The backend for SOS is terrible. I never intended it to be a long term project, and as such I cut a lot of corners in development to make it easier for me in the short term.
Primarily, the main element of the game, the political decision trees, are implemented horribly and it takes too long to add new decisions to the game.
Believe me, what I have cooking up is going to make this look like nothing in comparison with another year of experience + everything I learned from SOS.
