Updates, and a Look Ahead for the Genesys Project

Its been a little while since there has been updates, that does not mean that work on the Genesys Project has stopped, or even slowed down. We have been taking notes and results sent in, either directly or though the forms on TheGenesysProject.com. 2017 was a great year for the Genesys Project and literally hundreds of you have been involved and showed interest in the exactly what we are doing here. So lets take a look at what is going on and what is coming in the very near future.



First and foremost, we are preparing to move past the Open Beta which will conclude at the end of February to get ready to launch The Genesys Project later this year. Most specifically.....

1. There will be a need for specific playtesting, and this will be done by those that have shown interest, and been participating. More on this later, but emails will be sent out those interested in continuing to playtest and for future releases. Once the forums are up, there will be a forum for everyone, where playtesters will be allowed to talk about future products (no big secrets in this game, as we want everyones input).

2. The current plan is to release the game in the first half of the year, but depending upon quite a few different factors, this date is not in stone. The game comes first, as always, and yes it will include all three ages upon release.

3. Narrative Campaigns.... We will be getting more into the narrative of the game, and exactly how these apply to your normal games. I will give you a hint though...... Narrative Campaign events interact with normal gameplay (whether you are campaigning or not), by applying templates that alter or change the normal missions. An example is a Survival Narrative Event is where your factions are not fighting for territory, political goals, but for the survival of your entire race. Modifiers are applied over the top of normally rolled missions and you gain bonuses for playing a reduced point level against your opponent, but gain nothing if the mission is lost, and in fact may lose progression. Of course there will be more than just Survival Mode....... The first big Campaign is coming with the first release of the game, called Origins, which will move the story of the Genesys Project through the Ages.

4. Videos and Demo's. There are videos and demos of gameplay and even in house gaming that are being put together. So expect to see a lot more on this front as well.

I look forward to hearing from you, and I am working on contacting active playtesters, and those interested (by the questionnaire when you registered), to put together groups working on very specific needs for the games progression. 2018 is going to be a fantastic year for the game.
