quickchargegames.comInteresting premise.

This is a really cool concept. The idea of having the game running on a host system with players connecting through their own devices is gold. Having the host system capable of serving player clients through browser connections is also pretty clever. I look forward to watching this project evolve further.

Thanks! We're hoping to have a preliminary video soon, and we do have a lot of really nice art for the game. The gameplay is functional, but we're still working on getting the initial scenarios tuned and fun.
I've been so close to the game for so long that it's hard for me to get a good perspective on it at this point, but when I sat down and actually played it with my brother, who had never seen it, we had a lot of fun. :)

Is there no more info than just this vague article?

There's tons more info on the blog. The article has links. What do you want to know?
More importantly, what details should we have added to the article? My skills are in programming and game design, not marketing, unfortunately.

Soon: A Kickstarter for a A Steampunk.....

We plan to have an alpha release right after the Kickstarter. The game is playable now, but could be a lot better. We just need funding to pay for more art and content.
Alpha is alpha, of course, but we're only looking at about three months more work to have an initial release of the product.
EDIT: TIL the mobile Reddit web page won't tell you that you've posted a comment, and that if you click more than once it will post the same comment again and again...

I remember seeing something about this a few years ago. When does the KS launch? I'm a mobile UX designer and avid board game enthusiast who would love to get my hands on it.
Yeah, we were originally working on this years ago, but we ran out of money and, therefore, time, so it sat for several years on the backburner.
We actually threw out some of the old design to simplify it and make it more board game, less computer game that feels like a board game, and to streamline the actual play.
We're hoping to launch the Kickstarter first week of April, but we're running a bit behind schedule, so it might be mid-April. I will certainly post again when we're live. :)
