    "Project inception"? Is this in anyway related to the twitter handle? Did system dig up an old thread again?

    Think it was just reassuring us they work as a team. However, with all the stuff I see splattered on my screen in ns2 I think we know who worked for who. ;)

    Normally I don't bump UWE blog posts as for now, they end up as threads on the NS2 forums. Generally that is inappropriate as people misunderstand them to be NS2 related. One day this will be fixed :)

    I read that UWE has now started their next game. It will run on consoles, and maybe tablets/phones. Therefore UWE must be aiming for a large target audience to really rake some money in. They feel a freedom no longer being constrained to the NS universe. There may or may not of been some squabbles over small petty things such as how the artist want the game to look and how the engineers can get the game to look. In the end though, they solved their interests and are pleased with the results. I am assuming this is a new modified spark engine to work on lower powered devices.

    It appears you guys will be making full use of Oliver Franzke's talk last month.

    Nope... This is fairly wide of the mark! :D. Through the Postmortem Microtalk program, and our occasional blog post, UWE likes to share our thoughts about game development. These thoughts are just my interpretation of seeing what has gone in various projects, both Unknown Worlds and other. It does not specifically hint at anything Unknown Worlds is or is not doing.

    You can find out what we are doing by following the feeds I linked in my reply to @F0rdPrefect above. We are an open developer, and we won't hide things from you. At the moment, lots of stuff is happening. NS2 stuff, not NS2 stuff, Spark stuff, not Spark stuff. We can't wait to share it with you over the coming months.

    I'm not active in social networks, but I created a twitter handle just for the reinforced reward ;)

    Of course I am. You made the most awesome game ever. (You see, expectations for the future are kinda high now. But it's your own fault...)

    I am just trying to make your general hints into specific hints.

    @hugh, maybe you should manage an email mailing list for such things too.

    Could be wrong here, but I think it just means "the inception of a project"... not that the name of the project is "inception".

    Typo of the highest degree. I clearly fail at writing at 4AM.

    Edit: I'm hoping for a sequel to this:

    Having followed a number of the devs on twitter it looks like UWE is doing something with Unity as well as with Spark... so awesome.

    Also, "Project Inception" in capital letters, and the phrasing "at Project Inception" implies that the project's name is actually inception? Right? Right?
