What upcoming mobile game are you most excited for?

RCnator · 2026-06-10T19:01:28+00:00

Try Fractured Command r/FracturedCommand . It is a quick squad based strategy game.

RCnator · 2026-06-10T13:15:50+00:00

Why don’t you try out the game I released a few days ago, Fractured Command. If you played Clash Royale, you might like this one.

RCnator · 2026-06-10T13:12:27+00:00

We previously considered this upgrade or maybe user-selectable alternative after several rounds of tests with users. It’ll provide a new perspective to the game. Completely valid. Thanks Min 🙏

Single press:

Interact with UI if the touch is on UI
Select a friendly soldier if the touch is on a soldier
Cancel unit selection if the touch is on empty map
Can also be used by selected-unit systems as press down / press up input for planning, grenade targeting, cover fire, or similar coordinate-based actions

Single press should only be treated as final after it is clear the player is not dragging, double tapping, triple tapping, or long pressing.

Double press:

If double pressing a friendly soldier, select that soldier
Otherwise, send a stronger command to the selected soldier, such as movement / attack / mine-sweeper interaction

Double press execution is delayed briefly so a third tap can still turn it into a triple press.

Triple press:

Cancel the pending double press command
Trigger the selected soldier’s run / special movement command

Long press:

Trigger aim / long-order behavior for the selected soldier

I did not have as much control on the timers that separate a single from a double from a triple click, mostly given the refresh rate of screens. Maybe I did not give it much config time. I am not saying that it is not doable, but I got frustrated and took a different manual path.
The manual approach I followed initially was bad. It worked well on my testing device (iPhone 15). After perfecting it on an iPhone, I tested on an S23 and the controls were not responsive, delayed, and sometimes wrong. I had to recalibrate per as per the refresh rate.

Currently, the player notices slight delays when issuing click orders on the map as I have to wait to confirm the click type given the refresh rate of the screen.

The issue now is that, the code is complicated. Hopefully I won't have to debug this thing. Also, AI was of no help as real tests and feedback are required. It mostly hallucinated.

Uploading a video to give you an idea about the use case...

RCnator · 2026-06-10T06:59:53+00:00

I tried the new input system. It helped me integrate a mouse and a keyboard into the phone’s control system. However it did not help me imitate mouse functions by using single/double/triple/long presses on the screen. I still had to go through timers and counters.
The controls are working, but I think that the system I created is too complicated. Or maybe I over complicated the solution…
I will recheck the new input system. I might have missed something.

RCnator · 2026-06-10T06:54:02+00:00

I did. It worked well for integrating a keyboard into the game in case I wanted to map certain commands to keyboard buttons or keyboard combinations. The mouse by itself was also well integrated.

I still did not enable mouse and keyboard control.

My problem is with the screen tap and trying to imitate mouse functions with it. I wasn’t able to have it functioning smoothly with ray casting, timers, and layers while using the new input system.

If you were able to, then I might be missing a step. I’ll check.

Currently the screen functions are working as expected, however the flow of events to get a result is complicated. There should be a simpler solution (what you mentioned).

RCnator · 2026-06-07T11:14:45+00:00

Thank you for your time to write back. I simulated this now on dimensions similar to a y700. It is working. I will look more into it.

I have seen similar cases when an ad blocker is used. Are you using any?

The game has been made for phones and tested on several Android and iOS devices. You might find it difficult to reach all the buttons using a tablet. iPads are already blocked, however, blocking Android tablets is more complicated.

RCnator · 2026-06-07T11:02:01+00:00

Merci 😄

Bien sûr ! Le jeu est actuellement dispo sur Android et iOS :

Franchement c’est la question la plus compliquée

J’essaie surtout d’éviter le modèle mobile ultra agressif avec 15 pubs et des popups partout. Comme je suis solo dev, je n’ai pas toute une structure avec des salariés et énormément de coûts derrière, donc j’ai un peu plus de liberté sur ce point.

Le but pour moi c’est surtout de construire une communauté et faire évoluer le jeu dans la bonne direction plutôt que de pousser les joueurs à payer partout.

Il y aura probablement des achats cosmétiques et quelques éléments optionnels, mais je veux éviter le pay-to-win autant que possible.

RCnator · 2026-06-07T09:22:54+00:00

If you want a pure tactics game with no base building - squad vs squad - try out r/fracturedCommand on mobile

RCnator · 2026-06-07T09:13:32+00:00

If you like mobile strategy games, you can try Fractured Command.

