Hi,
In the 18 months or so before the start of Empire, I seem to recall reading a series of design blogs about Empire. I know Odyssey still has design blogs on its website, but I am sure Empire used to have them too. I can’t find them anywhere.
Am I misremembering? Are they still online?
They fell off the site when it got a re-design but they’re still on Archive.org if you want to read them, as ever keep in mind a lot of things have changed since they were written

They are interesting. Even if, as you say, some things have changed, it’s interesting to see the intent.
