It wasn't all that bad. I got my money's worth out of it fun wise. Far more than I did out of some of the games others here would deem "good" games

Over 1/3 off the funding now. 125k pounds out of 350k With the increasing press coverage more backers may show up.

Hope this gets some more funding soon. I'm very interested in seeing stretch goals

Did you unlock the secret achievements: "muscle ache the next morning" and "why did I think working out would be a good idea?"

Yes and no. You can set up a LAN game (Yay! LAN support!!!!!) and only add AI opponents. That way you roam around the strategic map and attack and defend against AI opponents. And if they are easy AI opponents you can take your time and learn the game. The normal AI beat me into a pulp the first battle. But I am still a bit overwhelmed by the game and haven't figured everything out yet - especially strengths and weaknesses of units.

Be prepared to be insulted

A bit of this and a bit of that. No game holding me for long at the moment.

The moment ShadySands backed the project, YouTube stopped working for me. edit: forgot: the GoG request thread is open for votes http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/satellite_reign_5_lives_studios

Ok here's the youtube link for the pitch video:

Funny detail: at least one of the devs from that new "syndicate" game is a backer of Satellite Reign

I'm on there, spamming the comments section

Percentages (read: the 1-100 range) is not a problem though. There are enough systems which use exactly that. There are after all more ways to run a pen and paper game than the d20 system. If a pen and paper version is made, and I feel its too early to be certain of it or to rule it out entirely, then most likely a small team will addapt one of the prelevant concepts of pen and paper rules to fit the spirit of the game. The important thing will be to create a ruleset that do the setting and its unique ideas justice, not to simulate every calculation the computer may be doing.

That game is way too complicated...

You probably were lying to him. But I got a better reward you can offer him: A night out on the town with the master himself: Rosbjerg Even if arranging that doesn't work out, you can always get him so drunk that he doesn't remember anything and then pretend

They are a grotesque. A parody on pretty much everything. If you look at them as anything but a grand rollercoster of immaturity, then you'll hate the game. If you look at them with a fascinated curiosity of just how far they can go without a soccer mom showing up at the devs' doorstep and shooting them, then its gold.

And he put you on snooze again?

Thats what generic rpg rules are for, right?

Weirder night - haven't slept either, really need to start drinking coffee... Learned important lesson: Don't ask Ros what he has done, when he is in a sharing mood.

And by editing your post like this, I can pretend you are talking about Saints Row and proceed to disagree with your assessment that the parody doesn't work. Furthermore, I can question your sanity for suggesting it could be anything but an over-the-top parody. *beams happily*

You'll still need to build satellites to launch once the nexus is finished.

Downloading the beta right now, Morgoth

There's worse fates. I am known to like goblins: http://melkathi.deviantart.com/art/Goblin-amp-gambler-381120322 and worse: http://melkathi.deviantart.com/art/Goblinesque-359822029

Thanks Wals. I think I'll never sleep again, too terrified that some crazy brainsurgeon turned modernist artist will come at night, open up my skull and draw a hex grid on my brain.

High traffic. They are working on it. A lot of people having trouble. But its to be expected. And at least I am not in a hurry.
