Next game?

[klzlueylx]

Mr Sousa! i heard SC is making their next episode, american civil war. Should we expect a new game of warplan series too? if so can the time and Theater be told ahead?

SC has a great engine that will do well with the Civil War. I am friends with Hubert and my projects don't follow what he does. Well except WW2. But WP is different.

The next project is the WP2 engine.

The first game is a fantasy wargame in WP style with RPG elements. It is not a 4x game but the ability to create any fantasy realm and play a wargame in it will be possible. Like D&D or Game of Thrones or Witcher. So it comes with an editor and customization of army units and the RPG element.

After that WP2 WW2 global.

After that either modern day global war/cold war simulation with nukes.

After that possible a space game which will be a new engine of course.

The fantasy game will iron out a lot of new mechanics for WP2. The fantasy game doesn't need to be as complex and can be flexible with rules and conditions. This way WP2 WW2 global will have an easier transition.

Too bad your fantasy project couldn't work with the GoT license.

I always thought that saga could have lent itself to an excellent TBS game.

If someone wants to make a scenario for GoT they can.

Will the global game have a MASSIVE map or will we be squashed like sardines like in the SC world at war game.

Mr Sousa stop fantasy and nuclear war, and make a 4X historical game it would be great. Or at least keep it in mind for the future.

It will be both maps combined with hopefully some extras. At Europe scale the Pacific map would be 4x larger and basically unplayable at a 2 week turn level. So it will keep the same scale. The SC2 global I believe is 4x smaller than my scale.

The issue with huge maps is the A.I. and pathfinding routines. Since SC2 global is the entire globe that is a lot of sea and land to search. WP2 will have loops to split the maps and resolve this issue.

Fantasy is first in the new WP2 engine model to work out the kinks and give more balance time for WP1 to flesh out.

Then is WP2.

Everything else will be after that.

The fantasy game is very exciting! I'd love to see a war of the ring or war of the lance scenario!

Can we expect a WW1 strategical game ?

[AlvaroSousa]

As of now it isn't on the schedule.
