Hi, is there any plans to add any expansions to this when implemented or just the base game? curious.

...Wait...You say Nucleum is coming to BGA?

This would be amazing!
I love Nucleum but the solo mode is a bit too high maintenance for my taste and my group dislikes the game unfortunately! So I need it on BGA

And yes please, add the expansions!

The game is indeed in alpha since today (I think, might be yesterday?). A game I didn't expect here, seeing it's a pretty heavy monster.

Having said that, I love that it will be available if development goes well. Very good game, which doesn't hit the table enough due to how long it takes for our gaming group (4 players, rather slow players) and how long the setup for the solo game takes.

Usually only the base game gets implemented at first, and then sometimes expansions get added. But I assume the developer of the BGA version will communicate soon.

TY! I I'm so glad.unfortunately don't have access to alfa games...

You can ask the developer for access. And/or I could invite you to a game.

It 's very kindly from you,for the beginning I would prefer try it on a solo playthrough.
I ll try to contact développer .

Edit : could you tell me who is the person to contact ?

The developer seems to be this person: https://boardgamearena.com/player?id=88401979 .

However, most games here on BGA don't come with a solo mode, even if the official game has one. Certainly at first, when a game is still in the development stage, focus usually goes entirely to the multiplayer mode. So for Nucleum, (at the moment) there is no solo mode.

My offer to invite you to a game still stands. No obligation of course. And if we play a game, no worries about game speed. You can play at your own pace.

The game just moved to alpha and you already asking for expansions?
The publisher have just spent a significant amount of money to pay the developer. They now need to see how profitable the game would be on BGA. This will happen in 6+ months after the release (and the release is not tomorrow). This is quite weird to see this question for unreleased games. It's just not possible to evaluate if expansions will be of any profit so early before the release.
Even though some publishers might originally think about expansions but this decision might require months and even years to decide

I agree that too often there are people asking for expansions while the base game hasn't even hit BGA or isn't long around. I'm not a fan of such questions myself.

Having said that, most developments here happen by volunteer devs, not paid ones. So it's not certain the publisher of Nucleum has spent money, let alone a significant amount, to get Nucleum to BGA. Then again, I see you are a developer yourself (thanks for your work!), so your statement about the development of Nucleum probably is based on information you have.
