I really liked the Demo, can't wait for more! I have two question though:
1) what do you plan on doing with the patent system?
2) are we going to get to use any part of the tech tree in the demo?
Hello! Many thanks for playing! To answer your questions:
1) Patents are one of many ways to earn money in the game. During missions, Scientists bring back samples and discover new scientific interests that they turn into patents. Once set up and published, your patent will provide a monthly earning to sustain your initiative.
2) Yes, we plan to add some research options from the Tech Tree in the demo, but we haven't defined which ones yet :)
