Thoughts & Screenshots: Alpha Tues. 27 Jan 2015
https://www.flickr.com/photos/28733790@N07/sets/72157650109122420/
This was the first day in which I was able to play since Saturday, and boy was it a far-more pleasant experience! Everything ran smoother, and build times were displayed properly. The jarring lag was mostly gone.
This game, though, is not ready for a beta test. There are numerous graphical anomalies, and queuing up multiple buildings will ensure most of them will either disappear or not be built at all. Lots of issues with the building queue.
Buildings already-built tend to vanish, which clearly indicates we are still very much in Alpha, but far away from the tortuous pre-alpha state we had Saturday.
Graphically, the game looks great with more of Serjio's graphics being implemented, though as beautiful as they are, there are some issues with various graphics looking too similar to other graphics. An example is the Forester's Hut looking a lot like the Cabin. Currently, ore nodes look way too much like iron mines.
A million little things to work on, but Gordy and company are getting it done.

Pics from first day of beta testing!
https://flic.kr/s/aHsk4pWkZg
Delayed by a few hours due to login issues, the first-ever playing of Crown of the Gods by people other than Gordy and Alekazzam took place this afternoon for about two hours ere Gordy had to take the server down for the day due to database issues causing lag such that building cues were showing building times of, literally, 450 million years.
So sorry I did not get more pictures. Things were coming so fast and furious I could not get around my clunky screen capture setup. I wish I could do like I can in World of Warcraft with the PrintScreen button giving me .jpg images already date-time stamped in the file name!
Disappointing to see this Beta really be an Alpha, but all things considered, and as someone in chat said, this game does work. And for the shoestring budget with which Gordy and Co. have had to work from, this day was, indeed, a triumph. Many congratulations to all!
I won't be able to play tomorrow, but I look forward to playing in the beta later this coming week...
