Company News Tactical Simulations Interactive founded by SSI alumni

That's a very shitty logo, and someone did an even worst photoshop job with those black corners... sadly, I smell a cheap cash grab.

They don't have to be good at logos - as long as they're good at making games.

HQ version:

The I and S top does not line up in the HQ version and the S border is a different colour.

Oh noes they might have to hire a graphic designer! They're doomed!

You guys are funny. Seriously who gives a fuck about logos, besides marketing people? It's the game that matters.

a) that link should have led to tubgirl, what a wasted opportunity
b) we have nothing else to talk about

I'm marketing people.

It's not about the logo per se, but the structure they have. I want to know if this is something beyond two bros in a bar saying they tottlay should make their own SSI... and the logo is all I have.

 

[Jagged Appliance]

Colour me sceptical.

 

[Jaesun]

inb4 kickstarter for "spiritual successor" of Gold Box games.

I'd back the shit out of that. Granted Dungeon Craft is coming out.... someday. And that is free.

 

[FeelTheRads]

It's the game that matters.

Not even a hint about a game yet.
When there is, then we can talk about the logo of the game.

P.S. Pfft, felipe, this is obviously an Illustrator job not a Photoshop one. The misalignment by a couple of pixels between the lines screams of someone who didn't turn off align to pixel grid.

I hear ya - and I know marketing is your area of expertise. Didn't mean any offense. I just know what it's like to be a small startup with small resources - and sometimes everything can't be totally polished out of the gate. They might be starting as just a couple of guys until they get more funding and momentum. That's how a lot of companies start.

You will, when the 9 days are up, and we get a pre-revelation-countdown-countdown!

first i misread TSR and instantly remebered my beloved D&D second edition

 

[KingDinosaurGames]

Cash Grab or not, if they just modernize Pool of Radiance I would buy the shit out of that - I still play the original once a year.

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

a) yeah, I'm 55 years old. I don't know how to do that shit.

 

[Menckenstein]

Tentatively interested.

A late Sunday night/early Monday morning announcement is certainly a weird time.

Must've just received an eviction notice.

HQ version:

I... so... want to... get excited... must resist... the temptation... this just can't really turn out great... can it?!!

 

[Torrasque01]

They better not make shitty tablet games.

 

[Decado]

Why isn't this the first news post on the front page instead of Roguey's dumb bullshit?

ETA: In other words, why is his review pinned?

Because DU is trolling you, why the fuck do you think?

Calm down Francine.

 

[dragonbait]

I highly doubt they will make anything that could be even remotely be called shitty. These guys were at the top of their game + the industry's game in the 80's/90's Wargames/CRPG scene.

I have high hopes for their new project/s. Think positive thoughts, people. :D

 

[Tzaero]

Crossing my fingers here.

 

[evdk]

Calm down Francine.

Stop asking dumb questions first.

SSI went out of business for good reasons though.

David Shelley was partially responsible for the design of Secret of the Silver Blades and Countdown to Doomsday which a lot of people say are really terrible.

I understand why some folks don't like Secret of the Silver Blades as much as the others in the Pools series, as Secret has allot of combat. But I prefer Secret over Darkness any day. I prefer lower level adventures, and by the time the party gets to Darkness, the player characters are practically Gods with their stats and spells. Plus, those Umber Hulks crashing through the mine walls in Secret were just classic! Just my opinion.
