iDGi-1 inventor Vidal discussing the differences between the Zenlil (CONSORTIUM VR / Remastered) and Tower (Consortium: THE TOWER) streams.

"It's still over a year away, but it's looking super impressive, like some sci-fi Die Hard infused with moral quandaries." - Kirk McKeand, PCGamesN.

"Science fiction immersive sim sequel Consortium: The Tower was already a game to watch. However, after seeing the latest video, I think it's a game to watch with both eyes wide open, and with no blinking. " - PC Gamer

"Consortium: The Tower was funded on Fig last year, and the developers have made some incredible progress in the time since the campaign launched.

Link to the Reddit "Ask Me Anything" that Bioware co-founder Dr. Greg Zeschuk and Greg MacMartin held together. Best known as co-founder of BioWare, Greg Zeschuk retired from games a few years ago to focus on his other passion: beer. He travels the world meeting brewers and drinking their craft on his YouTube series The Beer Diaries and is working on opening a brewery. He is the lead investor in Consortium: The Tower.

Gamespot interviews Greg Zeschuk, founder of Bioware . "From a game developer's perspective, the fact that it's a finite universe--what's cool about this is it's in a smaller space so you can have a lot of fine control over the world as you change it based on the player's actions," he said. "It should be a very responsive game in terms of what you do." - Greg Zeschuk
