What if two independent game development superstars (
VVVVVV's Terry Cavanagh and
Love's Eskil Steenberg) and one video game journalist (Kieron Gillen) coordinated a bank heist? No, that's not the setup for a poorly constructed joke -- it's the premise of
the video demonstration posted after the jump of an upcoming game from indie developer Introversion titled
Subversion.
The game (which was
announced back in 2006, but is still in the early, pre-beta stages of development), tasks players with executing
Mission Impossible-esque espionage missions using a real-time strategy interface. Check out the half-hour guided demo after the jump to see how these missions unfold -- and to get a look at the game's unique,
procedurally generated world in motion.
