GameWatcher.com has an interview posted today they did with Soren Johnson on Offworld Trading Company.
"GameWatcher: You’re describing Offworld Trading Company as an economic RTS, In some ways that gives us more questions than answers as to what the game actually is, how would you describe it to someone who has never heard of the game?
Soren Johnson: So, when I say it’s an economic RTS what I mean is that it very much plays out like an RTS, you can sit down with people and play a game in 30 minutes and have a really competitive experience that supports team-play as well as free-for-all. It’s very much a symmetrical strategy or RTS game. But of course you don’t build units, you don’t attack the other player, it’s about running a business and that’s a huge difference."
