Nope, not a puzzle game. Think more of a Walking simulator with some puzzles and lots of LSD visions!

1. As stated below, guest votes don't count that much compared to members / trusted members one. I fully understand and support that approach.
2. There are certain hints that perhaps fans of us voted in a way that raised some flags. Scott explained that to me, and I understand the reasoning.
As said, all is good from our side and I don't want to complain here.

Hi Scott, I already replied and provided some evidence you might find useful.

Paradox *IS* independent in the very meaning of the word. And the games are still developed on a rather Indie budget.
AAA is perhaps a little exageerated ;)

Please keep calm and drink a beer (or tea or coffee).
We appreciate your support, but if we treat this like a contest, the golden rule applies: Never discuss with the judges ;)

we are still playing around with several different light settings and skydomes, so that is nothing carved in stone.
The odd camo however is explained in the storyline and will stay (however, perhaps a little bit de-saturated

Profile
IvanErtlov
Ivan joined
Writer, Designer and Producer. Somewhere between 70 and 120 shipped titles for all major platforms. One of the chosen few working both AAA and Indie and not going nuts from doing so. Short Bio: Born in former CSSR in the 70ies, Ivan Ertlov grew up as Johann Ertl in Lower Austria. During grammar school, he managed to sell his first games (mostly adventures for C64) to DiscMags. In the mid-90ies, Ivan Ertlov was among the most infamous render artists in Austria with his shows "Welcome to the Cyberspace" and "Atomic City". After several years of studying, DJ-ing and journalism, with an obscure degree earned, Ivan became a teacher in Lower Austria. He managed to survive the kids and pupils for a whopping year before going back into media business as Online Writer for the JoWooD Group (Spellforce, Gothic, Giants). Later Community Manager, Game Designer, Head of Development, Producer. Still BOTH AAA producer (Anno, Hitman, MGC..) and Indie developer with "Homegrown Games".
