Yeah. Looks like RPS appreciates you going back to your (in)famous roots of space strategy :).

By the way - what have you been up to?
You guys are kinda neglecting the patch notes these days ;D...

Working hard on the non-battle parts of the game.

We only include changes in the patch notes if it's changes to stuff we've already released. :)

Although actually, there's been a ton of battle stuff and all that was neglected, too.  Whoops.  Just been pedal to the metal here.  We will probably have a big mass of people added in this evening, knock on wood, but we'll just kind of see.  Things are coming on extremely well, in my opinion, but the GUI stuff really takes a long time, as does all the model shifting/expansion Keith has been doing.

I'm glad he mentioned Shattered Haven, that game is really underrated.

I'm stoked by this article.

Also, the Quinns' writeup of their AI War experience is hilarious.

It was a running joke at RPS for years about him not having enough iron, heh.  They never did get around to part II, and people bugged them about that for years, too.  I loved that thing.

Theres also nothing terrible in the comments. :D

That is always a relief, and amazing, heh.  I don't read the comments on articles like that, because it often will wreck my productivity for a whole day if you know what I mean.

As the article itself hints at, SPACE strategy + RTS = good in most playbooks.
Life is short. Have fun.
