That is a wild song to sing in grade school!

Yeah you usually do it once per project and it's done at the very, very end. It's a really nice moment to see everything come together.

I do it myself. I'm certain there are good algorithms, but I really enjoy working the puzzle manually and, when possible, making something that is pleasing. That's a little funny of course (the sprues will be thrown away!), but I suppose there's pleasure even in short lived things.

I should have been clearer; it's in private alpha. Should be public soon.

It's such a neat period. I'd love to do an early-modern game sometime. However, I think my dance card is full for the next few years. We'll see how things look after I finish the next couple of big projects!

In some respects the answer doesn't matter. I'm still going to do my best to finish AIT and I'm cooking up another massive project right after that's finished. But, this performance has huge ramifications for how Drew and I think about our company and its future. I suppose we'll know soon.

Drew and I know that there's a group of 3 to 5 thousand players out there who like our stuff and want to see more historical games. I thank my lucky stars every day for their support. The question of this campaign is: who else is there?

In short, this is not the kind of campaign I like running. But, Drew and I are trying to make the best of it. This is a chance to show our games to a wide audience and to let folks see them not as works-in-progress, but as finished games. Want to learn about them? Read any number of reviews.
