Wow, it's a real showpiece for the power of Blitzmax. There's a lot more moving onscreen than I thought was possible.
As a concept the gameplay should be about mind numbingly repetitive as it gets, but the excellent attention to detail and little gameplay tweaks do keep the interest up. Also I did laugh at the image of pocket-lining serial liar Dick Cheney flying about in the Red Baron's plane.
And oooh, controversy! I doubt Blitz Research want to touch this one with a barge pole, but to be fair that'll be because the blurb labelled an entire county as evil. Whether it reffered to the US, Isreal or anywhere I believe Blitz would have removed it from the front page rather than risk offense.
It was obviously tongue in cheek, but a depressingly huge portion of the population cannot laugh at itself. ESPECIALLY where the virtue of the west is concerned. Remember, we're the good guys, spreading love and happiness wherever we go. Claims that the US and UK have essentially bent the 3rd world over and shafted it for the last 100 years are obviously MAD conspiracies perpetrated by TEH EVIL LIBERALIST MEDIA!
Ahem, anyway, keep your chin up, I'm certain you'll have a fair amount of unpleasent e-mail over this. Looking forward to your next project, hope it gets a warmer reception than this one.
