Burden of Command is looking for play testers!

We are putting out an open call to test the tactical engine for BoC.

Candidates will be chosen in the following phases:

Phase 1. Prior Game or Software Development. These folks know how the sausage is made and are comfortable operating in early developmental stages of a game engine.

Phase 2. Prior Play Testing Experience. These seasoned souls are familiar with industry standards. They will do all they can to 'break' our precious game, making it more stable and robust in the process.

Phase 3. Anyone Else Interested in Burden of Command. This is our opportunity to gain a wider perspective. People from myriad backgrounds will give us their thoughts and opinions to make the finished product the best it can be.

We hope to have a testing pool made up of people of all ages and interests, regardless of historical or military knowledge. We're looking for input from as many perspectives as possible so that this game experience can be accessible and meaningful to everyone from casual gamers to combat veterans.

SIGN UP HERE!


We'll See You on the High Ground!

Today, we have goodies and an update from the commanding officer!

What are the goodies?
Wallpapers!
We have posted wallpapers of Lieutenant Thompson in two resolutions (1920x1080 for PC and 320x480 for mobile).
Get them here!



And now a message from your commanding officer:

Greetings, Captain.

A good leader knows his men.

Here's a summary from the personnel file of one of your platoon leaders. You can see an image of him above. Study both well.

Name: Eddie Thompson
Rank: 2nd Lieutenant
Age: 22
Home State: Vermont

Lieutenant Thompson is an idealist. Few doubted the evils of war, but the fresh-faced Lt Thompson always sought out the good in men. The American spirit is more than mom and apple pie. Lt. Thompson is proof of that.



In the coming weeks, I'll give you files and photos of more of your men. Get to know them as best you can, Captain.

Their lives are in your hands.

That is all, Captain.
Now see to your men.

It is Veterans Day here in the USA. For many of you around the world, it is Remembrance Day.

Please join us in remembering the service and sacrifice of all who have served and continue to serve.

The following pictures are a mixture of our team members in uniform and family members they wish to honor:

Do you have any veterans you wish to recognize today? Please share your stories and pictures here.

Let us all remember together.

War is about a lot of things--politics, ideas, tactics, equipment, and myriad others.

But it is ultimately about people. That's why we are incorporating period photographs as unit portraits in the battlefield interface.

Now, this a fairly straight-forward idea for Allied troops...



But what about the Axis Forces?

How 'personal' should these portraits be?

This is where you come in.

Please watch the video above, then give us your thoughts.

Also, please find us on Twitter @BurdenOfCommand and vote in the official pole!



As always, thank you all for your help and opinions,

The Burden of Command Team
