Streamlining done right - a lot of today's computer game companies could learn a thing or two from Deadlock!

Previous to Deadlock I had been playing a computer game called Empire Deluxe, which was just a world conquest game without any theme or character to it.

Then the wife and I had two kids in quick succes...

I didn't finish all of Deadlock II's campaigns, so i'm not sure of all the canon that was established...

Right now I don't know how far this project is going to go, as I don't really have the bandwidth to dedicate to a project of that magnitude.
