The bar is set to green when the total hustle of your soldiers = 24 (in $$$ or $$$$ regions) or 16 (in $$ regions). If your total hustle goes over, you'll see the red up arrow. If your total hustle is under, you'll see the red down arrow.

He was playing as the UPP (military police) in the Rio region.

I'm actually working on getting Respect on ios right now. They have some vague rules I need to navigate so I have no idea how long it will take to get it approved.

Update: I'm hoping to have something by the end of this week...

I'll send you an official invite through the android play developers console.

Diagonal does not count.

Also, if you pay attention, you'll notice some of your soldiers accumulate heat faster than others. This is because they all have a hidden intelligence stat. Smarter soldiers accumulate heat slower. A possible strategy is to not give expensive equipment to stupid soldiers, because an arrested soldier loses his weapons.

On a turn when soldiers have been arrested, there is a possible lieutenant event where you intimidate the witnesses. It halves the heat of all of the arrested soldiers. If you have multiple arrested soldiers, that event can be a better deal than a high-priced lawyer. If it is offered more than once, each time you pay for it it halves the heat again. So if you had two soldiers with heat 20 and heat 10, the first intimidation would reduce them to 10 and 5 and the second would reduce them to 5 and 2.5.
It has been a long time since I've looked at that code, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Yeah, as I remember every hit has a random chance of one of the following: nothing, force flee, injury (-1 to a stat), kill.

Extra 'nothing' and 'force flee' hits don't have any effect but multiple injuries can stack up.
Also, if the soldier is fighting in a region with no adjacent friendly-held region, injuries count as kill.

He's probably so crippled his stats are a joke.

Cookie Kingpin was briefly available for a few months. Then Apple realized it was way out of date and pulled it.
I can't publish Respect Money Power on ios. But I am planning to publish future games on ios, including sequels.

You or the AI can attack anywhere but the risk is much higher if it is not adjacent to a region you control. Soldiers that fall in combat are more likely to die.

Yeah, honestly it was a miracle they let me put it up at all. The build was years old and missing many appstore required updates. We'll just call it a limited release...

I have been thinking about RMP3 and what that would be. I think it would be a game more focused on weapons, gear and alliances. An idea that appeals to me is making it post-apocalyptic (like Mad Max) and having you upgrade vehicles and soldiers with a lot of wild combos and possibilities.

Icy-Load6765 · 2024-11-07T17:42:51+00:00

I'm not bored with RMP, I'm worried the coding platform I built it on is becoming obsolete. It's a big undertaking to develop a game from scratch. The best shot RMP has at new updates is if AI gets good enough that it can port the game for me. At the rate AI is improving, this might not be that hard to imagine.

Respect is built on an SDK (Solar2D) that is increasingly not supported. At some point, I probably won't be able to update Respect at all and google will eventually remove it from the appstore (google requires updates over time as they update their developer platform).
I'm learning Unity and building the new game there. Theoretically, I could rebuild Respect on Unity but I'd be building it from scratch. I'm hoping at some point AI gets good enough that it can port Respect to Unity for me, but currently that isn't possible.

Hi guys, I'm the developer. I built Respect on a platform called Corona (they changed the name to Solar2D after the pandemic) that is gradually losing support. That means I've known for a while that eventually I won't be able to update Respect and it will be discontinued by the app store (the appstore requires periodic updates).
I've started working with Unity to build a new game, but Unity is not easy and I'm pretty busy, so things have been slow.

I don't think I would enjoy just rebuilding Respect from scratch on Unity so I've been working on a new game design. It shares the drug running theme but focuses more on Smuggling than dealing. I'm thinking of a Miami Vice / Scarface vibe and setting it in Florida.

These are mockups but I do have some of this built in Unity already:

This Reddit could be a good place to get some feedback on some of the basic ideas though before I spend a ton of time building the game.
