00:12Hi guys, my name is Thomas
00:14and I am the CEO of Full Control
00:16and we're sitting here
00:18discussing Jagged Alliance
00:20Flashback, the Kickstarter project.
00:22Why are we making it?
00:23What is Jagged Alliance?
00:25And what is it that we want to do?
00:26And those are the questions
00:28I'm gonna go into.
00:34So what is this Jagged Alliance stuff?
00:37You might not have played the old games
00:39so I want to run you through
00:40some of these things.
00:42Jagged Alliance is a
00:44turn-based role-playing game.
00:46Story-side is very humorous, B-movie-like
00:49so if you're thinking A-Team
00:50the good old series
00:52that is what Jagged Alliance is about.
01:07Especially Jagged Alliance 2 was a milestone
01:10in these types of games
01:12and that is the one we're gonna use
01:15as a basis for Jagged Alliance Flashback.
01:17Story-wise and gameplay-wise
01:19you're running this group of mercenaries
01:21that have to liberate an island.
01:24As you play the game
01:25you get access to more and more mercenaries
01:28that have trust in you
01:30and other mercenaries become unavailable
01:32because they are running off
01:33on other operations.
01:35So you have this contract management
01:37where you pay money to hire some people
01:39for a week or a day
01:41and then they leave again
01:42because their wife wants to have a mucification
01:45and these kinds of things.
01:46So it's a really fun story
01:47that is surrounded by
01:49the mercenary backgrounds.
01:52All these mercenaries
01:53have a personality
01:54and that is one of these key corners
01:57of the game.
01:59They like and dislike each other
02:01they have a strong personality
02:03and a backstory
02:04so this matters even in the gameplay
02:07where you don't want to match up
02:10two mercenaries that dislike each other
02:12because that will hinder your performance
02:14as you play the game.
02:15That is something that we will bring.
02:18Nail this!
02:19But I can open just about anything you can lock.
02:24What we talkin' Scooter?
02:26Gameplay-wise you have two layers.
02:29You have the strategic layer
02:30where you have a map
02:31that is similar to a chessboard
02:33of the different sectors on the island.
02:35Each sector is basically a level of itself
02:38and you have different types of them.
02:40You have roads, you have cities
02:42and you have airports and so on.
02:45These have to be liberated by you
02:47and your mercenary squads
02:49as they move around freely on this island.
02:52On the tactical layer
02:53you control each mercenary individually
02:55in a hybrid of real-time movement
02:59while you're out of line of sight of enemies
03:01and as you hit up on enemies
03:04it switches into a turn-based mode
03:06where you have a really cool
03:07hardcore deep tactical turn-based game.
03:12The turn-based elements range from
03:15managing stances to action points
03:19to equipping your soldiers or mercenaries
03:21with different types of weapons,
03:23weapon modifications and so on.
03:26So what we propose to do in this Kickstarter
03:29is take this core game
03:30which Jagged Alliance is built around
03:32the strategic layer,
03:34the tactical layer,
03:35the mercenary personality
03:36and wrapping it into a new
03:39fantastic cool story
03:40that has not been done before.
03:43We want to go back in time
03:44and we want to tell the story
03:46before the existing games
03:48as a prequel
03:49which opens up for learning
03:51how your favorite mercenary
03:54actually became a mercenary
03:55the Red Army
03:57why did Shadow join the mercenary group
04:00these stories are things that we can tell
04:02through the prequel.
04:04We want to also open up our game
04:06for modding
04:07so that it hopefully can also have
04:09a 10-15 year lifespan into the future.
04:13The Kickstarter project is up and running
04:15but we need your support
04:17and we need your pledges
04:18and we need you to spread the word about this.
04:21so please go on to kickstarter.com
04:23and help us make this game
04:25become a reality.