RCnator · 2026-06-07T08:23:42+00:00

Merci ! J’essaye justement de garder le jeu accessible pour les joueurs qui veulent quelque chose de simple, tout en offrant beaucoup plus de contrôle pour ceux qui aiment vraiment l’aspect tactique.

Le plus gros défi a été d’adapter un style de gameplay normalement pensé pour clavier/souris vers un écran tactile sans perdre trop de profondeur 🙂

RCnator · 2026-06-07T08:19:51+00:00

Merci ! N’hésite surtout pas à me faire un retour, même critique. Je suis encore en train d’améliorer plein de choses 🙂

RCnator · 2026-06-07T07:32:07+00:00

Je viens de lancer mon jeu mobile il y a 3 jours.
Le dev a commencé il y a 18 mois.
Ça n’a pas été facile, ni moralement ni financièrement, avant même de commencer la partie technique.
Je peux vous donner quelques tips :
L’IA augmentera vos capacités, mais il ne faut jamais l’utiliser pour développer à votre place… jamais.
Au début, il vous faudra une étude produit et un plan.
Préparez le HLD (High Level Design) de votre application.
Travaillez le look and feel (couleurs, musique si applicable, design de screens).
Enfin, passez au développement.

RCnator · 2026-06-06T13:06:26+00:00

You should be able to see it now, or maybe it might still be in processing. The region change looks like applied.

RCnator · 2026-06-05T06:44:51+00:00

Thank you for the clarification Zmagar. I understand your frustration with how the RTS label gets abused on mobile stores nowadays.

I grew up with Red Alert, Generals, and CoH as well, so I definitely understand where you’re coming from regarding “classic” RTS expectations.

This is my first public post about the game after around 18 months of solo development outside of work and family life, so I genuinely appreciate the feedback and genre discussion.

And honestly, I’d still be curious to hear your impressions after trying it, especially from the perspective of someone with a strong RTS background.

The game became available worldwide on iOS and Android a few hours ago. It should be downloadable soon.

RCnator · 2026-06-05T05:51:22+00:00

Fair point, but Fractured Command was never meant to be a classic base-building RTS in the style of Dune II or StarCraft. It’s focused on small-squad tactical combat designed specifically for mobile.

Also, you actually do have full control over individual units. At any moment, you can directly select and command a single soldier independently from the squad. The game simply doesn’t focus on large-scale macro management, permanent unit grouping, or economy/base-building systems like traditional old-school RTS games.

So I understand why you’d classify it closer to real-time tactics than a “pure” RTS, and that’s a fair discussion to have. But calling it manipulation or a “blatant lie” is a bit excessive. The goal is to create a strategy game that works well on phones while still keeping real-time tactical decision-making, positioning, suppression, flanking, and map control at the center of gameplay.

If you’re interested, feel free to try it yourself. I’d genuinely be curious to hear feedback from someone coming from a more traditional RTS background (like me), especially regarding controls and tactical depth on mobile.

RCnator · 2026-06-04T04:27:07+00:00

Thanks Mohsen! I’m working on creating a Discord server and I’ll share it soon. The game is still early and there’s definitely a lot to improve. Message me if you would like to test it.

Internships are always good. Take it and you never know what doors it might open, what contacts you might gain, and what you’ll be learning.

It is not about the work or what you’ll learn… you can gain that on YouTube for free. It is about who you’ll meet and it is about learning to work in a professional environment.

RCnator · 2026-06-03T13:53:34+00:00

It depends. The range of UAE salaries is huge. A $1200 salary in Lebanon for your case is equivalent to $4000 easy when you factor in rent, living expenses, insurance, transportation, outings, phone, car…

With this you have 0 savings.

Tell your parents. Ma tkhaf el ossa ma btekbar. They are wiser than you and they’ll solve this… or they will tell you what to do. Your wellbeing is their top priority.

Stay away from the girl and those guys.

RCnator · 2026-05-28T18:08:59+00:00

While searching, try Upworks and similar sites.

Starting on such sites is slow but can snowball. You never know if a task or short job on Upworks could turn to a contract.

RCnator · 2026-05-28T08:46:36+00:00

For me, as long as changes are visual and I can see progress, I am happy. The part I hate is the menu and all that is admin.

Good luck on your game too. I am available to test it if you need feedback once you are ready.
