Top 5 things GPG absolutely must NOT screw up in Supreme Commander 2!

I’m rarely critical of Supcom/FA and Chris Taylor’s work. So I figured it’s time to put my ugly cynical hat on…

Sticky: Life of a Newbie Game Developer

Hi all. Just wanted to give props and a shout out to Sorian, developer over at GPG on Demigod and the upcoming Supreme Commander 2. His blog is full of insights into the games design process (oh, and he even hinted that he might release an exclusive SupCom2 screenshot if we’re lucky ). Head on over to:

Quadv Live: Sir Loui vs Zock

Just a reminder, especially for you Supreme Commander fans. Deman (Zeus bless his soul) and Gowerly are doing what they do best (eww no not that, but the other thing!) tomorrow, live on Quadv. It’s a huge match folks. Possibly the two greatest Supcom jedis of all time, each a living legend in his own era, will clash in a five-match extravaganza. There can be only one.

Here are the details from the website:

Blabbing away…

I was chatting to a friend today after a game of TA, about some ideas concerning the future of RTS games (check out my messy notes if you haven’t already.) Anyway I actually started to openly blab on about some more ideas I have had recently and what I perceive to be flaws in current games like Starcraft, C&C, Supreme Commander and even TA.

I waffled on about balancing, UI concepts, features, multiplayer etc and came up with an interesting brainstorm which follows on from some of the multiplayer concepts proposed in my notes. I thought I’d just paste part of the chat log on this blog because I haven’t updated it recently.

So, go read the horribly edited Skype chat transcript here. If you dare!
