Looks pretty cool will check it out

If only it was 3D, but everything else looks really interesting.

Spore?

This is giving Distant Worlds vibe (which is a good thing).

At a certain complexity level my brain just shuts down. This looks amazing but also looks complicated as hell to learn. Are there decent tutorials?

I've been following this game for several years now (I am a Kickstarter backer), it's impressive how many different genre are combined in this game (while seemingly doing this in a manageable way).

I am looking forward to checking out the demo.

I tried the demo, couldn't figure out how to do anything, gave up. Bit too alpha for me at the moment, I'll try again when it's further along. The demo is very rough

How well does it work in proton?

Seems fun, might try it later.
