Universe Concepts

When we created the entire universe, we knew about what we wanted things to look like at the point that we are starting the game.

Then we talked about how we actually have the backstory leading to where things are.

Then we had to discuss that it is based on an alternate history, that way the game can take place in one hundred years from now but using technology that we probably won't have for the next three hundred years. I am just saying, we haven't started colonizing Mars yet.

Then we had to spend countless hours arguing back and forth about what should transpire to lead to where we are. There are of course many disagreements about "well, that wouldn't actually work." It doesn't have to work, it just has to sound good on paper. Thus when bureaucracy got involved with our game development.

Of course I cannot post what we actually have on our drawing board, because I do not want to ruin anything for future story development. And by future story development I mean stuff that we have planned out twenty years in advance. Our universe does not just expand into the future as the story continues on, but we also expand into the past with going back to things that did happen.

Now, one feature which we are going to use is dropping "editions". Instead of having first edition, releasing all sorts of stuff for first edition, and then suddenly jumping over to second edition and slowly working on catching other stuff up. Instead what we will have is years.

Of course the difficulty of this is that, with having multiple game types, the year releases need to fit across all the genres. So our first release, which, spoiler, 2105, will have the coverage on Tactical Wargame, Strategy Wargame, Card Game/Board Game, maybe iOS/Android/WX app, even Roleplaying if I have decided to work on that before our initial release. And anything we don't have up to this point would then get covered in some subsequent release, 2107 for instance.

Probably won't be releasing the Strategy Game until at least 2110 though, it really wouldn't fit in story wise before then... just saying.

So if this interests you then please join our community, and please donate (coming soon).
