Chris Taylor and his funky bunch are back, and this time, they want the whole world to know. Their new RTS, called Kings and Castles, is apparently a “one-of-a-kind experience will let players take on the role of one of three powerful kings who are vying for control of an all-new, original fantasy world.”

Not sold? Yeah – to be perfectly honest – neither are we. But Gas Powered Games plans to give us front row seats to its entire development process via Twitter, Facebook, and other such social networking, er, networks.
 
“We’re doing something different this time around,” said Chris Taylor, Creative Director of Gas Powered Games. “We want to take our fans on a great adventure with us. They'll get to go behind-the-scenes and watch the game come to life from start to finish."

Hopefully this means more than the now industry-standard practice of burying us in an entire teenage girl’s worth of developer “diaries,” which are generally glorified video blogs. Speaking of, hey look: a video blog. At least they’re being honest. (Also, it's pretty hilarious.)
