Thanks to the additional revenue from our Steam launch I’m pleased to say that we’ve been able to hire a very experienced network and gameplay programmer. This will accelerate the process of getting multiplayer out, fixing bugs and allow for the inclusion of other minor improvements and features.
Going by the handle Westfaliah on the forums, our newest member is someone I first worked with in 1999 at Stainless Steel Studios on the RTS title Empire Earth and then later at Iron Lore where he came on to help with multiplayer. It is great to be working with him again and I hope you’ll join us in welcoming him to the team.
That’s awesome great to have someone else with such a massive background, Empire Earth was an amazing game, we actually spent a year at Uni playing it most weekends, it was superior to AoE 2 in every way. Actually IMHO probably the 3rd best RTS made outside of RoN and Total Annihilation.
