Find out more about Mind Twist by reading an in-depth interview between Randy Buehler and Ten Ton Hammer.com. Here's an excerpt:
Ten Ton Hammer: Can you talk a little bit about the game itself? The term turn-based strategy games is a kind of broad sort of term because there's a lot of games that kind of fall under that umbrella. What are we going to be looking at: cards, figures, something else? How are things going to be represented on the screen?
Randy: Both Richard and I have a background in collectible card games like Magic: The Gathering®. That said; we don't want to do just another card game. I don't expect complicated booster packs.
What I do think makes a really good strategy game, and what this game is going to have, is a collection of digital objects that you own. You get to customize your gameplay experience by figuring out which of those objects you want to take into battle with you. That's something that Magic has in deck building and it's something that Dungeons and Dragons has in terms of character building. It's something that I think is the real hallmark of what we would call on the table top side of the business as hobby games, games that you can spend a lot of time thinking about. You have the solo activity of customization that you can play while you're getting ready for the real game, which is your inherent multiplayer experience, so the game is being designed with multiplayer first.
There will be a single player mode. We'll have a campaign that can serve as a tutorial and will be a fun thing to do when you’re not in the mood or don't have someone to play against, but it's the multiplayer aspect that we think is going to really make this shine. It's designed to be played head to head competitively. It's a game where I’m matching my brain against yours. I've got my strategy, and you've got yours, and we're going to play it out.
