Update on Game Design Process

RE: Update on Game Design Process
The ACW series (I assume you mean Petersburg) is being done by an independent team. I am working with John Tiller Software's artwork team. The artwork is really great for this game. Lots of unique images for the hussars for instance. Many variations of the National Guard units.

I have not seen the latest terrain updates that our team is working on. I just know that most folks go looking for a Mod anyway once the game comes out. Its impossible to please everyone when it comes to graphics because everyone has such different tastes in how the artwork should look.

I work on the historical part of the game. The only artwork I am involved in is the Situation PDFs that you see in the main folder and the campaign image maps that you see in the campaign front end.

The ACW guys did some great work on adding in color units. Frankly the 3D maps for the Petersburg game didnt really interest me. I much preferred the old Battleground hand painted maps. But its nice that they are giving the customers the option of two 3D maps.

This time around I put in a bid for the old B&W leader images to be replaced with color versions. Joe Amoral is taking about 60 B&W leader images and making a color picture for each. I was really impressed with his image for GB Boudet of the French army. I started adding in color images back in the Austerlitz game (or it might have been Leipzig). I am happy to say that this next game will have a nice variety of unit images. Whereas Marengo about about 60 images this game has over 240! I went overboard this time around but I know its going to be worth it. I am enjoying playtesting the battles and learning to pick out the individual hussar regiments by their colors .. instead of having ONE hussar image per Nation.
