Teaser: Christmas Special

Espiocracy · published 24 Dec 2024, 06:25 UTC

What's happening / TLDR: This is a small developer diary, a teaser, about Espiocracy - Cold War strategy game in which you play as an intelligence agency. You can catch up with the most important dev diary (The Vision) and find out more on Steam page.

Short intro: after 58 developer diaries (longer than an average book!), standard format of mechanics-describing posts got a little bit stale. We already started experimenting with other approaches such as AARs. Today, on Christmas Eve, we'll try another approach: a teaser - quick look into gameplay through a few never-seen-before detailed screenshots, nothing more, nothing less. In a way, it's a polar opposite of thousand-word dev diaries with almost no visuals. Do not be deceived by the shortness of the diary, however, as screenshots tell the story and reveal new details about the game and its gameplay.

Merry Christmas! The next dev diary will be posted after winter break, on February 7th!
