Now I know what happens in the game.
Alright! Makin' progress!
What other games does it vaguely resemble in terms of visuals? Is it like an updated alpha centauri with graphics of a level of quality compared to civ 5?
It's a real-time economic simulator, so it's unlikely to get compared to any turn-based 4X games.
Also, all of the graphics and UI are currently bare-bones placeholders (which is why we can't post screenshots) so it's too early to answer that question.
Is the music good? Grating? Is the music awful?
(See above re: bare-bones.) No music. There is very little glitz/glamour yet.
Are there annoying aspects of the interface that begin to expose a flaw in UI design after playing the game for a while?
(See above re: bare-bones.) The interface is placeholder, though after a few games it's "good enough". But it will likely change dramatically before release.
Shit like that goes into helping someone grasp the user experience in playing this thing.
All of the graphics, sounds, and UI are placeholders. I cannot answer those questions. I can just answer how the game plays out (see previous post) and whether I think it's fun or not (yes).

what's the interface like? you make it sound like an excel spreadsheet by serial malcontent 09/18/2014, 3:19pm PDT

It has graphics. They suck. They will get much better. by pinback 09/21/2014, 3:47pm PDT
