Why did you decide to make a space-strategy game?įirst of all I think that all developers would like to be in science fiction or fantasy games, but the publishers don't like to have too much fantasy or science fiction games without licences. We put in a lot more than was required to make it something that we can be proud of. It's some kind of self-development, a very personal project.
For all of the development team, especially for the core of the development team, this game is much more than a game. It's a good feeling because this is a game very close to our hearts. It must be a relief, after all that, to know the game is coming out soon? And then the project was cancelled, and we found a connection to HD and we finally started the game in the original, tactical form, not exploring. I wouldn't say that they never asked us about this game because they asked us, we told them 'No way', and they changed it. I think this is the most stupid name of human history! But okay, that happened. They lost the licence, then they changed the name to that stupid name. It is very, very hard to do something to put these things together, and when we finally finished putting these things together they decided to cancel the project because they had some financial problems. This 3D engine is not for that, this graphical system is not for that, this graphical system is for controlling one to ten units, not an unlimited number of units it's impossible, it was impossible. We had to fit in a lot of exploring elements like colonising and a lot of things. I never liked it too much because it was already a game, we already had some elements, it was already a universe with a story, and it had no connection to the Imperium Galactica series. First of all this game was Beyond, developed by a small group of people, then it was sold to CDV, then CDV thought it was a good idea to buy the licence for Imperium Galactica III and put it behind this game, which I didn't think was a good idea. What happened to the project known as Galaxy Andromeda? Sitting down with him in the European Space Centre last week, we talked about the long road to the present, mods, demos, control schemes, the game's appeal and the team's aspirations for the project. After going through three different iterations - including a rather unhappy union with the Imperium Galactica franchise - HD Interactive (with distribution partner Vivendi-Universal Games) is currently gearing up to release it - and although Nyul would probably rather be on holiday like the rest of the development team, he's clearly glad to be done. His game, Nexus - The Jupiter Incident, has been in development hell for a long time, and now it's ever so nearly out.
