That is what DW2 needs. When I'm playing a race and I meet another one I should not be saying to myself..."AH, a cat race. Well. I'm a dog race....attack!" Instead I'd like something a little richer, I want to be saying, "AH the vorarkiii ...

I sincerely hope that DW is high on the steam list because it has sold quite a lot. And not because nothing else sold much either.<br/>

While I agree your pricing is reasonable for what you are offering you may want to check the Steam Forums. I was expecting you would have a little more time but the unconstructive criticisms have already begun.<br/>

First, I'd like far more people to know about DW than know about it now. I've personally put a lot of effort into that, but I know that we as a company have also reached out to many mainstream and independent journalists, bloggers and ...

In contrast for Distant Worlds, there is no news on major sites, there are no development logs and there is no discussion with the general community over features (beyond those few people you have supporting directly). All we have are some ...

I read this yesterday and keep wondering why no one from Codeforce/Matrix has had similar opportunities with a site as big as PC Gamer? I consider DW gameplay and immersion to be far superior than Endless Space and Stardrive combined and I'm ...

<t> The biggest thing going for Distant Worlds is its fan base.<br/>
<br/>
We know that Matrix, for whatever reason, does not want to bring Distant Worlds to Steam. That needs to be accepted (regardless of what one may think of the decision) and move on from it. <br/>
<br/>
With this in mind ...

Your marketing strategy is CRAP, Matrix. Why haven't we heard a FREAKING THING about Universe? <br/>

Have you posted on the technical support forum for the game? Also, try the Slitherine forum as that is much more active. The developer seems very active in releasing patches, and I'm sure if you posted as above you would get rapid assistance. For the ...
