Writing a chronicle of PA's long journey

Didn't know you were french Read your article, it's a really, really good one. Well to be honest, Ashes of the singularity (which i've been testing since early access) is far from being the TA/PA/supcom killer i thought it would be. As opposed, i'm much more enthousiast about the new Homeworld
.

It definitly feels like a mix of Ground Control / supremme commander, even if obviously the game is not focused on gigantic battles ... much more tactical like GC, WIC .... But it definitly have the graphisms and seems to take advantage of relief as i would have liked this to be the case with PA. Now i can't stop dreaming of PA 2 running with such an impressive engine. Ashes of the Singularity could have been nice if devs wouldn't have this obvious aversion to strategic zoom (they want it from a whaoo effect perspective but don't want it from a gameplay perspective, thus refusing to introduce strategic icons and replacing all this piece of info with a ******* and useless minimap, plus all units look like the same). However lots of kuddos for your article, which would really deserved to be translated in English

Don't worry @doud I'm with you 100% of the way, you have no idea. And as for your compliments: thank you so much!

side note : Homeworld is basically the first game I ever played alongside starcraft (offered to me by my dad as a little kid). It's been my N°1 reference and I've been following Hardware .... errr ... deserts of Karak since the start. Remember the P.A.C.E. wallpaper thread?

Nice way to isolate the greater than 50% that played this game on steam and were shafted 60 dollars.
No really, I'm sure you'll emerge as the victors of this story.

You actually justify my post even more with your...comment :l

Planetary Annihilation: Chronicle of a Journey

I've gone ahead and used Tatsu's suggestion of "TheWrongCat's Tail". I've got a slot on the Wayward website with a preamble up already. First chapter still in progress. It's been slowed down a lot because I'm currently embroiled in a legal dispute which is sapping a lot of my free time.

OK

@cwarner7264, a progress I'm very interested.

Honest answer, Loki, is that I've had a load of other things which have had to take priority over writing this. It's something I want to do very much. I've assembled notes and an outline, but it may be a while before you see anything more on this. I'm not gaming very much at all these days, I just don't seem to have the time!

EDIT: You know what, on reflection, after this EU referendum is done (it's currently consuming a LOT of my time) I will set aside some more time to sit and write this. I'll keep this thread updated.

Pleased to be able to say that work has now begun in earnest on this once more. I had already completed a significant portion of the first chapter, which I now hope to have out in the next couple of weeks I'm now allocating time to this on a daily basis, so subsequent chapters ought to be much quicker off the press.

Chapter 1 is very much a background and scene-setting affair, and covers up to the end of the Kickstarter itself.

I'm very much hoping that people can submit feedback, improvements and any factual corrections as I go along. The eventual intention is to publish the whole lot together as one piece, so what gets posted initially may very well end up being revised, possibly several times, before reaching its final form.

So a 'Beta' stage for your article? Or is that Gamma?

Let me know if I should add anything to this:

Chapter 1 is done, and was submitted to https://waywardstrategist.com/ earlier this week for publication - keep an eye out!

ugh can't believe I backed this!

this "SOON" bullshit is making me so mad!

/S

up top man!

fine job right there!

it's crazy to me how much I can relate to what you're saying. I brought my account to zero to obtain my kickstarter pledge for what was finally a small sum but at the time was all I had.

Nice read nice to know other backers were limited to the low pledge tiers, I always assumed you were at least an alpha backer

Thank you, it was interesting seeing the kickstarter from another point of view. Can't wait until the next chapter.
