Repeated intro

Greetings enlighten Community, even our haters that gave us a negative review, we will hopefully, in time will meet your expectations and then in return your review will become a Positive. As it may sound like a Conspiracy theory, although, why do we only have 23 reviews and how little sales we had since our Launch date over a year ago. Sale or coverage, barely anything, most games get more coverage and exposer in the first Month or so. It's almost like something more NEFARIOUS is going on here, such as suppression of information amongst other antics. I'm not blaming Valve or any company, as we don't have any evidence other than usually low traffic. Maybe in part due to our lack of indie marketing experience, still seems odd from this perspective. Almost like a shroud of media blackout, or perhaps something more sinister, manipulating and pulling the strings...? Joking aside, It's Actually all part of a more complex charade, meta-connectivity to the Psychological Sci-Fi Thriller motive, rather than attempting cheap, cheesy Horror jump scares. I encourage the Community to startup conversations about types of Psychological storytelling seen in Eternal Darkness and Metal Gear Solid. We have some different ideas on where we take the characters and the different types of relationships they can have with each other, and how they can be socially engineered and manipulated, against or together to achieve goals. Nothing is final in the game, we can adapt and make changes. NDi's team and work Philosophies are similar and inline with the likes of Valve's leaked Employee's Handbook and Blizzard's credo. Hence we are still in Early Access, and will continue to be in this stage until myself, NDi Crew and the NDi Community are ready to Launch, be proud of what we made together as a combined united collective to improve the Quality of ARM Planetary Prospectors EP1 making it a smashing hit, with a chance to win some Awards. As our small Indie Developer Spacecraft, pivots and and readjusts calibrations, sets a final coarse and destination for our road map to Final Launch EP1. Some of our devs are teaching or working FT at other developers, thus making our progress much slower only being able to work PT at this point in time. We are looking to spread the workload around more, so we can have ARM completed to spec, sooner. We are reaching out to fill roles within the company, that we are sharing with the founders, and the future founders. NDi is looking for the following Developers to help finishing ARM Early Access, and work on the secret project(s) Graphics Shader Programmer AI Programmer Physics Programmer Gameplay Programmer VR Programmer 2D/3D Artist 3D Animator FX Unity Artists We are looking to fill Lead roles, including a CTO role which we can discuss shares and other options. We are trying to be a social, super flat democratic company and Community:) Send us your Resumes or message info@NefariousDimensions.com Currently NDi has some investors and moving forward with a government grant. We are going to be more transparent with the community, opening up a message board on Trello, where the Road Map, Bugs, Suggestions and chat about this and that can help improve the final version of ARM, so that we can win some Awards and be apart of that team that won! https://trello.com/b/6dByRD5r/arm-planetary-prospectors-ep1-road-map Unfortunately NDi has suffered some impacts from false DMCA claims, and invalid Copyright infringement claims, that led to legal matters that unknowingly took way from our development time and resources. Financially due to low sales and lack of exposer, making our sales very low and unable to pay the developers at this time. Instead stock, and IOU's were arranged. Some devs had to take other positions at other companies, plus many other issues that nearly grounded ARM indefinitely. Once our sales increase we will then be able to pay our developers and produce future sequels and other projects in the works. Some pieces are still missing, some content not complete, with bugs to fix, however, now a clearer, more precise creative vision is developing based on constant community feedback and developer iterations. Our company NDi's Goal is to succeed in making a memorable gaming Masterpiece that will withhold the test of time, and be mentioned as a Future Classic, in the Smithsonian next to other Video Game works of Art. If you want to be a part of this, and help save ARM....Join NDi and become a hero for the Community! Thanks Community, and reach out to your developer friends to see if you or they can contribute to this WIP work of art. CMDR USSC Nefarious (NDi)) Nefarious Dimensions
