Stars beyond reach twitter5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() This is both good but can also be off-putting for some players that like more traditional mechanics. SS: Arcen Games is known to think outside of the box, creating unique mechanics. There’s no crutch of “well the player will have to make this choice fast, so the details of the choice don’t matter much anyway.” Designed properly, a good 4X can instead really challenge the player to think at their own pace - and ideally, for experienced players of a game, they can speed through turns while making really meaningful decisions. That said, the opportunity for depth in this genre is unparalleled within strategy. I don’t mind an abstract representation - I’m a big fan of Risk, for instance, and that’s about as abstract as you can get - but when I can’t “see the state of the board” in any remotely meaningful way by looking at the game map, that does bother me. I think that a lot of games in the 4X genre tend to be too submenu-driven for my taste, if that makes sense. There are definitely more RTSs that I have liked historically, but in terms of my very favorite strategy games, there’s an even mix between 4X and RTS. What were your motives to do so?Ĭhris Park: For me it really depends on the game. SS: What are your opinions about the 4X genre? You’ve obviously toyed around with the genre in the past and are now going forward with a title that seems to be closer to the traditional 4X formula. For those who want an even more direct and detailed description of the game, the following interview may be helpful. You can go to the game’s official page if you wish to get a more stylised features description of the game (warning: Arcen has a sense of humour with everything they do, despite the things that happen in their games are far from being a joking matter, usually). As always, Arcen doesn’t like to stay in the box of established conventions and this game hints to being no exception. Despite all this, the game is still a full 4X title, which means this is not SimCity with 4X elements but a 4X game with SimCity-like elements. Just like City Builders, the game has simulated populations you need to oversee their needs like crime control, health, and pollution. However, unlike Civilization: Beyond Earth or Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, this title seems to take a page from the City Builder genre where the player expands out their settlements by placing buildings and districts as they sprawl out. ![]() Stars Beyond Reach is a turn-based, sci-fi themed, planetary scale 4X strategy game. Stars Beyond Reach was showcased in our List of Games you shouldn’t miss, and with the release fast approaching, we thought it was appropriate to get more insight on the game. We decided to ask Chris Park, the lead developer, a few questions to get a better grasp of the game. However, that wasn’t the case as the court rejected his bail plea on the grounds that it was ‘unmaintainable’ and that news really shook the family.Arcen Games latest title still in production, Stars Beyond Reach, is nearing release. ![]() Satish Maneshinde was approached, and he gave SRK the confidence that Aryan would be out sooner than expected. While the news of the arrest sent shock waves through the industry, SRK immediately sought legal advice on the matter dialling up some of the best experts in the country. ![]() The source revealed, “It didn’t dawn on them that this will go on for such a long time. So what exactly is happening behind the shiny marbled walls of Mannat? India Today spoke to a close friend of the family who revealed that both SRK and Gauri are devastated from the day the news broke. While a lot of reactions from big stars and SRK’s friends have been muted, a few names like director Sanjay Gupta, his one-time co-star Pooja Bhatt, and actor-politician Raj Babbar came out and spoke in Aryan’s favour. Unlike his superstar dad, he doesn’t attend award shows, hates being papped, and even made his social media page private a few years ago. Despite being one of the most recognised faces in the country, 23-year-old Aryan has primarily been a recluse and mostly kept a low profile. ![]()
