From what the polls look like so far, we're gonna get a Real Time Strategy Shoot Em' Up in a Ancient Egyptian Steampunky setting. This is gonna be interesting.

I wanted a modern/post-apocaliptica racing game. D:
But realtime-steampunk startegy sounds neat, too.

Funny how you brought up C&C, Generals 2 is coming out next year, looks really good to be honest.

Mojang is livestreaming the game's creation right now.

I'm really psyched already. It's going to be a real-time strategy shoot 'em up with an Egyptian steampunk theme. And what can I say, I'm excite.

It better be good. C&C4 killed the series for so many people (like me). Hopefully a new studio will still give Generals 2 the C&C feel with a fresh look.

I voted twice for Steampunk FPS. I am not a fan of RTS, but I still donated.

If anyone's interested, you can donate to get access to the game + 2 other games here: http://www.humblebundle.com/

I'll probably donate conservatively but increase my donation if I think the games turn out well.
