I'm actually interested in seeing what you do with it. It has a ton of potential and you've shown more promise with that silly little demo than many JPRATG titles do in their entire gameplay portfolio. With some better environment design, tutorialization, and so on, you have something laudable on your hands here.
Wow, I'm flattered! The latest update has had a focus on tutorialization and user friendliness. Maybe only got so far in that direction but trying.
Still struggling with making it not have a 40k feel, or feel like a 40k ripoff. Got a pretty complex background and society written for the world of Phanos, now figuring out how to put that in the actual game better.
Biggest annoying thing currently is I downloaded the latest update for GameMaker, and now it won't let me add new sound files, and some of the levels have these mysterious vertical black lines. Tried so many things, but I haven't been able to figure out what causes them. Whether the update or something I did just before the update, or... it's confusing.
I should have made the leap to Unreal engine ages ago. But that's a whole thing. Basically starting over. So yeah. Been paused on coding for a few days. But this is kinda flattering and I think I'll work on it some more after watching a bunch of CSPAN tonight.
I like retro turn based strategy games where you build forces numerous enough to crush your enemies totally so maybe I'll risk the eye rape on an already partially compromised machine that I can let totally die in the worst possible case, just to be safe.
Well it is retro. And turn based. And there's a lot of crushing. In the new version, you can also sell your enemies as slaves, put them in a gulag, chop them up and sell the body parts, or grind them up into "corpseburgers" and eat them.
Also in the new version, you can play as Brianna, and you can interact with/bribe/depose/kill Brianna in the diplomatic portion of the game. I might also add a "Tech Godzilla" type monster who goes around stomping on stuff. You can also similarly interact with/bribe/depose/kill sci fi allegories of Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, Mitch McConnell, Elizabeth Warren and some other pols. I ought to put Trump and Cruz in there.
Also added more levels, items, monsters etc. If I can get the item interface working properly at least, I'll do another release. I wish I could figure out the dang black lines though...
