Presentation to the SteemNova Community
My name is and I am from Mexico. I've been playing
for almost three weeks and I've enjoyed the game a lot. As I'm writing this contribution I stand on the 91st place on the Leaderboards.
Ideas and Suggestions for SteemNova
In-Game Tutorial
Add a tutorial for new players.
Use pop up windows and arrows to guide step by step the basics of the game:
- How to recruit Officers.
- Build Metal and Crystal Mines.
- How energy and resources work in the game: The importance of Solar Power Plants.
- How to attack, prepare defenses and colonize new planets.
Example from Star Wars: The Old Republic:
Officers
Creation of original portraits, images and even personalities for Officers. I've seen that many Officers are using profile images from other games such as Assassin's Creed, Killzone and Halo. Something that could help the game a lot is to develop original characters to play the role of Officers. These Officers could be the ones explaining the game to new players in the tutorials.
In the future animations and voice could be added to the Officers. There is a game called Civilization VI that does a great job giving personality to global leaders that have a important role in the game.
Example:
King of Germany: Frederick Barbarossa in Civilization VI | Source
26th U.S. President: Theodore Roosevelt in Civilization VI | Source
More Animations on Planets and Buildings
One thing that could really help the game is the addition of more animations to planets and buildings. I know this is something that is very hard (specially for a browser game) but it can be developed overtime.
Buildings, ships and researches could have evoliving appearances and animations for every level and upgrade. Planets could have a unique look with the possibility to explore them like this:

Spend Resources When Queuing Buildings and Research Items
Add the possibility to save or to lock resources when queuing several buildings or research items. This way you will avoid spending resources on other things and assure the completion of these tasks.
This could help use the resources right away and have a better management of your investments. Also have less of these messages:
Miscellaneous Suggestions
- Percentage of growth in the weekly reports for players and alliances. Consider a reward for the players and/or alliances with the highest growth.
- A list where you can add or bookmark specific players. This will could help in the process of trading, spying or attacking.
- A list where we could see all the queued items on all planets. This list could help us identify progress and plan the next steps.
