From the creators of AI War: Fleet Command comes an all-new grand strategy title with turn-based tactical combat, set in a deep simulation of an entire solar system and its billions of inhabitants. You are the last of a murdered race, determined to unify or destroy the 8 others.
Um... [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcengames/ai-war-ii-0/]wow[/url]? Folks are absolutely amazing in their support, and I'm just agog at this. I'm going to be out most of the weekend, but I just wanted to say thanks in advance if we hit any stretch goals before Monday. At the moment we seem likely to hit the stretch goal for new music sooner than later.
So, other stuff -- first I'd like to share one new video with you:
[b]So just what is this "AI War" thing, and why should you be excited about it?[/b]
Hopefully [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcengames/ai-war-ii-0/]the kickstarter campaign[/url] page answers that question, in a general sense at least. ;) But prior to launching this campaign I was working on this video, and I finally finished editing it today (with Pablo's help cleaning up some unfortunately peaky audio because my mic gain was off), so I thought I'd share it.

If you're wanting to explain to someone first what this game [i]is[/i], then why it's frickin awesome, maybe this video will help. Or maybe I'm just longwinded -- 9 minutes is pretty concise for a game like this, though. :)
[b]First Stretch Goal: Soundtrack![/b]
So... right! We're funded. :) Now we're working on the first stretch goal off our list:

[b]Up Next[/b]
Next week I expect to release a video actually showing combat, and some other cool visual effects, and we'll show you more of the GUI, and Pablo has a video for you, and Keith has some written updates...
Busy times, in the best sense. :)
I'm personally not going to be around much this weekend because I'm both trying to have a better work/life balance in general and also we're celebrating my mom's birthday, but I'll be back in force on Monday. I'll peek in some over the weekend, of course, and I imagine Keith will be around some Saturday off and on. But just so you don't wonder where we are if we're quieter than usual.
Thanks again for all your support!
Best,
Chris
