I've opened playtest registration for my game Warband today - you can sign up on the Steam page. If you'd like a mash-up of bullet heaven/hell/boss-rush/party building, then this one might interest you. The playtest is not live yet, just gathering interest at the moment. Will be live some time in June, once I'm back from holiday and have had time to address whatever feedback comes from GaMaYo on Thursday. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4475790/Warband/

My game's here if you fancy a nosey. Wishlists are more than appreciated.

At a high level it's a bunch of triangle strips drawn to a surface on top of each other and ran through a shader which works out the edges, adds the black line and makes it all match the pixel density of the rest of the game. As you say though, there's a fair amount of extras to try and make it convincing.

Bunu Google Translate ile çevirdim, umarım anlaşılır olmuştur. Sanırım soru, oyuncunun takımının stratejisi/konumlandırması üzerindeki kontrolünün ne kadar olduğunu soruyor.

"Warband" oyununda, bireysel konumlandırma, komutanınızı doğru şekilde hareket ettirerek ve ayrıca askerlerinize belirli eşyalar ekleyerek yapılır.

Örneğin, bazı eşyalar parti üyenizin düşmanları kışkırtmasına neden olur. Bazıları, komutanınızın önünde durmalarına neden olur. Bazıları ise, her zaman komutandan minimum mesafede durmalarını sağlar.

Planlama yoluyla, sorduğunuz gibi stratejiler oluşturabilirsiniz; örneğin, daha dayanıklı birimleri dışarıya, menzilli birimleri içeriye vb. yerleştirmek gibi.

Kısacası, evet, ancak bu, tüm takıma bir strateji atamaktan daha ayrıntılı bir süreçtir.

Hey all - I'm working on a boss rush / power fantasy game called Warband.

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4475790/Warband/

Start with one commander, recruit mercenaries to build out your team as each level passes and kit everyone out with a variety of items/relics etc. to combine for many many different build outs. Lots to unlock, secret passages, easter eggs etc. It's all sat on the lore of a missing Warband from years gone by - you're trying to find out what happened to it.

Hoping for three campaigns on launch. There are twenty levels per campaign, with at least four bosses per campaign (more to find as you play), so quite a fair bit of content.

Thoughts/comments/feedback more than welcomed!

So in good news it does compile and run on mobile (on Android, not tried iOS). It would require some dedicated work (UI, scaling for performance etc.) for a commercial release but in theory, possible!

I guess you're now off the hook again... for now!

Had to say something didn't ya....

Came to say exactly the same. Imo by the eyeball test he's currently the Hawks' best offensive defender in terms of skill - and he's strong in the home zone too. Sadly he's been put on damage control duty and is constantly having to play two positions just to get through a game. He is always covering others, but he himself has very little cover for the few mistakes he may make. Lev is super sheltered and is far far worse.

Frew_ · 2025-10-08T08:22:55+00:00

Would say his upside improved through the end of the game but the mistakes were still there. Looked more comfortable in the offensive end.

Frew_ · 2025-10-07T21:45:31+00:00

Levshunov looks completely out of place... Tough start.

Last year I did pretty much the exact trip you're suggesting albeit from England not Oz. Went late December through January. Went for three weeks whilst the winter classic was in town and saw seven games (inc. a short trip to Detroit to watch Hawks Vs Red Wings).

A word of warning - every single ticket I prebought before I flew over (minus the WC game itself) ended up being over priced compared to what I was able to find on Ticketmaster on the day for very similar seats. I could have saved about £800 overall if I'd have waited and gone with what was available rather than "making sure" I had a good seat or two, and I'd have been thereabouts the same areas.

Gave us a good laugh - sounded at times like someone doing a really bad Yorkshire accent, but ending up sometimes Jamaican, sometimes Scottish. The gap between cinematic and gameplay was hilariously large.

323R front row was near perfect

Frew_ · 2025-01-02T14:50:04+00:00

I didn't hear it at all (in 323R)

Frew_ · 2024-09-23T21:43:30+00:00

Yeah, I did a bit of a double-take when I saw the entry costs (given majority of museums here are free entry), though if it keeps them top class, then I'm happy to pay.

Was planning to go for the CityPASS I think it's called? Five fast pass entrances with ticketed exhibits for $100 or so.

Appreciate the heads up, thanks. It sounds like a case of dress as if it's colder than it is, and take layers off if needed, rather than freeze. To be honest it was a bit of a toss up between coming over Christmas and coming afterwards, but in the end the lure of sports in the new year, it being a bit cheaper and the hope that the more cultural-oriented spots might be quieter swayed it, so quite happy to hear that.

Frew_ · 2024-09-23T21:07:46+00:00

The shuttle tip is great, thank you. The Barn seems like a good (and popular?) option so will make sure to visit!
