To be honest for me, i wont say that sorta thing for atleast 2 years.



Also there is no new information here we have know for a year and a half that the next patch would be seeds and buildings. What we don't know is the actual date it is patched. So don't get your hopes up kids.

Its not really about the money.... making a game takes a lot of time and when one person does it it takes a really long time. + jatt plays games a lot so he is not working on it like 14 hours a day. The only real mistake jatt can be blamed for is not keeping 1.0 up while he worked on 2.0. bleh

So is seeding like your initial planet, then in order to colonize more you have to use ships and such?

Since you guys kept asking about buildings in the IRC. And since Jattenalle added what they look like in-game. Here are some quick upclose and personal renders of some of the buildings.
