Sweet, another game by John! I love RTS games; cannot wait!

This guy is well talented. Worked at Koei for 1.5yrs after graduating, and already quit his job to develop for himself. His previous two games were really well polished and really good fun too. I'm really happy to buy this latest game from him, because I have full confidence in his abilities. He even attempted to diversify his "Red/Blue" universe into typing-genre (like Typing of the dead) but dropped it when he realised that it wasn't fun. So this guy sure knows when to continue and when to drop a dead rock.

You guys can ask me anything you want about the new game.

you might need to be a bit patient waiting for a gameplay video, my timeframe puts that about 2 weeks out.

I hope you guys have as much fun playing it (before Christmas!) as I did making it!

No questions yet. But I just wanna say that it looks terrific, and I wish you the best of luck in finishing it up, and to have a quick approval process so we can all enjoy it, which I'm sure we will. Great work!

I really love the design (Blue Defense and Blue Attack have pretty amazing design too IMO). Looking forward to playing!

I was wondering when you would come up with another great game. I can't wait to see this in action. I haven't listened to the podcast yet so these questions may be answered there.
Is there a campaign and skirmish modes?
How many units does each side have?
Will I finally get to pay Blue back for the earlier two games?
