Jagged Alliance: Flashback Kickstarter Update #12, $151,154 and Counting

As the crowdfunding campaign for Jagged Alliance: Flashback on Kickstarter reaches more than $150,000, a new update for it goes live with some new info. Including the fact that Jagged Alliance veteran Chris Camfield is joining as a consultant:

Chris Camfield is joining the Flashback Team

We are super happy to be able to welcome Chris Camfield to the Jagged Alliance: Flashback team.

Chris has worked on the implementation and design of several Jagged Alliance titles and ended up as lead designer on Jagged Alliance 3 that sadly was never released.

He will be joining the team as an advisor while keeping his day job at XMG Studios. Chris’ role will be to help us on essential pieces of implementation knowledge.

WHY were things implemented in a certain way in JA2. Not only HOW. The how could be deducted by most programmers by looking at the open sources.

Understanding the core mechanisms and how they were designed to fit together is essential knowledge to hitting the right balance once we add factions, better AI and other potential improvements/changes to the mechanics.

There’s also some new info on modding in the full update, so I recommend you to give it a thorough read.
