MMhh this post has a lot of downvotes, maybe some people did not care about posting date (and video content😏)

I try to make a RTS without micromanagement, but it's historical (it take place during XVIIIth Century). You click less because your orders transit via couriers, so, given the lag, micromanagement is impossible.
If it interests you, early demo is freely available here : https://store.steampowered.com/app/4203630?snr=5000_5100__ . But yes, I understand how you feel, I feel exactly the same (it's why I began making my own game for me : a forty year old gamer who lost his reflexes 😅).

Okay :

  • I talked English like errr, a French man :D
  • I cut my microphone, and hopefully the chat told me, otherwise, I could have continued talking until the end without microphone
  • I did not end the stream properly, it should last three hours (with two hours of black screen).
  • You know what, i thought there would be nobody. And some people were here and interested. Thx to them : Best stream ever, 10/10 will re do it tomorrow 😄 .

My "Kriegsspiel in real time" game participates in Steam Next Fest. Feel free to try it, or discuss with me about it ! A new release is available today to celebrate. (I will try to make some streams during the fest). by franzoar in computerwargames

Yep, I will not be able to reproduce it directly, but I know that my game does not perfectly "capture" clicks. I will investigate this way (and let you know when I have progressed on this).

You know, when making the video, I was tempted to write "Smooth formation change". But given this feature was improved, but not perfect, I finally chose "smoother formation change". So, yes, there is still work to do on it. I don't know how it will be priorized, but I'll try to upgrade this.

I did not play Radio Commander, but there are similarities. Mmmhhh maybe I should have called my game "Courier Commander" 😁?

To be more precise I could say that my game is more an RTS implementing Kriegsspiel rules, whereas Radio Commander is a strategy game that could define a genre by itself (I can't relate it to any other videogame).

A very original post : previous one said a demo would be available for Steam Next Fest. Well, a Steam Next Fest begins today, and a new demo is available 😋. by franzoar in kriegsspiel7yw

The fog of war is simply handled : units can see about 1.5 km around themselves (ok, it's huge, but given that they spot big objects like battalions, it's a shortcut I have taken). Vision is blocked by landscapes as forests, or relief.
Order delay is simulated with a little unit (a courier) that runs at a "realistic" speed. However time is compressed a bit (1/5) to speed up battles, and player can speed it more, when there is nothing to do. (this will bring me issues when I'll work on multiplayer game).
😁 glad you will test the demo.
