Recently Christian Allen, a veteran of game development branched off and created his own company Serellan LLC. His new companies vision? To create a hardcore tactical shooter that is build around input from the gamers themselves. To get support he put up a Kick Starter project asking that gamers help by donating. The reason for the donations is to prove to big investors that there is a want for a game of this type on the market.

I was able to catch up with him recently and ask him a few questions about his project, the company, and his vision for the future of tactical shooters. What follows is the email interview with Christopher Allen CEO of Serellan LLC and lead developer on "Game-X". ...

"TacticalGamer: it's a community. It's not a clan. It's not exclusive in any way. But there's a certain ethos to it. It's that we want to have a mature, fun game. So a lot of the problems you see in console gaming, or just the behaviour issues, just don't exist in TG ... This community is fantastic."

The TacticalGamer ProjectReality:Arma 2 v.015 Beta server currently enjoys the 2nd highest Arma 2 game server rank on the planet with recent epic single rounds involving as many as 100 players.

Considered by many to be the most realistic military simulator in the world, and described as "the Thinking Man's game", Arma 2 under the Project Reality mod has gone from strength to strength. Under the tutelage of the cigar-toting, whiskey-and-fire-breathing Wicks and the rest of the TG admin team (including Paintscratcher, Unk, Socomseal, Axis_Sniper, Jeepo etc), the server has achieved renewed popularity, generating a landslide of after-action-reports, YouTube videos, forum posts, and screenshots. ...

On behalf of the Project Reality development team and the Tactical Gamer administration we are pleased to announce that the next release of Project Reality ArmA2 is coming out very soon! As such, to assist the development team in checking gameplay with a large number of players and also to highlight any bugs and issues that may have been missed in internal testing we will be hosting a pre-release closed beta testing event on the Tactical Gamer PR:Arma Server! The test will be starting at 19:00 GMT on Friday 10th February, and running through to 06:00 GMT on Monday 13th February. The server will be passworded for the duration of the testing event, the password will be communicated later here, and on the Project Reality forums.

Later in the week the development team will release a special build of the mod for this event, this will not be final build and will not be useable after the event. The files will be available soon and will be announced both on the TG and PR forums. The download will be provided in 7z format and will contain installation instructions. ...

Yes folks I know we're a "tactical" gaming site but I wanted to share with you this news about a "strategic" level game that I myself have been enjoying.....

About Panzer Corps:
