There are certainly worse companies that could have gotten their hands on Relic & CoH Series.
Sega is in financial problems, but it has also been restructuring itself and focusing on new fronts.. I sure hope they are alive and well enough to both leave Relic alone as they finish CoH 2..
.. and manage publishing Godsrule

as for the other THQ titles I can't say as I haven't played them much..

Worth mentioning, Homeworld did not follow the buy of Relic, and it hasn't been sold yet.. :O

Free to Play, hah!
Casual, bah-humbug!
Browser based, smowser faced!

Nevertheless, that's what I and the game studio I work for have been working at for a while now. It's certainly a Browser Based & Free-to-Play, perhaps more midcore than it is casual, featuring an RTS themed battle system, pretty colors and lots of beards! It's called..


You start out by choosing between two rival factions, The Souls of Ascension (the new gods) or The Keepers of the Ancient (the old gods). After which you start setting up your village, and begin building an army worthy of yourself. (No tanks, sorry.. However, vikings with beards!)

With this army you fight over the control of territories in an RTS styled battle system. You can also combine your army with other players by joining/creating a clan in order to fight together. That said, I would love to see a Forgotten Hope Clan!


We're currently in Closed Beta, but will launch Open Beta not too far off now. If you're interested in trying it out and giving us a helping hand in making the game better, all feedback is welcome!

Chad is brilliant, so it's good to hear you guys will be using his animations

Phenomenal work on the Enfield..

.. I've been keeping an eye on this game for a bit, liking what I see so far

5.8 Million US Dollars..
and around 80.000 players willing to share their money for a space game, me myself included..

Looking forward to it!

Yeah, read it some time ago, it's brilliant..
That's how you do a employee handbook, proper!

And how they run the company is insane, and it's amazing it seems to work for them.
I really wouldn't mind experiencing it!

it's full! Don't worry, I'll work my way into the 22nd after some experience and I've worked out how the game works

You bet!

I have to pick a unit..
And I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.. D:

501st grunt work.. I think it's the safest place for me.. Looking forward to it!
