Supreme Ruler 2020 Gone Gold
Press Release From Paradox yesterday;
New York, USA (May 26, 2008) Globally renowned publisher Paradox Interactive is delighted to announce, that the highly anticipated Supreme Ruler 2020 has gone Gold.Developers BattleGoat Studios has produced an engaging geopolitical wargame set in a future full of global turmoil. Numerous improvements help surpass the original, to provide a game full of complexity and deeply engaging strategy.
"We've created a strategy game with unmatched scope and depth. We set our sights high - play the whole world, all at once, without limits on the numbers of units, facilities, or other elements. Zoom in to examine a single city, or zoom out to see the whole world. Trade, ally or battle with hundreds of real-world countries. It's all in there", says George Geczy, Lead Programmer and Co Founder of BattleGoat Studios.
In the year 2020, the world is fracturing along economic and political fault lines. War is commonplace. Borders shift on a daily basis, as rival militaries duel over dwindling resources. Your nation seeks a leader to rise above the chaos. The region needs a warrior, to wield an iron fist and smash aside the forces of anarchy. Our world demands a strong ruler, to restore order and return stability to a terrified population.
Can you become the Supreme Ruler?

Nice to see a devloper come by and let us know of this, I didn't even know this game was in the works. I'd like to see a demo because after my day job (geopolitical war) I might not have the energy.

No-brainer for me. I want to see how the system has been improved and hopefully streamlined.
Extremism in the defense of liberty *is* a vice. It has been since the first Crown Loyalist was tarred, feathered and set afire, and it's no better now. It corrupts first the individual, then ultimately the institution it defends.
I've been excited for this for a while. Bring on the demo!
Almost forgot.... Will this be available for download anywhere? Gamersgate? Stardock?

Glad you guys are interested in our project, developing this one has been much more challenging that the first game. We're currently working on the demo and a day zero patch. We'd like the demo to contain the day zero patch stuff so we're aiming for a few days before street date (which is June 17th).
The game is available from Gamersgate and will be on a few other sites but I've not got confirmation on which ones yet. We're also working on localization for the German, Spanish and French markets.

Gamersgate is good enough for me!
I'm sure it was harder to develop, given the design objectives and the knowledge from the first one. I'm glad you could see it through and happy to support you guys.

Assuming you picked up the game, update 2 (ver 5.2.1) is now available if you use your "check for updates" link in the start menu program group. Hope you're enjoying it...
