Concealed Intent is a simultaneous turn-based game of tactical space combat. Players control their ships in a fully 3D world - hunting down their enemies, just as they are being hunted themselves. In Concealed Intent you know your enemies are out there, but not exactly where, or even what they are.

To defeat your enemies you need to devise a range of strategies to gain enough information to successfully shoot at them. All the while they are trying to do the same to you.

Space is big and empty. Finding something can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, but there is nowhere for the needle to hide. To stay concealed a ship needs to fade into the background as much as possible. Everything a ship does will signal its presence and increase the ability of those nearby to detect it. A big ship may blot out stars as it passes. Heat from engines can be detected against the cold of the void. Lasers can be traced back to their origin. Eventually as detection increases, a firing solution can be calculated so that a beam of coherent light a few millimeters in diameter can cross thousands of kilometers to strike an evasive enemy - hidden no longer!

Release Candidate 2 or Version 0.9.32 Released

This a small release with just a few little changes, other than combining the online feedback and game server into a single executable (which should use less memory). The original plan was to put this out on the weekend, but then I realised the summer sale will start soon. It seemed best to put it out beforehand as people like to play the games they buy and I didn't want their first experience to be an offline server.

The main point is that the bug list is again empty despite quite a bit of testing (with more to come). I feel fairly confident in the quality of the game (please let me know if you see any issues!). Also I have the outline of a marketing plan and it seems reasonable.

Now I need to set a release date and start the marketing. Expect an announcement in a week or so!
