Plan for Arch "reconn" Stanton

Now broadcasting from Philadelphia! Got an apartment and the internet, but I've been taking my time with the job hunt.

As an update on my last post, Hamish has renamed his project at MoonPod and posted a Developer Diary for War Angels.

Meanwhile, I've placed my own top-down shooter design on the back burner, as it's gotten too complex for my own good. I've started work and design on a 4X style galactic conquest game, as it should be simpler to learn with, and I can get away with crappier graphics.

I will also be taking liberties with the Xs, since I think the genre has a lot of room for change. I won't be cribbing Sid Meier for my design doc as much as Kim Stanley Robinson and Iain M. Banks. At the moment I'm not even sure if there will be aliens or faster-than-light travel. Lots of internal conflict, solar systems as vast resources, megapoli floating at Lagrange Points.
