What if, this game concept gets picked up by a commercial house? I mean, if GW take their heads out of their asses for a moment and hire a company to do this game in a proper way with proper missions a la XCom, Down of War 2, Jagged Alliance dotted with Battlefleet Gothic Armada or whatever it fits?

I could bet my gonads it would sell well enough.

It'd be a good indie niche title. But I can't see CM in its current form being a breakout market hit.

It's very much of the older style of 90s management games. Very micro. Very few animations or graphics. The joy in looking at a spreadsheet and converting it to imaginative fun isn't something a lot of gamers share.

My worry would be it would get picked up and then completely morphed into something unrecognizable, and unfluffy, as CM.

Are you saying CM is unfluffy? I feel something got lost in translation here.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Oh I see... well I wouldn't think a company trying to make CM would do something not CM, but I get what you mean. It take a single glance to recent gaming history to see how great projects and ideas have been made into rubbish cash grab crap.

I could see a remake of Chaos Gate with additonal Chapter Management mechanics. Basically XCOM with Wh40k overlay.

for now, I would even take a playable Chaos Gates that doesn't crash my game when I kill an heretic -_-

Bet someone's going to make that in X-com with the modding tools, but yes I would love to see a remake or at least updated version of Chaos Gate.

Whats wrong with the GOG version?  They usually do a good job testing their emulation for each game.

There's a GoG version now? Gotta get on that then.

I had entirely forgotten about that.

I'm pretty sure I've tried that one and it did not work, but I will check again tomorrow. Also, my crash occures (most time) in the exploding on the heretic, no plasma involed, just a bolt
