Tide's Reach is an ambitious new space based mod which is currently in production by our very own Pi Mu Rho (Neale) along with a back room staff which includes Samon (Ross). I have recently had the pleasure of holding a Q&A session with these two which can be read here.

Chris - So, Tide’s Reach, the name of the mod has just been announced, but as I understand it, this has been in the works for quite some time. Why the wait between starting this project and announcing the name?

Neale: It wasn't especially deliberate. There were some potential issues with there being a hotel with (nearly) the same name that I wanted to avoid. There's no particular conflict of interests - I don't intend to accomodate or feed people, and I'm pretty sure they don't intend to develop games.

Chris - Tide’s Reach, care to expand a bit on the reasoning behind the name for those who are unaware?

Neale: It's the reach of the Tide - their hegemony across the universe. In this case, the Tide are a large, heavily-armed religious group with as-yet-unknown ambitions. One of our writers actually wants to cause me physical harm for revealing even that much. He's very protective.

This mod is well worth keeping your eyes on, so check out the website and the interview.
