Nikolay Sitnikov (Founder, QuadCom Interactive) We’re all major fans of the X-COM franchise, along with tactical games and hard science fiction. RAM Pressure gives us an opportunity to break some rules and take the genre into a new direction.â€Â €œWorking on RAM Pressure along with QuadCom has been a blast. To succeed, players will need to equip and customize their soldiers to make them a well oiled, effective fighting force … eventually gaining knowledge of secrets literally beyond imagination.Īndrey Sharapov (Business Development Director / General Producer, GDT) The goal? Establish contact with any surviving alien beings and uncover the factors that led to the extinction of their civilization. In RAM Pressure, players will engage in pitched battles against other units as well hostile intelligence services. This is only the tip of the iceberg as far as “first contact†goes: Humanity faces a much more serious threat that could lead to the total eradication of mankind. In time – while performing extremely dangerous incursions for alien artifacts – players begin to lift the veil behind government conspiracies and state-sponsored attempts to use alien technology to control the world’s population. As leaders of competing paramilitary organizations, players have to successfully scout, secure, and deliver the weapons and intel found in each alien crash site to paying governments indifferent to loss of life. To avoid widespread panic, world governments hide the truth from the population by sending elite mercenary squads to crash sites – gaining access to the alien technology before anyone else can do the same. In the near future, Earth is hit by an unusual meteorite swarm: the remains of alien fleets decimated by an ancient galactic war. It is primarily this ram pressure (rather than friction) that heats the air that in turn heats the meteoroid as it flows around it. A meteoroid traveling supersonically through Earth’s atmosphere produces a shock wave generated by the extremely rapid compression of air in front of the meteoroid. It causes a drag force to be exerted on the body. In physics, “ram pressure†is a pressure exerted on a body moving through a fluid medium, caused by relative bulk motion of the fluid rather than random thermal motion.
