming budget with these excellent recommendations!

[@repeataftermeme75]

This game reminds more of a board game. Specifically Nova Luna and Sagani. You use tiles to complete goals of other/adjacent tiles. They also use time. No money involved as the board games are much simpler.

[@ruffnarbobnar5960]

My wallet hurts almost everyday now.... it seems to coincide with splattercat youtube videos.....

[@arjunnava]

For some reason, Splats video convinces me the the most towards buying games. Its been like this for the past 6-8 years

[@ruffnarbobnar5960]

@@arjunnava agreed lol but the funny part is recently I have been really scooping up some games from his reviews.

[@dontnormally]

There's a free version of this game, just play that. It's on itch.io.

[@arjunnava]

@@dontnormally A lot of folk including me are highly dependent on steam for providing trials or demos. Also, it should not come as a shock, but Splatts general inability to play well on most games as well as his excellent portrayal of games convinces you that the game is excellent (if when its not) and incentivizes you to buy the game. I have bought a few games (including shoppe pe pe pe pe keep ;.;) which i got bored within a few minutes but was convinced prior that it would be an excellent game after watching his vids.

[@yhiza3155]

A simplified version of this game is on coolmathgames

[@zakmackay]

This reminds me heavily of starruler 2 economic side. I really want to try this game out.

[@drepple]

I'd love to see more of this!

[@ColinTimmins]

This looks cool. Puzzle, almost board game like in a way. Will have to see about getting it.

[@Medytacjusz]

looks awesome! very boardgame-like, and I like that. I think such short, snappy but brainy designs are better suited to modern pace of life than having to dump 3k hours into EU4 and get bogged down in repetitive chores and AI barely coping with the complexity.

[@MrEgrave]

Well thats a very interesting game

[@MikelNaUsaCom]

42... needs to be able to destroy a planet for building a highway.

Awesome vid as always! So glad it's not another freaking roguelite/like again.

[@ralphy-u2z]

You always find the best games

[@Breakfast_of_Champions]

Not even in early access and I want it already.

[@igorthelight]

You may contact the developers - maybe they will sell you Alpha version of the game. Maybe they even add you to their Beta-Testers list :-)

[@johanneskrenner8908]

I think the pico-8-version should be still around

[@maciejpociecha6357]

SO... You are the Architects getting your protomolecule game on. Cool.

[@mr.ehellow1238]

Important note, the total amount of time you get to play fro is 25 years on normal mode, not just a beta thing :)

[@DobbsyLondon]

The time gap between the destruction of sol after starlancer, and the start of freelancer.....is here 😆

[@rickytempleton4181]

Having a great time with your content! Take care of yourself!

[@halbouma6720]

Looks like a great game! Thanks for the video!

[@saxman362]

Cool game! Thanks Splat!

"we are the spaghetti" lmfaooooo

[@icthulu]

Very much like the thought you need to put in Into the Breach. Definitely want to give it a go when it goes live.

[@Aaron-kr1vu]

This game looks so cool

[@imonlyamanandiwilldiesomed4406]

Another great game that shows why marker economies are superior to command economies

[@TheMarrethiel]

Basically.... Sudoku Nice, I will put it on my wish list.

[@nethervvoid]

Really simple game, but.... looks very addictive. lol

[@superspiesvlogs9230]

This is kinna like early Star Wars lore of how they colonized the galaxy

A Rimworld serie would be awesome

[@davedave8986]

More of this please

[@Cronos804]

0:24 Man i would have been pleased with the first 2 hours of gameplay.

[@QixTheDS]

This sounds pretty inspired by 40k. Forge worlds, hive worlds, etc

[@hatework4282]

Ill have to keep an eye out for this one. Its Intriguing, but id like to see it more developed.

[@plmokm33]

At what point do you get the amazing technology of just taking the gate on the other side of the planet to get to the one you need lol?

[@duskyrc1373]

22:52 completely misses the spare water on the planet south

[@alexanderzhmurov9624]

So... my take is basically that these gates are rather more like mass accelerators establishing (safe(?)) highway-like rapid transportation paths in space rather than wormhole -access jumpgates...

[@Cuthawolf]

100% sold. I want this.

[@StevoKpop]

a lot of planets are all named after sci-fi authors from all over the world :D

[@hunterrandolph3769]

Small Version of Stellaris LOVE IT!

[@cleanliving1612]

My problem with these games is that Space Tyrant basically boils the formula down, keeps the fun, and removes the tedium

[@3ractnodi]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@RemoraDFC343]

This looks interesting. On Wishlist.

[@ronaldtrang5040]

its a space solitaire game. very puzzle like sudoku

[@thomasscroggs4410]

A bit like Stardrive 2, just without the space combat.

If the insect guys optimize your engines by making the pistons all fire at the same time, I won't be asking them to service my car!

Will you cover dyson sphere program? It is a factorio clone with beautiful graphics and interplanetary travel which has entered early access

How can you upload multiple vids in different games in a daily basis? Im impressed.

Money can be motivating.

[@alekwithak5853]

So what’s the in game reason behind traders/transports not jumping through the gates twice in the name of profits?

The game would be perfect if planets actually orbit a star and not randomly sitting in space rotating around itself. I find this a great idea that would increase game depth.
