Re: Announcing release of Traders of Known Space

Gene,
Good suggestions. Some of these are ones we are pursuing, and some are not. Thanks again.
Dark,
TKS suffered from speed development. A number of the mechanics, economics, etc were made much simpler in the interest of speeding up development and coding. One reason we want to develop a larger commercial version of the game is to correct our own dissatisfactions with the game as well as those expressed by players and critics. We never liked the economic system for instance, and the end-game/early-game issues were things that bothered us as well. For what it is, TKS is a good game and a lot of fun. However, to compare it against a large scale game with a lot of story elements is like comparing Lunar Lander to a fully fledged game that involves a combat landing on a planet.
I hope the commercial version will address enough of the issues, and do so in an engaging enough way, tha t it is not merely another take on territory already well covered by others. We will see what comes of it.:)
Take care,
Jeremy
