August Update

Post by Marshall Ellis »

Hello all:

Just wanted to drop a note and let you know that we are doing some durability tests on the game. Trying to make sure that the combat system and the game engine are stable and also still adding revisions. Hopefully we can get some screen shots out soon but as of now, our graphics are draft quality only and wouldn't be too impressive.

Thank you all
Thank you

More interested in seeing some tidbits on how the the game will work.

I am confident that the final product will have good graphical touches, as I have seen in UV and LGAA, so just like Von Murrin, programmer art doesn't bother me either.

Any update about what is happening is better than no update. It lets us know that the project is still breathing. Thanks Marshall.

I say screenshots when they're ready and tidbits anytime. :)

Screenshots even of alpha versions are always useful. They tend to tell a lot about a game's scope. So I would love to see some.

Though I already know I won't get this game to run on my computer (UV would not load, most likely to video memory issues, then Napoleonic wars won't load either). Still I expect to buy the game and put it on my shelf till I get a new computer.

Hi Guys

Marshall and the rest of the development and design team have been at GenCon and we had major meetings about the game. The game is very far along and once we get the new graphics done we will release some screenshots.
