Hi Everyone!

This update is to let you guys know that we are making good progress on both the digital and the physical rewards for our Twilight Struggle project! I know last month’s update might have been a bit of a downer, as you read about delays on both the digital and physical fronts. So I’m happy to report this month that we’re going full steam ahead again! Here are a few specifics, to give you a sense of what we’ve accomplished of late:

Digital Version

The team at Playdek has finished with the engine architecture work that Gary wrote about last time, and are back to working on the game itself. Here’s a list of recent improvements:

Updated upper HUD with graphics for player avatars, hand details, DEFCON track, space race track, and turn track

Fixed numerous issues with cards in play, including tap/mouse over to view card (instead of double tap to zoom)

Sorted discard tray and removed trays for easier identification of specific card types

Map now wraps around when scrolled horizontally

Identified major issue that was causing incorrect AI module to be used in Unity builds

Reworked most of the in-game UI to be device friendly (for different aspect ratio devices)

Updated and added HUD artwork to current mock-ups

We’re looking for a new version shortly, with our first look at the upgraded AI. As a player, I can’t wait – this game is fun!

Physical Version

We’re starting to see some better throughput at the ports, and several of the items for the Collector’s Edition have now been manufactured and proofs sent to us. The only issue Tony has run into in terms of getting the higher-quality components made is that he was unable to get metal miniatures for the tracks that had good definition. So, price being about the same, he got us some nice Resin Miniatures for the CE. There’s not much else to tell you guys right now, but I thought you might like to see some pictures of a few of the CE components, so here you go:

Tony says we still look good for a July release on the CE and other physical components. I hope you guys like these samples. We’ll show you more – and get you details on how to modify your KS pledge – next month!
