Early access has been a major selling point for many games over the past few years, and I think it's a great strategy if the game is mostly how you expect it to be at "release." Definitely, if you want a warning in the dangers of early access: you just look at the Faerun alpha/beta and how they had to abruptly shut it back down due to how poor the word of mouth was getting (very buggy, very unpolished UI, preliminary balance testing, ect). If you want more warnings, check out starbound! The man site forums have been purged of all but the most devout fans and the steam forum is a hate-fest.

It's a pretty cool game. I think it's more related to chess than usual CCGs. It's like chess with RTS economy element. I like the concept a lot. The details, I'm not sure yet, but I think what they are trying to do could grow into a genre

They've changed what happens when we time out during a breach.
Before: Click random units until we run out of attack Now: Consistently click Tarsiers before Drones, Drones before Animus and Animus before Blastforge.
So the game is even less random now.

5 ways to abuse Masterbot: 1) It tends to play a little too conservatively. A well executed 12-drone Tarsier-Wall rush, or similarly fast threat, will usually keep it from both econ and attack. 2) It prioritizes frontline units over breaching. This lets you block efficiently with Wild Drones, Iceblade Golems and attacking Shredders. 3) It often responds to Freeze by buying Lifespan blockers, when both are available. Then loses the Lifespan blockers to chill. 4) When it has no Engineers, it will often buy unnecessary rhinos, forcefields or walls just to avoid a yellow overrun. Even when it loses the same set of units. Even when the force-field could have just been a blocking drone with the same result. 5) It doesn't punish, or use, early Vivid Drones to rush without sacrificing much econ.

Woo! Was worried they wouldn't make it.
|
Good to hear that they made it, this game looks really interesting.
|
Anyone still paying attention to Prismata? Curious if I am the only one from here who kept actively playing.
For anyone else who might have forgot about this game after the Kickstarter, there has been few major changes including UI update and heavily RNG-dependent Arena rewards such as unit skins and emotes. The latter had just been recently introduced and suffer from incomplete functionality and unrefined "mechanics", though. I myself wish there was option to re-roll the rewards available with shards.
|
Wow, I didn't realize I used to come here around a year ago.
Well, Prismata is still as good as ever. Honestly, there has been very few UI changes, so the game looks the same at first glance.
But the balance is really top notch, the new units are great, and there are just so many tools to become a better player ("Take control", called Analyze, external replay trackers, etc...)

For those interested, there is part of the world championship right now : stream

Yes, they are keeping PR down until new player retention features like single player campaign to better introduce people into the game are in place.
Think I have the key but is not at my computer atm, will see if I have one when I am not afk - should be within an hour.
EDIT: Sorry, looks like I actually gave out all the keys already. Maybe someone else could help

Thanks for checking Hesmyrr~
would love to give this game a go. Is multiplayer still somewhat active by the way?
|
I'm not sure how active the multiplayer is, but I know there are still regular tournaments. There was a big world championship streamed on twitch recently.
You could ask for a key on the subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/prismata Alternatively you could try to PM celerity (the OP of this thread) here on TL. He's quite active in the Prismata community, and iirc he mentioned having some spare keys.
|
Tarias' code worked, thanks a million!
Thanks also for the notes about reddit and celerity. Will look into that.
