Bugs/Crashes:
The generated text from AlienGPT for the civ summary is clearly cut off without a scroll
This also happened for an unassigned leader on the recruitment screen
Dislikes:
Likes:
Likes the flavor text of loading screen being destroying a galaxy
Likes the new opening cutscene and was pleasedly surprised by it
Enjoys the AlienGPT text
Likes the sector and galaxy customizability, he prefers small sectors and large galaxies
Likes the randomized discounted Techs for variety
Suggestions/Opinions:
Wishes asteroid miners had an auto-deploy button like colony ships do. The colony ship feature works so well, and it seems like an obvious win to add a similar function to Asteroid Miners because their deployment is pretty straightforward and doesn't usually require a lot of interesting player decision-making.
Wishes it were easier to spot which space resources (like Durantium, etc...) were being actively mined vs untapped to make it easier to know where to send constructor ships.
Other than mousing over the resource to confirm in the tooltip that it's being sent to a mining starbase (mine or an opponent), I personally have a really hard time seeing if something is already being worked.
Maybe a little flag showing the owner, or grey them out. Or put a glowing outline around untapped ones when a constructor ship is selected? It could even be a new tab in the Data Bank screen to list all known resources, tapped and untapped. Anything like that would be a big quality of life win.
Overview:
Immediately notes that Supernova feels more like GalCiv 4.5
Follow up by noting that Supernova has a dramatic number of changes
focused on flavor and story content
Outlines procedural A.I generation but refers to it as using ChatGPT rather than AlienGPT
Notes that the art being generated is trained on our past art as instructed by influencer guide
Personal Note: Constantly stating this makes people think that it's a live generation
Prefers Many sectors with small galaxies, and used that setup for the game
Does not really overview the new unlocked civs, or even mention them
Does a great job navigating the game
Great review and quick explanation of tech screen
keeps a good positive energy throughout
Goes over features and mechanics as they come up, such as tech navigator, auto survey, etc
Quick simple explanations on stats, we should probably take tutorial notes
Was unsure if star color had mechanical meaning, and honestly it isn’t explained anywhere
