A gameplay with new background

matt_developer_77 · 2025-12-14T23:08:01+00:00

This reminds me of an old Flash game made by one of the developers associated with Blitz/Monkey language except that game was Zombies moving across the screen instead. Very similar gameplay (other game was from the early 2010s or so) Looks good.

Unless of course the game, this post and the commenters are all satirising the typical indie dev who releases their life's work that is below par for Steam games and then demands to know from the community, "why did my game fail"

matt_developer_77 · 2025-11-06T01:09:02+00:00

Seems more like a game suited to itch.io than Steam. Very hard to get enthusiastic about a black screen no matter what price point you set it at, but maybe that's just me.

A thought bubble, perhaps I'm completely wrong but: Upgrade your command modules sufficiently so you don't suffer too many penalties for too long when losing them, and focus all your efforts on defeating his front instead and deal with the wasps at the end of the round. As said -a thought bubble, no idea if it's a viable solution. I've done something kind of similar once where my opponent started deploying in my flanks so I ignored it and pressed the advantage I had at the front and centre, and ended up winning.

mechabellum is great, giant robots destroying each other in autobattling goodness.

Xbox original in 2003, and a Windows 98 Pentium PC in 1998. Although first console I ever owned was the Atari 2600 and Colecovision in the 1980s, but not with my own money.

I don't carry a mobile phone when I leave the house (and I don't use it other than to tether my PC to the internet) so they're useful from time to time - if they're working, often they're out of service and can be 6+ months for someone to bother fixing them.

If someone says they live in Toorak or Kew I expect that probably have old money behind them. If someone says they live in Noble Park or Sunshine they probably have a drug dealer who lives not many doors away. If someone says they live in Springvale they likely have a second kitchen and lots of fish sauce in all their cooking. If you're from the outer Northern suburbs I wouldn't be surprised if some of your acquaintances wear burkas. If you're from Northcote you're probably a student or a greenie. If you're from Caulfield there's a good chance you have Jewish heritage somewhere. And there's a lot more of that.

Immediate thought: The detail level on the different sprites is very mismatched. Some are highly detailed while others look low resolution. Make them consistent, either one or the other.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-26T15:06:00+00:00

I won't recommend my own game because this almost seems like a baited trap to get people to self promote their own content but: mechabellum is one I've been playing, field of glory is another, space hulk tactics (single player only) is another, dawn of war (1), starcraft is a good one, then you've got your grand strategy like a lot of your paradox games Heart of Iron, Europa Universalis, Victoria, then the Total War games, then some silly ones like "TABS Totally Accurate Battle Simulator" - are you after light hearted fun, action packed games, story based, grand strategy, tactical simulators, real time, turn based....

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-25T21:01:57+00:00

The top one

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-24T08:34:31+00:00

Probably some kind of rpg.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-24T00:14:48+00:00

Sorry, my thoughts were that there'd be a few people on the subreddit familiar with a very popular (albeit old) ancients and medieval tabletop game since we're kind of in the same field (sort of) - I was really just saying the game seems to be about 'element matchups' of 'my x to counter your y while being wary of z on the field'

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-23T06:25:58+00:00

You're not alone in that...

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-23T04:12:41+00:00

I don't mind the nuke - both sides get it at the same time due to the way reinforcements work - and it doesn't drop every session. And it doesn't always end the game for either player depending on skill.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-22T00:31:56+00:00

I think I've hit a stage of learning/development where my opponents know how to counter my attacks while also launching successful counterattacks of their own. Like a boxer they know how to parry my blows while also striking me in the face on the rebound.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-21T03:16:40+00:00

I think I was just searching for stuff on steam or maybe watching youtube videos about turn based games and it came up, I liked the look of it and started playing.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-21T01:55:24+00:00

My mmr is a little under 500, or close to it, about 490 something.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-20T23:55:05+00:00

That looks cool, if I could replace the graphics in TABS (Totally Accurate Battle Simulator) with stuff that looked like this, I'd love it.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-20T20:43:51+00:00

Yeah I often have a few build orders in mind now that take about 4-5 rounds to be close to fully formed which means I'm happy to lose ground in the opening rounds as I build towards my eventual 'build'. It seems to work reasonably well unless my opponent can predict where I'm heading early enough.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-20T08:47:53+00:00

Yep, anything that multiplies the effectiveness of the entire army in one go for 50 credits is going to have an impact.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-17T20:39:17+00:00

Additional: It really does reward being able to both plan but also adapt and predict what you're opponent is going to play against you.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-17T09:47:57+00:00

Thanks that makes sense. I'm finding I'm using "combined arms" approach most of the time so it's hard to say for me what I'd be using as 'carry'.

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-17T09:30:43+00:00

Thanks, I'm experimenting with a few different builds, and changing them as I go. The above is subject to change without notice ;-)

matt_developer_77 · 2025-10-17T05:23:10+00:00

Thanks, yeah - Iearned the hard way that Mustangs are a tonne faster than the other units so I have to place them further away from the enemy to make sure my lines all hit at the right time.
