A trailer video that includes more gameplay footage and less Games2Gether coverage would be a good idea. The existing trailer only has around 40 seconds of game coverage. I have the feeling this game has a lot of potential, but I got that impression after reading quite a bit of material on the forums and interviews. Even with what I know, I still feel like I don't REALLY know a lot about the game or its mechanics. I do feel like a dev video or a more indepth trailer showing some of the mechanics would go along way toward spreading interest. A lot of people I'm hearing from aren't sure what to make of some of the in-game systems right now, including how combat is going to really work.

Precisely! I've learn a lot more from the forums but a lot of people won't go that far at least not until they have seen some more game footage. That's why I asked for new trailer/s cause these have bigger effect than explaining with words how good the game is going to be.

I started a thread on the SoaSE / Stardock forums several days ago with a link to this site. I thought the same.

Great! I feel like I'm going to have a lot more fun playing ES than Soase. The diversity ES seems to have in it is beyond anything Soase can offer. I'm sure a lot of people will find out the same for themselves.

Thats what brought me here, thanks!!

Would you mind providing a link to that german forum? I might get involved there myself.



Is anybody here familiar with the website TV Tropes? If yes, I'm thinking about starting a Trope page for ES to help spread the work, but I'm not really sure where to start.

It should work, the more sites we post in and the more gameplay there is to show the better the effect. Me and several friends posted the trailer today in about 10 game forums, among these Relic's forums, Bethesda's, Egosoft's, PCgamer, etc. I've instructed everybody to keep those threads updated so when the new trailer/s come out they will be given links to and the indoctrination can continue with full power

Jokes aside we can really show support to Amplitude Studios that way, without any serious effort on our side.

I think we need a new trailer that shows off only gameplay

poor amp they have a lot to do, making games is no a vaction. And there is a problem showing off unfhished things, becuse they chagne and dont realy show the game. when that is said hell give me more!!!!!!

I say ... we chain them at their desks and feed them cookies!!!! ;-)

I want to ask if you guys are working on a new gameplay trailer and if yes if we can expect it anytime soon. I plan to start creating Endless Space threads in other game forums (will ask friends to do the same) to attract more people to the game, I know Amplitude has its own PR, advertisement etc. but we as a community can spread the word too. ES is going to be great and the more people find out about it the better

So if no video is on the way I'm going to post links to the first trailer and to this forum as well, as surprisingly google searches of "endless space game" link to everywhere else but to this forum.

A video with more gameplay would be nice, as that's what people would be looking out to see first, but the first trailer will do for the time being so start spreading the word guys! I myself learned about ES from a comment at gametrailers. Post the video in game forums you are registered to, in clan forums, etc. You know how it works, somebody will see the game, like it, and then tell his friends: "Hey you know what a cool game I saw the trailer of yesterday...". What Amplitude does by paying for advertisement we can do for free even if it is much smaller in scale.

Just wanted to note that today the forum's 100th thread was started, which is quite an accomplishment considering how young it is.

Hooray for quick growth! May the fan base here continue to grow!

There is a preview in a French PC-gamer magazine, Canard PC. I think it can attract many people

I've just read the preview, and I'm more excited than ever !



The topic of the game at CanardPC.com : http://forum.canardpc.com/threads/66133-Endless-Space-4X-fran%C3%A7ais-ambitieux-au-tour-par-tour.-MOO2-meats-Civilization-%21

A question for the devs, do you guys have some other media appearances (similar to that in spacesector) planned for the next weeks?

And I know I'm getting annoying by asking for trailers and stuff, but this is important and attracts a lot of attention, also in between the trailers it would be nice to have screenshots and art released more often, these being less time-consuming.

Hi Raptor,

We have a couple of interviews being prepared on several websites + some print coverage that came out in France and coming soon.

Concerning the trailer, we're working on one (those babies are time-consuming), but it won't be ready just yet.

Finally, we're working on some new art and screens we'll be releasing very soon, humm I teased on a 3rd faction right, we'll soon give more info on that

Great news, thank you!

Has this been referenced on Civ fanatics yet? I only found this game via google search for 4x strategy...

Don't know, I don't have a registration there but if you are registered please start a thread about ES!

Ha ha - I just did

Publicity and advertisement is good.



Word of mouth (so long as it's positive) is even better!



These are good days.
