The folks behind Mars War Logs have released a development overview video which tries to outline the particulars of design and gameplay. The extraordinary problem with the video is its host’s amazingly thick French accent! I think I got the gist. Something about Mars. And there’s a war. And we keep track of it?

I did understand that all choices made during the game affect the outcome. I’m pretty sure I heard that right. And that’s cool. It’s becoming de rigueur for player’s choices to make differences in games. At any rate, the graphics look great and the art design is really superb in this overview video. I hope it holds true for the game upon release.

Check out the website as well. It’s well produced and intricate for a primarily downloadable game.
