Hi there I've been working on this game for far too long and I wanted it to become this amazing game that would demonstrate to the world that we need to change our energy systems and fast...

Well I've drawn a line in the sand with it and I'm releasing what I have so far as an Alpha...

It's not complete but I think I need to get it out there and see what people think?

You can download the zipped Alpha here:

http://SaveTheSillyEarthlings.com

Requirements:
Windows or Mac
OpenGL or DX9+ systems
32+Mb VRAM
>= 1200 x 800 resolution

Go on see if you can save those silly Earthlings...

Kind Regards
Al

I wanted to like this game but it presents way too much, too fast. The learning curve isn't a curve, it's a cliff. Tooltips would be a good start, but even just starting out with a tutorial session where you manage just one region would be nice too.
Some audio feedback on actions would be great.

There may be a bug at the start where the money slowly increases while the game is paused, I'm not sure, I'm still left baffled at what I was doing. I also couldn't click on anything past turn 3.

Darn it lots to do how about a few games of cards while I sort this out...

I've created a new version...

Requirements a deck of cards and is multiplayer (1-6).

It is really hard to tell what everything does.  Perhaps include a brief walk through in the readme?  All the legal stuff doesn't help me play the game any.
