KickTraq

It’s a bit of a tradition that whenever I interview someone for Cliqist I ask them to put together a brief haiku to describe them, their company, or their game. Since we’re celebrating the one year anniversary of Cliqist this week I figure it would be as good a time as any to look back at some of them. All the haiku’s were written by the person being interviewed, and are listed in the order in which they appeared on the site. Some are great, some not so much, but each is interesting in its own right. (Read More)

Matt Boland of SeaCliff Interactive recently took some time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions we had about his companys upcoming game, Super Roman Conquest. Currently in the middle of a Kickstarter Campaign, Super Roman Conquest is a side scrolling strategy game set in ancient Rome.
