Sneak Peek: The Last Federation
« on: October 21, 2013, 09:53:05 am »
Original: http://christophermpark.blogspot.com/2013/10/sneak-peek-last-federation.html


We're always keeping busy here at Arcen, and we want to show you a bit of what we're working on now.

The Last Federation is a space-based mix of strategy and tactics in which you control a small mercenary fleet on an unusual mission: the formation of the first and last solar federation.  Undertake mercenary contracts, fight pirates, customize ships, research technologies, and use your growing bargaining power to strong-arm planetary governments into doing your will.  Battles are quick and vicious, and, like Bionic Dues, the game is easy to pick up and play in quick bursts.

Yours is a very personal mission: not even your own crew knows your true intentions.

We're expecting a private alpha in about a month, and then a general release probably in January.  We look forward to sharing more about it with you soon!

Will this be real time or turn based?

"strong arming?" would be neat to play a leader whose alignment is ambiguous

:)  WooHoo!!
Yes!!!!!!!

-Teal   

(I like the 'Last Federation' moniker better than StarPort 28, i mean StarPort sounds cool, just not quite as cool as 'The Last Federation'!!  :)   Nice graphics!  I am looking forward to this one! Hopefully i can contribute more than i did for BD, which is really nice, but this is space!!!  :)

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around what this is after reading the description.  Sounds potentially pretty cool though.

This sounds like something right up my alley (unlike well.. everything you guys have done since AI War, even though I bought it all). Chalk me up for an alpha tester when that is available.
