We're moving forwards as the campaign nears to a close. We've unlocked 7 Stretch/Social goals - and we expect a NEW "Update" to share some more awesome news about another "Reward" tier.
It's not like we are expecting a "Bait & Switch" but more that the design of a new expansion has "crystallized". As such we want to OFFER it to existing backers and maybe attract some new ones. We're trying to be as transparent, because even I was not aware that the design would come to fruition so soon.
I had been talking about it for months now with Mike and Stan - but some elements of the expansion still had not became concrete ... until now.
So if you are following the campaign, expect more exciting news about the game... and the twist in direction this "expandable" game is taking!
Cheers.
For those of you, my fellow designers, who have ever thought about developing an AI for your game, I can tell you from first hand experience that it's a.) a lot of work and b.) a labor of love. Morten Pedersen, of Automa Factory fame invited me to write a guest thread for his blog, which we'll post later this week. I'll circle back later and provide the URL.
Cheers,
Joe
