Making History: The Great War to Launch at National World War I Museum

[MuzzyDev]

I think we're still on track to release today.  One small glitch with the tutorial (which we will give away free like the demo).  If you have a registered game, the tutorial was letting players choose any nation, which doesn't work since the tutorial is specifically designed to use Austria Hungary!  Fixing it right now, then I think the release version will go live!

Let me take this time to offer a special thanks to the Groghead community for jumping in and being part of early access and giving us feedback on the game.

Made it down the launch at the WWI Museum (I could spend a week in that place   8)  )  Very informative presentation by the people from Muzzy Lane.  Explained a lot of the "why" and "how" behind the game and were very gracious fielding questions from the audience.  Had a lot of computers set up so people could try out the game.

I really didn't know much about the game before I went there but I very impressed with what Muzzy Lane has done with simulating the economic and diplomatic aspects of simulating WWI.  The game is very deep and there's a lot to keep an eye on while playing.  Bought a copy while I was there.

They did mention that a Cold War version of Making History is in the works so I think that's something definitely to look forward to.

I remember seeing something about a Cold War version in a long ago email, but I thought the email also said that ML was going to have another go at WWII first.  Wonder if they've reconsidered and are going to push out a Cold War version first?? O0

Don't recall any mention of re-doing WW2 but a Cold War version was definitely talked about.  No timeline given.

Thanks for coming to the event, Al!  Glad you enjoyed our presentation.  Did I get a chance to speak with you? 

We are planning to revisit WWII, as well as the Cold War.  We also have plans in the short term for some kind of expansion and/or DLC for TGW.

I attended your first session.  I'm the one who asked if Muzzy Lane could include in the game manual a bibliography of the sources you used.  I thought it was an impressive list.  Some books I wasn't too familiar with.  Unfortunately I couldn't stick around too long to play The Great War more.  If you recall the weather that day wasn't too great and I had a long trip back home.  Thanks again for a fine presentation.
