With less than 2 days to go the pressure is on for KING Art Games to make their dream of a “new vision for classic turn-based strategy games” a crowd-funded reality.

It’s a busy week and there are quite a few projects that people have contacted me about that aren’t included, even though I’m interested in them.

There’s another genre close to their hearts and that’s where Battle Worlds: Kronos enters: The time wasn’t right for a resurrection of classic turn-based strategy, but now we believe the world is ready. Having watched the Kickstarter video, I do believe I am ready and you may find that you are too. (Read More)
