Space Haven vs. Meeple Station (bad timing?)

[McRib]

Hello Dev and Alex,

since you try to release the game very near a another Space Colony game what are you planning on making different compare to Space Haven? The Co-Multiplayer is a good idea but will it be ready?

The players will always compare both games and than make a opinion like "go for that game that is better. "

In this market there is no second chance if the release goes wrong you lose. Keep that in mind.

Also dont try to release it to early in EA or you can end up like Spacebase DF9 https://store.steampowered.com/app/246090/Spacebase_DF9/


Good luck

Let's take for example SimAirport and Airport CEO, which would be quite analogous. After both games released (in EA) it started like you say with comparing, but unlike you say, not always and what was on the release day doesn't matter that much now, but how both of them progressed since. Many of the same people have and play both games and they recommend both of them, so it doesn't need to be "go for that game, because this one is worse". And neither of them have multiplayer.

At this time, there is no comparison. Meeple Station will be released this month in some sort of playable state. Space Haven, although it looks impressive, WILL HAVE a kick starter in Feb/March. If the kick starter is successful, you'll get a demo 2 weeks later. You're comparing apples to vapor
