We have huge plans for PU (I’m thinking I shouldn’t use that acronym). It has required many dozens of plans and documents to explain its direction. Unfortunately I’m not going to reveal too much at this moment, but maybe a little more than you already know. There’s one thing I’d like to clear up, however. It is NOT a pretty fantasy/medieval turn-based RPG. I could count all the grass blades in my sight and the amount of games in such genre will still outnumber them. Project Utopia will be a futuristic game with nothing more than what is scientifically possible. You won’t be playing humans, either.

That’s enough for now. ;) I’ll reveal more as time progresses. Not to alienate your hopes (NPI), but Project Utopia is still in very early stages. The screenshots may look nice, but graphics are only a tiny fraction of the battle. Also, progress will be extremely slow unless we can find more people. Even then, I’m not working on it full time. What will see the project to its finish is our sheer amount of determination.

On a different note, I’d like to remind everyone about the next Game Republic event. It will be held in Leeds on the 12th of January, the subject being “The future of AI”. Unless my plans get screwed somehow, I will be attending the event. So if you’re into that kind of stuff and live in Yorkshire, I recommend you pop along and check it out. More details to follow.
