Managing Resources -- Week Ending 5 Nov

The game is coming along! Our engineers have the network and gameplay framework nailed down, so now it's all about plugging in the researched ecosystem data. With that step, the system reactions and game flow should fall into place, and our game will be on its way to technical completion!

Of course, I'd be doing a disservice to everyone if I didn't mention the artists' work. Without their efforts, the engineers' labor could never be seen or experienced. Luckily, our art team has created a slick, user-friendly interface through which to interact with the game. The gameplay is all about making smart water management choices, and their vision has made this process clean, simple, and efficient. Of course, they're also hard at work a gorgeous backdrop of the Salt Lake Valley as the main visual set piece. It's looking fantastic, and we're excited with the progress that's been made.

We've got one more week of hard work on development, and we can't wait to see the results as all the pieces fit together in the coming days. Check back again soon, but here's a shot of the touchscreen interface in the meantime!
