It's just the beginning!

Well folks, the day (and hour) have finally come - the "Gold Master" for Supreme Ruler 2010 is being sent off to our publisher as I type this. And the last few weeks have seemed longer than all the combined time since the project was first started (on February 15th, 2000!)

Through an incredible effort by our core team (Chris, Dax, David and myself) we have pulled off finishing up our first release version of SR2010. And now starts the debates among our long-time supporters and testers about what made it in, what didn't, and what's still to come. (Actually, the debate has already started, but I'm sure it will get even more intense!) While not everything came out of the oven according to the original recipe, I'm very proud of the result, and I think it is certainly time for the public to get their hands on what I believe is a landmark strategy title.

But there's more work to be done - not counting the demo version, which should be coming out shortly, we are also planning additional content to come soon as a free upgrade (more missions, future equipment types, feature upgrades). We have a lot of excitement about the future potential for the Supreme Ruler 2010 "engine", there are a lot of capabilities that we've only just started to scratch the surface of in the initial release.

And the biggest challenge may be getting the word out on this product - a lot of resellers and distributors consider serious strategy as a very small "niche" and are not willing to invest their shelf space in titles of this type. So if you don't see it on the shelf at your favorite software-o-matic store, make sure to bug them to get it in!

Keep a lookout - street date mid-May in North America!
