Thank You! Last month we asked you to give us your best screenshot from Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation . We are happy to say that we got some outstanding screenshots in return. But, there can only be one winner and so we had three people come together, including managing designer GGTheMachine, to help select the recipients of 1st and 2nd place. We will be reaching out

Development of any one feature takes time. Whilst there are a lot of things on the roadmap, we thought it would be a good idea if players get to influence which feature will be worked on next for the game. There are 10 features on the list and each one has engineering time in months associated with it. All of these features are planned in some way, but this is a chance to tell us which one you want to see come before the others. Choose wisely, because whichever feature is worked on fi

My biggest fear is that the Internet, which was meant to liberate ideas and groups, has inadvertently created the tools to discretely control information and empower tribalism the likes of which we have never seen before. Between the influence of advertisers and governments, we have seen a great deal of erosion of free speech already.
