Introduction

Good day everyone, this post is the first one and it's supposed to be intoductional. Introductions aren't my thing, but anyway here we go. And before I forgot sorry in advance for my english and lot's of mistakes it's not my native language. This blog will be a placeholder until we make a normal official site.

So who are we: My name is Yuri Karasev (aka Shade) and I'm a spoke person and lead of the "A'real studio" a small indie creative company (more of creative collaboration of people. I'll introduce others later) from Russia, Chelyabinsk (the city that survived meteor fall). For quite some times we made lots of small  projects  like audiobooks, radiotheater etc. Also we like board & video games very much and one day a good idea visited us, so we want to make something with a bigger scale. An Ideal (from our point of view of course) wargame.There are a lot of wargames on the market with different aproaches from the classical big strategy like ones  to a small more tactical oriented. First we wanted a to make a system but a rules set with digits and walls of text  is boring so after thinking for a while  idea evolved into fullscale game with a few systems (which of course can be used for other game sessions without the game).

The game is called: "Protocol 34" and it's a turn based strategy game with economical macro game phase which includes:

- Politics

- Trade

- Tech development

- Building

and Micro game phase with tactical squad based combat which includes:

- Different soldier classes with skills trees

- Custom vehicle & troops loadout

- Deep damage system for vehicles and troops

- Meaningful troops moral and mental statuses

- Weather conditions which influence on stats of vehicles and troops

- Variety of mission types (Vip protection, convoy raids, hostage rescue, search and destroy etc.)

- Permadeath of soldiers

So here is a few words about game setting it's about post world war three, not very distant future with alternative history. World isn't in ruins (it's not a full post apocalypse but pretty messed up) but in a very bad state. Some terytories are in better shape, a rich ones of course live in a good cities with clean air water and ecologically clean food, poor people aren't so lucky they have to deal with desease, poor salaries raiders etc. 

Political map changed dramaticly some contries disappeared a new one emerged. The name of the game has a relation to the actual document of WWII between Germany and USSR the original text in ussr was kept in the special folder under number 34. The realtion is spiritual of course, it can give the mood of the uncertanty there is peace for now but for how long and at the same time war is continuing but on the different fronts in trade in politics and in actual "undercarpet" secret  combat by mercenary pmc.

So that's all for now don't want to annoy anyone by the huge wall of text in the beginning. I'll post once a week or beweekly. Have a good time!
