I was only able to skim it, but it sounds like a good system. Like just about any strategy player, I’m leery of anything that smells of espionage, but this seems better than the way most games implement in where they are blowing up buildings and other annoying shit constantly.
Focusing instead on fabricating claims, damaging diplomatic reputation, sensor jamming, etc sounds more interesting and less annoying to me. The devil’s always in the details so we’ll see what it’s like to actually play, but this sounds pretty good for an espionage type system.
Today’s diary mostly shows off the art and process behind coming up with the cover for the game. It looks great, and has some fun details for the fan base to squee over.
Nah, just guesswork. It’s slated for 2019, and with the media which has been appearing, I’d guess Q2 or Q3 (I’d actually say Q1 or Q2, but I don’t want to disappoint myself, lol).
That’s a puzzler given they keep buying up developers. Hard to see how stepping on your own releases makes any sense when the very act of buying them surely is at some level for the very purpose of avoiding this.
