BonusXP, a company founded by senior Age of Empires developers, announced this morning that they will publish an upcoming PC strategy title with Stardock Entertainment, best known for the Galactic Civilizations series. They did not announce the content or release date of the new game. It will use what Stardock is calling Project Tachyon, its new matchmaking and cloud-gaming service. They are designing Tachyon to work with existing systems like Steam, adding matchmaking, league play, cloud-hosted multiplayer contests, and progress tracking on the web.

tachyon sounds neat
I can count the number of conveniently playable multiplayer strategy games on 1 finger
So someone is developing something somewhere using some-other-thing, which isnt done yet, but will do what others already did.
OK, i guess ...
I always wonder what those kind of announcement are useful for ...
I guess that's the "big thing" Brad said they hadn't even hinted at yet?
It's interesting that they're not using the Oxide / Nitrous tech, though. I thought it was made to advance games such as RTSes?
GET HYPE! THE HYPE IS ON!HYPE! HYPE!
A big thing that they haven't even hinted at and will probably be revealed at next years CES is not going to be a third party publishing announcement.
"I can count them on one finger"?
Make it two man... Starcraft and Supreme Commander
I would love to be hyped, but this announcement contains no information at all to be hyped for. For all i know they are doing a new Sodoku ... mith multiplayer and matchmaking.
http://www.littletinyfrogs.com/ has more Information, but announcing an upcoming announcement half a year before it is just ...
While you're technically right, if they were using Nitrous tech, you'd expect them to announce it given that the announcement mentions Tachyon, which is arguably less fundamental and exciting to announce (though they could be saving it for later). Anyway, I'm just trying to goad them into commenting on it
You have a point there. And it would really be great if they would use Nitrous. But maybe Nitrous isnt far enough developed yet. We will see and hopefully be excited in time.
