A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.
- Silent Disapproval Robot


I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

And like clockwork, I found some pretty nasty bugs immediately after release.

Patch 0.4.1 fixes these bugs!

Five days after Steam release, and we have 9 positive Steam reviews and only 1 Russian troll apologizing for USSR war crimes on my Discord!  :Party: (But that last part is a story for another day.)

Once we hit 10 positive reviews, the game will get a nice boost in Steam visibility! The Great Leader will be very pleased by this outcome  :stormtrooper2:

Picking along at the game at a relaxed pace so far; left a humorous positive review!

I'll be leaving my first ever Steam review for it later. 

Fun so far!  Glory to the Great Leader!

I made it. I'm finally there. I made a real game.

Someone left a negative Steam review on my game completely unrelated to the game itself!   :Party:



Someone needs to tell the CIA I'm still waiting on that blood money for writing a fictional VN, because I still haven't received any!
