[jw] city war: action general

Posted by JW on Dec. 17, 2008, 5:36 a.m.

DIRECT POST FROM CLOSED BETA FROM POPPENKAST

I present to you an action/strategy game that was originally ment for the 3h compo.

All it needs is a shitload of polish, sfxr sounds and I already got some music from phlog.

no screens because they all look ugly

HOW IT WORKS:

wasd controls you, your teams action general.

You have a random weapon [minigun shotgun rockets sniper]

lmb fires it

rmb sends troops forward or backward if you keep it pressed above or under yourself.

Troops respawn over time.

You instantly respawn.

Destroy the enemy city.

Generals level up at 5 and 15 kills.

I suggest not too much troops and just 1 leader per side.

You don't have any idea of how awesome this game is. It seriously is one of the most fun indie games I've played in a while. I love it. Everything is pretty balanced and it's just really fun to play. You need to finish this game! I want to see it in it's final form.

CITY WAR

NEEDS SOUNDS

needs sounds.

Apart from that, bloody fantastic, I love it :)

You don't seem to switch class until your camera reaches the bottom of the screen when you've died, though.

It's okay, I feel rather helpless when I get rockets though… however good they may be at taking down buildings

Actually, I get that feeling when I use the sniper too, it probably has to do with the inbetween time with each shot, and the fact that their team's usually all over you if you try to land a shot

I had the most fun with the minigun and the shotgun

Troops need to be able to defend you better, if only when you have the rocket and sniper, because I feel like I'm at a disadvantage if I get killed while I have one of those, mainly because I didn't choose that 'class', which does not allow me to be tactical at all

Pretty fun overall, if you manage to get to the other side with a rocket, get a minigun, or a shotgun

great game

bullets need to go a little further.

When i have the minigun, I feel like using a sprinkler or something

Its a fun game, but when I died I had to quit to replay. Am I missing something?
