HomeLan Fed's Enigma: Rising Tide Developer's Journal Part 2 offers further thoughts from Blake Hutchins of Tesseraction Games about progress on Engima: Rising Tide, their upcoming massively multiplayer game of naval warfare. Today's installment discusses some of the pre-production design decisions behind the project, including the reasons for settling on their seafaring World War II setting, their "cinematic" approach that "falls somewhere between 'hardcore simulation' and 'arcade,'" the pluses and minuses of pay-to-play, the alternate history they're creating, and more.
