crowdrake · October 20, 2023, 08:22:47 PM

Hi I have been doing games for years, but finally got the motivation to get it on steam. I am hoping you will support me in my sale. its a fresh type of game you may find different enough to be interesting.

I had spent a bit on dev, so hoping to get some back, if you guys think its worth it, if I get enough back I will release more. cant say price before release, and cant say more than its coming soon. I hope you put it on wish list, .

Congrats. Wishlisted.

I'm going to say something to you crowdrake. I deeply admire the work you've done and the amount of time you've spent on this stuff.

It reminds me of my old days doing scenarios for Age of Rifles, UMS 2 and others. I don't even slightly have the time for that nowadays so I know what it takes.

I'll buy your game.

Don't thank me too fast. As Gus has said, I'm the resident game whore.

Check the VR thread, I just got a danged $2k VR package half on accident.

I for one would be very interested in hearing about your journey with this from time to time.

BTW, did you use a game engine?

No engine its hand crafted thousands and thousands of lines of code, prob 25,000 lines. I have a naval game that should be online soon too, I am hoping I can make back my dev money enough so I can put more online.

Congrats! Wishlisted as well and will pick it up when it comes out.

That's fairly impressive. What language did you write it in?

crowdrake · October 21, 2023, 02:41:44 PM

the amiga used blitzbasic , the people who made it carried on dev in it and we got a PC version blitzmax, then they made a modern 64bit version monkey, I programmed it in monkey2 , its not as bad as it sounds you do a lot of copy and paste and alter small parts of code, but debugging is a pain

Wish listed. It looks like it can kick my butt for a good while.

crowdrake · October 21, 2023, 10:14:53 PM

thx Sparhawk , glad you put it on your list.

crowdrake · October 23, 2023, 05:42:28 PM

you guys gave me the insentive to put another wargame on, It costs to put them on, so hoping very much to get back the costs.
