The diary is the product of all the designers and coders who are working on the title & is intended to illustrate the kind of decisions and creative choices that go in to making a game.

Or rather, it will be – at the moment there are only two entries. The first — “What shall we do?” — looks at how the sequel came into being, and how the team decided on the North African campaign as the focus of the game (spoiler: it involved palm trees).

Next is “Blood, Sand… & Map Editor” which looks at how the map designers took real-world locations and turned them into playable environments. Honestly, its more interesting than it sounds.
