Hi! In order to know more about you, and what kinds of games you like I've started this introduction thread. Please introduce yourselves in the following format: - Something about yourself( You don't have to include your real name if you don't want to)
- Favorite strategy games
- Favorite non-strategy games
- What is it about Academia that excites you? (Doesn't have to be real feature in the game right now, but maybe how you imagine playing Academia will be like in the future.)
- Any other interesting things you'd like to include.
Let me start: I'm Tristan, Academia's game designer. I've probably played all kinds of games under the sun(except LARPing). I'll be looking at your feedback/requests here in the forums and working with the team to make Academia great! Favorite strategy games: Capitalism 2, Company of Heroes, Civ, Dune Favorite non-strategy games: D&D I can't answer the last question because I don't want to spoil you. Looking forward to knowing more about you guys. Enjoy!

Great idea Tristan!
I'm Ryan, the game's artist and Squeaky Wheel's everyman (as in I kind of do a little of everything that needs doing).
Something about myself : I'm currently learning French for a trip to Europe. I did the same with Japanese. Japanese is MUCH HARDER than French!
Favorite Strategy Games : Xcom old and new! Crusader Kings, Final Fantasy Tactics,Total War, boy just about any strategy game.
Favorite non-strategy game : Used to be really big into JRPGS like FF VI. Love me some management games like Aerobiz (Showing my age here)
Academia: I'm genuinely excited to see my students graduate!

Hello everyone! I'm Karin, CEO & co-founder at indie studio Golden Moose Studios. We're based in Silicon Valley but currently a nomadic studio, traveling around the Asia Pacific as we develop our first game. So far, we've been to Korea, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia and now Vietnam. Too bad the Philippines only has a 1 month visa available for tourists, otherwise we'd head over that way! (Our first game is a space shooter combining 2D and 3D elements - check out the TIGForums devlog if you're interested: forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=61640.0. You can try out our early builds there too.) Prior to co-founding Golden Moose, I was an AI Designer at Avalanche Studios Stockholm. (If you're into AI design, here's a detailed blog post about my work there: www.karineskoog.com/thehunter-call-of-the-wild-designing-believable-simulated-animal-ai/)Onto the games! Favorite strategy games: Civilization series, XCOM, Age of Empires, Democracy series, Kingdom Rush, FTL, Valkyria Chronicles Non-strategy games: There are so many! Older FF games, Super Meat Boy, The Witness, etc. Academia: Nerdy systems design side coming out - The progression in growing and managing my school. (It's what I enjoyed most about Zoo Tycoon games. Speaking of which, I can't wait for the Jurassic World simulator game!) I'm also looking forward to specializing my school!
