FiringSquad: What can you tell us about the fictional back-story for The Continuum?

Tim Harris: We're rolling out the back-story in pieces, allowing players and readers to get hints, then chunks of story and then piece it together themselves. We'll do this through the comics (online and offline), storylines we introduce on the website and inclusions we put straight into the game. Without getting too far into what hasn't yet been revealed, it's the story of a universe unhinged, where the beings responsible for maintaining order in the universe begin to deteriorate, causing multiple worlds to come crashing in on each other. This leads to a huge array of characters finding themselves in the resulting reality known as The Crossworld, where the adventures really begin.

FiringSquad: What gameplay aspects of this title do you consider to be important?

Tim Harris: At its heart, this is a squad-based strategy game with heavy collectible and RPG elements. Thus, you will field armies made up of characters that you have collected, developed and customized. Every army will be different, and you and I could take the exact same set of characters into totally different directions in terms of development. This will create a really interesting play dynamic as players get further and further into the game.
