Hi everybody!
I'm Carlo and probably some of you remember me (hope in a positive way ;)) for Until the Last Plane. i'm back to you now with my next game:
Full Metal Sergeant in which you play the role of a drill instructor. The main goal is to get lazy and useless recruits and transform them into perfect war machines within 12 (virtually) weeks. You have to manage the bootcamp, arrange the zones with equipments, planning the right trainings. Watch out for the recruits stress level, each of them has a different trait and could go crazy under pressure. Lastly there will be competitions against other military camps, for example you'll have to challenge the Coast Guard in a swimming competition.
Hope you guys will find the concept interesting. Stay safe and well!

Fun concept! Looking forward to seeing more. :bd:
It seems so obvious. Why the hell didn't I think of this?
And that is a GREAT name for the game!
Why didn't JH think of this? I have no answer.

I'm happy to serve as a technical advisor. Nailing the knife hand will be critical.
R. Lee Ermey was also a technical advisor! Well done.

Thank you! Every help is appreciate! You're in ;)
How, um, "articulate" will the DIs be? :-"
Out of curiosity - do you guys in the States have any equivalent to this show..?

Its very entertaining - my favourite line from the "instructors" so far, shouted as someone was struggling to keep afloat in a cold Scottish sea at the foot of a 100ft cliff.. - "what are you doing - don't you dare f***ing drown!"
No show like that over here that I am aware of...
I'm back! I released a devBlog in which I talk about competitions against other camps. There will not only be training and fighting in Full Metal Sergeant, but also running races or challenges at the shooting range. What you'll see in the devBlog is just the race, but the Sniper Cup and Swimming Challenge are also planned.

Will this cover modern drill instructors that are not allowed to shout at the troops when they get off the bus? ;)

Not sure how I feel about the look of this. It's much more athletic or "Olympic" than anything you would see recruits participating in at boot camp. I think you should take a close look at how this is presented in the game and consider the kinds of competitions and activities that recruits might actually be involved in. Marksmanship is certainly good if you present it in the right way. Also think about hand-to-hand combat training or pugil stick fighting, grenade throwing, close order drill and manual of arms, etc. None of this would be super realistic, but it would all have a much more martial feel and if done right, it could be a lot of fun.
Heck, if dancing can be fun in Sid Meier's Pirates, marching with rifles in step to cadence should be a no brainer.
Just my .02
Thank you Jarhead for the suggestions about other competitions. I'm gonna study something more suitable so.
Hi everybody, third devblog here! This time I show the upgrade system of the game. I choose a tree approach for developing your management strategy.
You can check the devblog from this Steam news:

What would a drill sergeant be without his cadences? Full Metal Sergeant (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1698350/Full_Metal_Sergeant/) is no exception: you can have your men sing the cadence you like best. :D ;D
I had them composed specifically for the game and I will most likely make a Deluxe version where they can be downloaded.
Yes I know, some of you will not appreciate the word "soldier" to refer to a Marine; I apologize but I had to make some copyright compromises :-\ :'(
Cool stuff! The DI voice reminds me of the DI from Half-Life: Opposing Force
Hello everybody,
I'm back because finally the demo is ready and can be downloaded from the Steam page here (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1698350/Full_Metal_Sergeant/).
Carlo.
WHY AM I STUCK AT WORK WHEN I COULD BE DEMO-ING THIS DEMO!?!
....oh, right. It's so I can afford to buy games. And maybe books. And food.
'Maybe' books?? :/
