baby arm Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 A little game you might have heard of was given the retrospective treatment at Edge, with contributions from Julian Gollop himself. The original demo was for a relatively modest, two player tactical game. MicroProse asked them to base the action on Earth and to expand on the original design to deliver something more in keeping with the other epic strategy games it already had on its roster.

Thorondor Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Very, very nice early days insider stuff there. Thanks for the tip, baby arm. You better believe X-Com refuses to die! :: I've been wondering, does anyone know what the Gollops are doing in the present day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 No idea. Last we heard Julian was producing a chess game for Ubisoft, but no news since then. The 600 000 figure is a lot more than Dave Ellis suggested. I think that would be a good figure even today, provided the budget was not too high. I fired off an e-mail to Edge seeking confirmation of the figure, because it wasn't a direct quote from Julian. Also, why are we the only ones not to get a response from him?
