For Immediate Release
\n==================<\/span><\/p>\n

Positech Games, the indie game developer formed by ex-lionhead AI coder
\nCliff Harris, are pleased to announce the first screen-shots of their next
\ngame – Kudos 2.<\/p>\n

Kudos 2 is the sequel to the popular ‘strategic life-simulation game’. The
\nonly turn-based life sim, Kudos 2 puts you in charge of a character from
\ntheir twentieth to thirtieth birthdays, and challenges you to make something
\nof their life. Your character starts out as uneducated and penniless,
\nworking a dead-end job. Your aim is to improve their life, whether that
\nmeans making them happier, more popular, wealthier, or carving out a career.<\/p>\n

The key to the game is the complex AI behind your characters personality and
\nmoods. As you would expect from the developers of super-complex strategy
\ngames like ‘Democracy’, every nuance of your character is simulated and
\nmodeled. Each day your decisions change your character for the better or
\nworse, from what books they read, to who they associate with, to what food
\nthey eat and which TV programs they watch.<\/p>\n

Kudos 2 is designed and coded by one man (Cliff Harris) with Artwork by
\nJamie McKelvie and Chris Hildenbrand and music by Jesse Hopkins. The game is
\nscheduled for release at the start of October 2008.
\nKudos 2 will be available to buy direct on-line from the Positech website,
\nas well as through additional on-line stores. Interested publishers should
\ncontact Cliff at cliff@positech.co.uk.<\/p>\n
