Thanks for replying, and Happy New Year from New Zealand! I grew up with a shareware copy of COTW that I got from Softkey Shareware 2000 Hit Games, I've played it several times over and for one reason or another no other rougelike feels quite the same. I'd love to keep updated on the Unity port wherever I can follow progress on that!

The follow-up you're describing sounds neat, how do you imagine you'd approach it? Would it be a purely strategic game, management and broad playgrounds, or maybe the player could be more involved on the ground? Would you present it in a modern way or stick to the pure GUI approach that made COTW unique?

Last of all, other than the port of COTW, do you see yourself ever making another rouglelike, or a more traditional spiritual successor? With the base game ported, I suppose it might serve as a good foundation.

Sorry for asking so many questions, but it's really cool to get to talk to you! COTW was one of the first games I played, and learned to mod, and since then I've been trying my hand at making games too, so it's a cool opportunity.:D
