So I decided to pick this up!  Purchasing and dloading from impulse now (wish it was steam... but cheaper this way :P)

CB, up for that multiplayer later? or anyone want to give it a try?

How about later on this afternoon, maybe about 4pm (pst) if that's not too late.  I've yet to be to be since last Sunday night and just need a couple hours with my eyes closed, then I'll be up for some fun.

Let me know.

[crowebird]

maybe in a half hour/hour?

[City Builder]

Yeah okay that's fine.

[crowebird]

ok i created a game called citybuilder, my username is crowebird

So, not sure what happened but game told me that it couldn't connect up to you anymore and then did an autosave and told me "you are now the host" at which time I exited the game since I was feeling a bit faint from not eating yet today so I went off to collect our dinner from the Chinest restaurant down the street here.

It was very fun and interesting while it lasted I'll give it that.  To me it felt like the people involved really did need to know who was taking care of what.  I have to imagine a game like this in Co-op would gain substantially with the use of voice chat while playing.

All in all, it was okay.

[crowebird]

Yea... it stopped and just told me that you dropped, but I do like how a multiplayer session is resumable, if we ever want to start that game again.

But it was interesting, I like how they show what building you are clicked on, and show the overlay that you are about to purchase something, letting me know how many tools are about to be used before I perform some action.  I do wish however, that they would show the pre-purchase item on my screen as you are about to do it... that way I can see what it is you are attempting to do (for co-op... obviously, the implemented method would work great if we were on different teams).

I'm curious to play a game now if we were on a different team... not to make war... but see how another player could influence your own design decisions... for example, you immediately created a lot of juice production... and sold it... if we had an early trade relationship, I could buy juice from you instead of build it myself, and I could instead decide to do the same with clothes, which you then could buy all from me instead of build it yourself.  (I know there are the traders, and AI players this could be done with, but having a human element could really affect trade, at least make it interesting).

Definitely would be interesting, we'll have to try it out.

I'm running out in about an hour to go see Alice in Wonderland in 3D at the local IMAX theater, but we'll have to try it that way and see how that works out.

[crowebird]

hey CB, I got some free time to try another multiplayer if your up for it.

[City Builder]

I'm sorry, I didn't check my emails earlier, I had plenty of free time.  Now it's almost 9pm (pst) and Im about to pass out from hunger as we wait for the brisket to finish cooking.

Let's try again when you have more free time and I'll try to check my email more regularly.
