Man, I loved those Praetorian high-tech sets. If some of that was available for super-group H.Q. base-building through the online store, I would've bought it for sure.

Something I can't help but notice about many of the computer displays in Praetoria is the inclusion of arbitrary Japanese katakana mixed into the binary.
Was this meant to further give homage to the Cyberpunk genre that seems to subtly influence all of Praetoria?
(One world Government, terrible experiments going on, robots everywhere, rabblerousing resistance groups, and of course, the Syndicate.)

It's as simple as this: previously, the displays only showed binary, but a Designer pointed out that the actual information displayed by those digits was practically nothing. So we asked the 3D artist to add something else to the mix.

I see, and here I had begun also wondering if there was a Matrix homage as well.

Sort of. I guess the whole scrolling binary thing is pretty Matrix-y to begin with.
