Cruise Ship Manager: Prologue - Maiden Voyage

Thee are some balance issues still that DEFINITELY need to be fixed before this launches but overall it's basically an updated version of it's predecessor and enjoyable. The lack of staff ai to clean is a big problem and I can find no rhyme or reason for it. Sometimes staff clean, but often they sit in their bed doing absolutely nothing with max stats, this forces you to micro manage literally the least fun pat of the game. Also the rate of decay, with no automated ai for staff cleaning, becomes a nightmare to keep up with. I sincerely hope this is re-balanced before launch cuz it almost makes the game unplayable for being such a minor simple thing to fix. Aside from this found lots of little minor bugs like windows staying open, things disappearing, flashing, or becoming unclickable. Thee's no easy way to review staff needs o assign them easily, thee are complications that seem unnecessary like having to click a bed and select clean or repair rather than just sending a crew member. You can't stack jobs, so you have to wait till they finish cleaning to assign them to clean something else. The list goes on and on. All that being said, I still enjoyed it and am just hopeful these are pe-launch problems and not reflective of the final game. But we shall see! It definitely has potential to be a lot of fun.

Cool

Good looking and future-looking game, fun gameplay, I'm sure to spend a little more time on it

I'd say it looks promising! The UI is clear and adorable looking (look at the snail, look at him). Do not, I repeat, DO NOT turn the music off. It'll water your crops and feed your family. Overall a chill and cute game. Even though I almost burned the whole ship down on my first voyage (it was hilarious). I had fun and I'd love to see more when it comes out.

Игра 'Cruise Ship Manager: Prologue - Maiden Voyage' представляет собой довольно интересный, хотя и короткий, взгляд на управление круизным лайнером. Пролог хорошо знакомит с базовыми механиками, такими как планирование маршрута, удовлетворение потребностей пассажиров и управление ресурсами. Визуально игра приятная, хоть и не хватает полировки. Интерфейс интуитивно понятен, а экономическая модель кажется достаточно глубокой, чтобы заинтересовать любителей экономических стратегий. Основная проблема пролога - его короткая продолжительность. Он оставляет ощущение незаконченности, и хочется увидеть больше возможностей и контента, который обещают в полной версии. Однако, для бесплатной демки, игра отлично справляется с задачей заинтересовать потенциальных покупателей. Если вам нравятся тайкуны и менеджеры, стоит попробовать. Это хороший пример того, что может предложить полная игра.

No mouse controls for camera (can zoom in but not move camera with mouse), Staff assignment is way more complicated than it needed to be (assign role on hire would be much better), battle with UI happened a lot, had dirty and broken rooms with seemingly no way to combat it (I send "patrols" there but nothing happened). Buying rations and oil for the ship was done blindly as I found no way to see how much I'd need (game prevented me from looking at cruise planner by the time I was buying resources). Could only build restaurant, club and cabins, yet even in the prologue version passengers required stuff that isn't unlockable. Overall prologue felt extremely clunky with poor controls and bad UI. It's a pass for sure, shame because the theme seemed fun.
