The History of Conquest

Update #4 · May 21, 2012 · 5 comments

A lot of people have been asking about the odd track in which Conquest has taken to get to where we are today.

Eric sits down and let's it all hang out in the discussion about Conquest history, and his acquiring a really nice watch !

And for those that never experienced the original, you can still pick up the 40mg demo of it here:

      Starlancer was a different project, and the team is still steaming about that crappy box change in the last 2 weeks before shipping. One day, maybe I will write a book....

      No doubt Scott, no doubt.

      First they ask, what are your USPs.....Unique selling points, then they cut them when you are getting too close to launch etc.

      Just a bizzare world in which games are created, at least the larger games on a big publisher level.

      Fascinating.

      I must say, if anything testifies to the fact that upper echelon administrators in Big Business know absolutely NOTHING about the industries which they`re in, this does: "Yeah, sure we`ll publish Conquest: Frontier Wars. Just remove the Admiral system."

      Excuse me?!? REMOVE THE ADMIRAL SYSTEM FROM CONQUEST: FRONTIER WARS?!X! **Thats the BLEEPing game!

      (shakes tyrannical head in disbelief)

      In any event, thanks for sharing that history (!).
