Resistance and Liberation now recruiting

Hey guys. Name's Adam, but I go by Steelwind around here and on the team. I'm currently one of the two leaders for Resistance and Liberation. Over the past few years Creasemaster and I have built up an exceptional team of developers working to create a much more dramatic and realistic approach to World War 2. We'd like to deviate from the faster paced, movie inspired products we've seen in the recent years. Fundamentally we're building RnL on the basis of pure historical accuracy. We go to great lengths to insure the best quality and most accurate content possible. To accomplish this we've established relationships with Vets, reinactors, and historians across the country. Every detail is established upon communication between our developers and these priceless contacts.

Initially RnL will be developed based on the events of the 82nd Airborne and their plight through Normandy, starting with D-Day. A campaign system of maps will be used, all modelled after the real world locations and objectives the 82nd Airborne encountered during their operation. All of the locations depicted are meticulously recreated using reference photos, togographical maps, aerial photos, and veteran accounts. Once in the world, players are encouraged to experience the drama and intensity of the events unfolding around them. They'll see the world around them like any soldier would, without using a HUD to gain information on their whereabouts and condition. Instead, players will rely on visual and audio clues to ascertain such commodities. Interactions with their teammates will be essential in the success of their assigned objectives. Each class of soldier will have a secondary function which can only be utilized alongside and with the support of another class. The goal is to reward teams who communicate and work together to achieve victory.

Thanks for taking to the time to read a bit about Resistance and Liberation. Please visit us at http://%7boption%7d!

Just becuase we start with US vs Germany doesn't mean we're singling them out as the only to contributors to the war. We're fully aware that other countries were involved in the war effort. However, it may or may not suprise you that 90% of the team is comprised of Americans. We have better access to veteran accounts and organizations here in the States than we would for other countries. Since we're so focused on historical accuracies, these contacts become essential for us to complete our game design.

I personally don't understand why so many people complain about WW2 or more specifically US vs Germany is overdone. It's no more overdone than modern conflict, counter-strike clones, or sci-fi shooters. There's always going to be a market for WW2 games, and every game has something a little different to offer. Take some time to read the About and FAQ sections to see how far we're trying to take our realism and historical details, if you haven't already.

Thanks for the comments and concerns. Without them we wouldn't be able to grow as developers.
