What Is This Candelabra Business?

[Provost Harrison]

I keep seeing this mentioned in people's location fields but haven't the foggiest what it is about. Could I have a succinct explanation without a barrage of tedious links please?

[Ming]

It's a game that people are working together to develop.

But since I'm not involved, and am not an expert on the subject, I will leave it to somebody that is to explain it properly...

Velociryx... where are you

[Locutus]

Candle'Bre: a computer game that Velociryx is designing (together with other people, of course). Need I say more?

Well, DeepO was around here today. He should be pretty informed too

Maybe this can help too

Hell, why don't you check out our forum here on Apolyton?

It's a game, dang it. Don't you know anything Provost?

Heh... Candelabra... one I didn't hear before.

Indeed, Candle'Bre is a game, developed by VelociGames Inc. , a company headed by Velociryx. We are just his employees , but proud to be part of it. Basically, the idea is to make a TBS game, losely based on Civ, EU, M:tG and a few others, but of course better then all of them combined

Candle'Bre is a game in a fantasy world with medieval influences, so we got knights fighting pikemen, wizards and priests. All of this is bound together with lots of story telling (Vel and the rest of the literature team will see to that), and we're starting to have some very cool artwork as well.

Currently, we're working on the alpha versions of the game, so it will take a while before the first demo will be released to the public, but we're sure that the 'poly community will like it. Most of us first heared of the game here... and we had some very good comments coming from the 'poly forum, so we're still closely connected to 'poly, even if we run separate fora on our web site for more specialised discussions.

It's a pity there isn't a general introduction available, and our web site is a bit out of date (the webmaster had various computer problems, with a disk crash in which he lost all data to top it all), but the topped background story thread in the CB forum on 'poly should give a good view on where the idea is coming from.

So far, it has been wonderful to work on the game, of course we're doing this in our free time, but it's a very interesting hobby. I think I can speak for the group when I say it has been a thrilling experience, not in the least because of all the international friends you meet.

Now I even have to promote your project.

[DeepO]

Thanks Ras!

But... I didn't forget it, PH asked for an explanation without 'tedious' links. So it was intentionally left out
