I finished up my initial beta build of the DC3 Engine. I am now going to test it over the coming months with one or two potential new designers who are interested in teaming up with VR Designs to make their own Decisive Campaigns games. We’ll have to see how this will be going since it is unexplored territory for me, but this might very well result in having a new Decisive Campaigns quicker than previously planned. Will keep you all posted on if this new teamwork approach is working well. It will probably be a few months before we can say if this will work out for everybody involved.
I am spending most of my time on the new mystery project “workname Empire”. This is proceeding nicely and an artdirector has just been signed on. Work on the GUI and the campaign should occupy me the coming months here. I already wrote the storyline for the first 5 scenarios (of about 18) and will now implement them first for some internal alpha testing and seeing if it works, is fun and is interesting. It was nice to do some story writing for a change, but will have to see if my internal and business partners agree here. Let’s just say that I am aiming to make the campaign an interesting blend between a wargame and an interactive story.
Furthermore I hope to soon promote the public beta’s for Warsaw To Paris, Case Blue and Advanced Tactics Gold to gold status. If you are playing one of the beta’s, especially on windows8, please report your findings here or on the Matrix Games forums.
Enjoy the summer all!
Best regards,
Vic
