Ralackk: This game looks amazing. Anyone intrested in deep grand strategy games should check out the dev log as the video they have on the front kickstarter page doesn't do the game justice.

The game is about choosing an ancient evil that you play as and as you slowly awaken your influence over the world grows. You start off with agents and can recruit more based on fufulling prerequisites. These allow you to sow seeds of descent, amongst the various factions in the game to allow you to grow your army/power and evenutally awaken into the world.
It looks like the factions within the game interact with each other, some becoming allies and some going to war with one another.
There are also AI controlled heroes, some just trying to acheive their own goals whilst others are trying to piece together what is going on in the world and to stop you awaking. They level up, gain items and become more powerful as the game progresses and your agents become more powerful.
I'd have to type a few pages to just cover the rest of the basics that seem to be going on with this game. Check out the above video though if you are intrested.
Glad you like the game (I think I can safely say it's a game not a concept at this stage). I asked the devs about GOG and they say they tried and to answer from GOG. Today I read the following:
We just got greenlit, awesome landmark to breach. GoG has not responded to us yet after two attempts to reach out, but possibly with a Steam entry they'll be a little more responsive.
I don't get GOG really, it no longer focuses on old games yet it's not very fast to respond to new indies either(this is not the first time this happens, I can safely say it's a pattern). Add on top of that the slow updates( compared to steam) they have for new games and it really becomes a problem to buy a new game on GOG.
It's a shame really....
Rant over.
In other news, the game is going great. It seems likely that it will reach all stretch goals and will spend whatever money it will get above that to make the art better(they said that development hours are all allocated and ca no longer make promises about expanding the game, a thing to be respected for their honesty). With a little more love that map could look great(I like it already but it's far from perfect).
