Inspiration
It is saddening to see violence very much present today. I wish there were no wars, I wish we could all live in peace. I wanted to create a game about war and peace. Some books that got me thinking: 1) The Better Angels of Our Nature, by Steven Pinker 2) Zero Degrees of Empathy, by Simon Baron-Cohen, and 3) Inside the Criminal Mind, by Stanton E. Samenow.
Note: None of these books are for the faint-hearted and contain descriptions of horrifying violent acts.
Number of players
Currently single player. If there is sufficient interest (Wishlists in steam over 20,000), will consider multi-player. It is hard to have multiplayer without a community. So Wishlist now!
