An interview on GameShark chats with Brain Candy's Alexandre Avenard about Fray, their upcoming strategy game. The conversation provides a clarity on their plans for simultaneous turn-based gameplay, and their happiness that Frozen Synapse is a success using such a mechanic: "When we began the development on Fray, simultaneous turn-based was something very new to us as a game design choice, and researching the genre showed that very few games using this mechanic had been developed. Playing with our prototype, we knew we were onto something very fun, that could really please players, but we had no idea of how this type of game would be received. When Mode7 released their game, it was a relief, Frozen Synapse proved that players were still interested in turn based combat, and more importantly to us, the simultaneous aspect has been receiving very high praise. Frozen Synapse has proven that gamers are hungry for new gameplay, and it has definitely boosted our confidence in our game design choices."
