Schattenkrieg: The Soviet Union
Posted on April 21, 2010 | 1 CommentSince Schattenkrieg is set in an alternative history, there is a need to define what is different in this fork of time. What is the same and what is different needs to be established and it all has to make plausible sense, which can become a very daunting task. -

Re-imagining History Accurately
Posted on April 7, 2010 | 3 CommentsI know the title of this article sounds like an oxymoron; how can one accurately change history?

Schattenkrieg – Design Choices
Posted on February 24, 2010 | 7 CommentsAt the beginning of the year, Jonathan and I saw how much steam Nevermet had lost during the holidays so we brainstormed some ideas on how to feed the boiler so to speak. We concluded that first, the owners (which is Jonathan and I) needed to be excited and totally invested in whatever project(s) we undertook.
