Emergence

[hegemon]

even though all we know about this is its a game and the three nearly identicle pictures, I would hazard a guess that this is a starship based game, to be honest even though i love a good starship game, you've allready got ACTA why another, unless its more of an RPG type game then god only knows.

what do others think.

Maybe a Evo type game instead of ACTA style, or maybe something totally different?

Could be a starship combat game to go with their traveller license.

Not that I'll buy it.

Now a starship combat game to go with SpaceQuest would have been a different story...

Doesn't Mongoose have enough on it's hands trying to get the Evo games up and running? Not to mention their various RPGs, ACTA, etc.

I think it's really cool that Mongoose is continuing to be creative and designing new games. Why the heck not? Why else would you create a gaming company, except to create & publish games you would want to play. 8)

Yeah well you have to be able to support the games you make to..

One game does not necessarily consume the same resources as another.

Have to agree with you Shotgun. I am really disappointed by the whole Evo situation right now. I can understand that they want to make the product better and I have tried to stay optimistic, but they make it hard sometimes. With the Evo rules they have have a great game system with lots of potential, but it is being delayed to death. Here we are at the end of August, eight months after the release of BF: Evo and there have only been three waves of minis released with all the future production now being put "in a holding pattern."

Now they say that there will be a big announcement in the not too distant future. Does anyone else rememeber what their last "big announcement" was for SST? They made us wait for at least a couple of weeks to announce that the game would be going pre-painted (a good thing) and would be released in six months, which was four months ago.

I love your games guys, but damn if you don't make it hard.

Unless Mongoose has hired a new team just for this game (not likely), Emergence will use existing resources.

Traveller starships would be my guess.

Is it a good idea telling us about ANOTHER new line when you can't get your current stuff sorted? Love you guys, but you need to get your business plan sorted out.

The CTA and Evo teams have just one common member.

That makes sense, Matthew.

They just released ACtA 2 and odds are those fellows are in a more support method right now and aren't doing much in terms of development or the like for the game as of right now.

Getting them into another project for a while isn't a bad idea.

I think adding a sentence to the Emergence post about how this new starship game won't impede any development of the Evo games because they're essentially two different groups would help people like myself from jumping to conclusions.

I'm really excited about the future of BF Evo and SST Evo! I'll be sure to eat up a new starship game once I've played more ACtA and VaS!

[wry]Gee, and I thought it was a cool new skateboard miniatures game or a hi-tech crossbow. Go figure.[/wry] :wink:

 

[Blun-Tor the Hu-Man]

I'm a bit daft, but I can't find anything about what you fine gentlefolk are talking about. If you would be so kind as to enlighten this poor soul as to what "Emergence," is or where I might procure even the barest information available, I would be very grateful.

There are no details, it's just Matt teasing us.

pre-painted spaceships...

...of the Crossbow class? :wink:

prepainted Space Ships sound allot easier to me than other figures, or at least pre-assembled must be.
