From the Mission Commissioner...Hello citizens! Well as you can imagine, the entire Mission Commission team and I are beside ourselves with excitement at finally having a home here in the Chronicle! Missions are such an exciting part of SmallWorlds gameplay - not only is it a remarkably creative activity, playing missions is great fun - just ask any of the Mission Commission members!

I look forward to seeing many more mission reviews as well as conducting a few interviews with Mission creators myself! You can see the team and I pictured above (we're just training up two new members - we'll introduce them to you soon!) waiting with anticipation for the first publish of Mission Possible - enjoy!

Missions... a (very) brief History!![](http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq73/swinventory/blog%20photos/blog%20photos%20october%202010/mp_1028_andrewh.png)
With Chocktober now at an end, you'd think that our developers might be sitting back having a well earned rest. Well I can assure you that this is not the case at all and luckily for all SmallWorlds citizens, they are all very hard at work on lots of exciting projects to make SmallWorlds even better!
They're all so busy that I was hard pressed to find anyone with time for an interview, but did get a few comment from Andrew H who had some interesting reflections on the development of Missions in SmallWorlds.
In the very early days of SmallWorlds, missions consisted of a single task - once that task was complete, the mission was over. It's funny to think back to how simple it all was when you look at the complexity of missions being created these days!
Anyway, it was soon apparent that we would need to improve on this if we wanted to give players a deeper, more compelling experience. A mission then became a chain of tasks and we've been adding options to allow greater customization. I know how hard it can be to create a good mission and I'm always really impressed by the creativity and quality of what players come up with!
