ESP Games was a small company run by David Addis (me) from about 2010 to 2018. We released “Miasma: Citizens of Free Thought” in 2010 and “Miasma 2: Freedom Uprising” in 2012, on Windows (in some storefronts like GamersGate) and Xbox 360 (in the shortlived Indie Games section).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would have loved to release them on Steam and Xbox Live Arcade at the time, but it was much harder to get products on Steam back then, and I couldn’t pull the right strings to get it on XBLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news, though! Both games have finally made their way to Steam, and are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Miasma 1 is a fairly typical turn-based strategy game, mixed with a story with some choices that affect the plot. I wrote this almost entirely on my own, in my spare time while working at Lionhead, so I was pretty pleased to get it finished at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had some help, of course. A friend called Chris Cummings wrote a handy Debug menu which saved time while testing and iterating, and two artist friends, Gareth Sissons and Elliot Upton designed the UI graphics and other art, like this game cover. A lot of friends helped test and refine the game with their feedback, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>
