Graphics Poll

Over the last year(s) quite some new graphics were added. Like the new portrait graphics and some new Vidcom graphics, like recently done for the Danger events.

Above we see a few examples you might recognize from in-game. These are all used for the Danger events. And yes they are AI assisted images. I noticed some discussion about this in the various forums for SE… So: time for a poll!

Note there are 3 questions this time, so don’t forget to scroll down and to select an option and press vote for each individual poll.

Recently new Vidcom art was added to SE for the Danger Events

How important is the old Art Fallback Setting in Prefs for you? (multiple answers possible)

In general: What do you think about using AI generated or assisted art?

Thanks you for your time! Its appreciated. Just remember that VR takes serious note of community preferences but that final decisions are always based on more factors than solely majority sentiment :)

Best wishes,

Vic

Shadow Empire Republica DLC announced

My publisher announced the upcoming Republica DLC yesterday! Hop over here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3645760/Shadow_Empire_Republica/

More info will be shared over the coming months (I have prepared content for publisher’s marketing department) and I am working as hard as I can to get it to the finish line.

Note that I am also working on a as-yet non-disclosed new Decisive Campaigns game and sometimes my available development time feels spread thin. That being said progress is solid on both upcoming products. But I will not yet mention any release dates.

For those of you who are still waiting on Naval Units I think I can safely say they will be included in the next thing coming after Republica. So yes, I did not forget you. It is just that my time is limited and I really really wanted to model politics in one of my games for once. Once next DC title and Republica are done I’ll be able to fully focus on the next SE release.

Thanks to everybody for continued feedback! We’ll be back soon with more information.

Best wishes,

Vic
