I'm pleased to share the news that Autarca will carry SoW to completion. He'll build on the work MiNT did and bring us home with this one. He's got two completed games on Steam and prides himself on getting the job done.
As he unpacks current state of the game, he'll be able to provide timelines. We're likely looking at six months+, but won't know for sure for a couple w...

This was a tricky chapter to write. It is very psychological in nature and I'm keen to hear if it 'lands' for you. Also alludes to some serious abuse, though it i snot described in any detail.

Several new chapters for you, in addition to a much expanded Prologue tks to SKlaus and Ulver. I've included all to date for your convenience.
We are now seeking a replacement for MiNT. He's kindly put together a brief and an approx. budget and I've just posted the job here:
As you know, the 5th Oct deadline has been missed. Consequently, I've let MiNT know we will have to re-assign the game to a new programmer to take it home. I'm beyond reasonable but at this point, I no longer have faith that MiNT is able to get this done, no matter what he says. This is about as frustrating as it gets.
Given the complexity of the game, I've asked him to ...

Some images for the CMan game/novelisation plus an update from MiNT:
The 5th of October still looking good; no more errors, integrated stats, combat works, unit construction still be dumb but there’s still time, and currently working on priority list objectives.
I've been developing the novelisation for CMan-- the 2 part prologue is attached.
I've also been working on new vids with a mind to use them in both game and novelisation. Here's Pack 1, which does include some previously shared vids.
Here's a list:
Brand Tattoos TVC

So that's it. Either we have a release on the 5th from MiNT or we find a programm...
2019-09-27 23:02:08 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for my absence-- I've had a couple friends seek me, concerned that I might be having troubles. I assure you I'm fine. Real life put me on the road for most of September thus far, but I've also been waiting to swoop back with a download link for the SoW release.
That hasn't happened. In fact, MiNT and I have been having pretty serious conversations regarding project...
2019-09-26 20:59:14 +0000 UTC View PostOK, so SoW will not be released in August. Despite a commitment, we're letting you down again. MiNT had a health scare regarding a reaction to medication which landed him in hospital for over two weeks. I can confirm this as we spoke several times while he was there. He's just back home and I will discuss steps forward when he is able to do so.
Consequently, I acce...

MiNT and crew has been working hard behind the scenes and the short take is that they have now implemented the Minister and Priority List features. These are the key features that I think players have always been most interested in but couldn't be addressed until the foundation work was done. They now work-- and auto-populate as systems (they are NOT hard coded). This means we...
