As GC: Sweatshops is being launched we've begun work on the next title in the Global Conflicts series. This time we will take you to sunny Afghanistan where raiding insurgents, insufficient local government, wide-spread corruption, questionable military tactics, a population scarred by three decades of war-like conditions, opium fields set ablaze, religion, history and a breathtaking landscape, will somehow be cooked into a spicy stew of fun (maybe not ha-ha funny, but more of an intriguing fun) and education.

On the 4th of november, Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen was interviewed by DR (Danish Radio) about making games about conflicts. Among the things they discussed in the interview was the different perspectives on the conflicts and the puplic reaction to the games. Very interesting stuff!
