Gaming technology - to life
Chris Taylor, known to the world by the igrohits Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander, revealed to the world his new development, which so far has the working name Project Mercury. The gaming technology that underlies the strategic zoom. For the first time, this technology was, if I am not mistaken, applied in the game MAX 2, released in the 1998th year. Chris, however, squeezed everything out of it and, thanks to him, now the "classic" RTS games cause a feeling of claustrophobia, locked in a "small screen".
And now Chris proposes to use this technology on the "desktop", calling it Infinite Desktop. The project is best described by its author:
As you can see from the video, this project is going as a base for modding tools for the next game of Chris and his studio Gas Powered Games. The game is called Wildman, is an ARPG, with elements of RTS. In addition to this, progress in the game will be accompanied by progress in time and development in technologies like “Civilization”. In the next video, Chris paints the concept of the game, his vision of how he is going to combine ARPG and RTS.

In numerous interviews that can be easily found on the Internet, for example, an interview in the Matt chat program, Chris tells about the difficult situation of his studio in the fight against publishers for contracts, about the canceled Kings and Castles, and other things of his life.
If the platform or game is interested, then anyone can join the Wildman crowdfunding project on a kickstarter. At the moment, the project has collected a little less than 400k with a stated goal of 1.1 million dollars. Well, tell friends and acquaintances.
