This last week or so has been mostly the Kickstarter campaign and the media work attached to it. We've had a few articles written about Barons of the Galaxy and so far there's been a good response to the campaign.
The other thing we have been working on is the manual setup of the Sol System. In the game the Sol system is earth and the 9 planets and can be considered the starter zone. In the Sol System there are no elections for government and the cities are set in stone. The population don't move much and the demand on all the products is regulated so they cannot stray very far from a baseline. All the resources have been made pretty balanced and pretty strict in terms of their values, as in, not much variation from very low number to very high numbers. This system can survive and be stable even if there are no players there.
We have been manually placing the cities and resources in the Sol System and are almost finished. Then we will code the system to regulate the Demand, the population, and insure cities can't crumble. We might put in the actual game turn timer also. When these are in place the game can actually begin Alpha testing with registered website users. The only things missing are the event system and the Chat rooms. We would love to get the game Alpha ready by the time Kickstarter ends on March 8th.
