Looked and played well! Tried a skirmish game and the AI defeated me quite handily.

Critical Mass is it! Thank you :D

But does indeed look similar to the one I remember

No, it was more primitive looking. Looked like Windows 3.1 application if I remember correctly. You had the arrow in front of planes that you could change with the mouse, and then end the turn to see a couple of seconds of movement.

Oooh, this reminds me of an old game I used to play on Windows 95(?). Have tried finding it later to no luck.

Thanks for the extensive answer!

that sounds super interesting. Besides Eye of the Beholder, I have never heard of most of these.

Will try and see :) Thanks for sharing it. I had completely missed this bundle.

I have quite a high tolerance for the interface. Having to read manuals to play, not so much.

Which are the games worth trying today if you didn't play them as a kid?

Wondering if you have any of the games I have worked on, SteamWorld Build or Islanders: New Shores? Don't be affraid to hurt my feelings :D

30.07.2025 18:54 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes that should be fine ๐Ÿ‘

It is! Very filling and works well to serve guests.

The battle system is almost complete. Transition between battles and exploration. Abilities, multi-targeting, attacks, healing, and reviving. Simple AI decision making. Sound mixing and sound need a lot of work. #gamedev #indiedev #ใ‚ฒใƒผใƒ ๅˆถไฝœ #madewithunity

Yes will probably have to bite the bullet, thanks for sharing.

No, it is really bad right now :( Feel bad for everyone currently studying game development. A hard market to get into in normal cases, and now having to compete with thousands of people with experience.

Makes sense, working on a similar graphical style, building meshes using Blockbench. However still debating how to handle levels.

Ah :D nice! Looks really good. Looking forward to trying it out!

Do you use Crocotile or Blockbench for your meshes or something else? Love the look :)

Refactored the battle system, which will make it a lot easier to work with going forward. Still basic functionality only, but will start working on abilities next. #gamedev #indiedev #ใ‚ฒใƒผใƒ ๅˆถไฝœ
