I'm the head of the indie video game development studio Goldhawk, working on the Xenonauts franchise (spiritual successors to the classic X-Com games).

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

Xenonauts-2 Kickstarter is now live! If you enjoyed Xenonauts, we'd really appreciate your support with the sequel! https://t.co/TNTxIDtfLL

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@SimoRoth @Verbatetim I'd still be very happy to receive it!

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

We're looking for an experienced Unity particle artist to make some cool projectile / explosion / fire effects for Xenonauts-2. If you're interested, please send a few work examples to [email protected] - and if other devs have any recommendations, please let me know!

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@larsiusprime Thanks Lars, I'll check him out!

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

Any fellow devs have recommendations on good trailer people?

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@andrew_samey Yup, we will - in fact, he's already done it!

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@ThiSimoes Sure, I'm right here on Twitter (well, once a week or so), or you can send me a message direct to my inbox using the contact form on our website: https://t.co/PsIBEievqu

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@Inclined2Chaos Potentially after Xenonauts 2 is done, yeah - we've designed the codebase to be reusable, we just have to decide what type of TBS game to make next :)

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@RKade8583 We are planning to add text / UI scaling, so hopefully it'll do what you need to let you play X2 - but unfortunately I can't 100% promise it!

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@RKade8583 I seriously doubt we're high-profile enough to warrant Epic offering to throw money at us, so don't worry about that. Re: text scaling I can't easily say because our UI could probably support some kind of text scaling (but not unlimited) and I'm not sure how big is big enough

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@tobelplays That was the date we were targeting for the Early Access launch but unfortunately we're going to push it back a bit, sorry!

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@Aavak_ Yeah, I've had emails from a number of people about it. Drop me a line at chris(at)https://t.co/JdTMmAwIpq and I'll send you a brief statement reaffirming we own the copyright and you're allowed to use the music.

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@SArmadilloTank One method of autosaves was causing problems so we disabled it - are you not getting any at all now?

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@SArmadilloTank They're not turned off - ground combat saving hasn't been implemented yet. It'll be added in the next few months.

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@eSnQ_Duke Hi - sorry, not during the closed beta. You're free to stream and monetise it etc once we reach Early Access in about March next year.

[Chris England @GoldhawkInt]

@theTerraNovi Thanks, that's great to hear and good luck with your own gametoo!

@DrWolfsherz My email address is chris(at)https://t.co/JdTMmAwIpq - but the form on our website redirects the message to the same place, so whatever's easier.
