It’s my day off so I’m not working on AI today. But I have a new, better game anyway. It’s called Elemental modding and it’s taken over my life. Let me walk you through this so you can see what I mean: So you could imagine scenarios where someone might make a Warlords mod or a Master of Magic mod or what have you with just the included editors and some XML. So that’s what I’m p... [read more]

Sunday morning random thoughts
Having spent the day “play testing” the pre-beta 3 build I’ve had some thoughts on gameplay that I’d be interested in y’alls opinions. In no particular order: Interesting Choices. Being forced to spend essence to build a city is not a choice interesting or not. I’m inclined to find some other use to revive land rather than forcing users to use it to effectively build a town. That is, we’d let the player build cities on the foresaken land. Tha... [read more]

Elemental: Beta 3 High Level Preview
I’ll be going into much greater detail of Beta 3 as we get closer. It’s scheduled for next week. Let me first assure you that Beta 3 will NOT be very fun. I keep trying to warn people that there is a reason why Stardock betas are outlawed by the Geneva conventions. Survivors of previous Stardock betas can attest to this. The reason why our final games end up doing so well is because the beta process forces us to jettison weak and bad ideas prior to the game being unleashed on the public. ... [read more]

For a lot of users, Beta 2-B is going to feel like several steps backwards in terms of playability and fun. We apologize in advance for that. I myself have found the pre-beta 2b builds to be really painful and unfun so you have been warned. The beta should be up tonight for those users already in the beta group. Here are some of the things we’re looking for from the beta group: Suggestions and ideas on how you would like to manage spells. We’re working on this interna... [read more]

Brad’s June Elemental flame thread
We’re getting close Elemental will be released on August 24th. Our “gold” date is August 4th. Our goal is to have the "game” basically done by July 16th. The remaining time will be spent polishing, balancing, tweaking and adding player suggested feedback. We’ll categorize that feedback on things that we think are fun or interesting enough to get into the “gold” version (the version that comes in the box) and then things we’ll make available on release date (the August 24th ed...

The Limited Edition of Elemental comes with a lot of cool stuff including a big canvas map, a poster, a fairly good sized dragon pewter piece. But it also comes with something particularly special: The Hiergamenon. This is a kind of encyclopedia to the world but told from the point of view of a collection of historical figures from Elemental’s past. To get an idea of what it is like, here are some pictures of the pages. The paperback book comes with the Limited Edition and is around 16... [read more]
