GRTV: Star Drive - Interview
We talk to Zero Sum Games about the 4X space real-time strategy game that launches on Steam today.
We met up with Zero Sum Games (aka Daniel DiCicco) at a hotel room during GDC to learn more about {Star Drive} - a new game in the 4X space strategy genre. It was one of those "pre-Double Fine Adventure" Kickstarter projects - and it will see release today (on Steam) - so we thought it á propos to publish this interview today.
While Zero Sum Games is essentially a one man operation, the community has been instrumental to creating the {Star Drive} that sees release today.
"People have been playing this game since the Kickstarter, so for about 13, 14 months or something. So I'll implement some ideas and they get ground through like a community feedback process - so that helps me eliminate bottlenecks in flow and usability."
One feature that won't be there at launch is multiplayer, but DiCicco hopes to bring that out in the future:
"This game actually would lend itself very well to multiplayer. People are begging for it and I'm going to deliver. But this is my first product, and it's really important that it's as tight as can be on the singleplayer side of things."
