So how good of a pc will I a need? I just looked at the concept video, and the planets looked impressive. If I bought my rig this year, do you think I'd be able to run it?

I think we're aiming for it to run decently on modern computers, but modern computers are constantly improving... I assume it will run fine on a computer bought now, it will just work better the more recent the computer is, like most games. Of course, that's discounting the possibility of a platform change. On that subject, I don't know what we'll do if iPads (and the CopyPads) dominate computer... Computer-ing in the near future. Would we switch, or would that mean ditching our current progress? (Programming-wise, that is, I don't think our CCs oblige us to use keyboards, since it's mainly GUIs)

In my humble opinion, it would probably better to stick to PC.

Because we planned to make it for PCs, it's probably what will happen.

Of course, modders reading this in the future when there's something playable could help by porting the game to other platforms. *Wink*
