Sup Forums Video Game Thread

I'm making a tactics game with ideology as the theme, and since i got a lot of inspiration from here, i thought i'd share it and get you guys' opinions and suggestions for it.

So far, the gameplay concept is pretty well developed. It is a turn based game on a square grid, and you get to select and control an army consisting of the units of a certain faction (maybe 100 spearmen, 20 heavy spearmen, 8 light cavalry, 2 heavy cavalry, and a general). You can move the units, have them attack other units, do complex tactical manoeuvres, flank the enemy, encircle them, whatever you want.

I posted this here to see if you have any suggestions on how to improve it or ideas for new units, maybe some questions. You can also contact me at my email if you want a free copy when it comes out at [email protected] :)


I'm also going to post more info below, like the campaign map and more details on the gameplay.

Here is the campaign map.

The different ideologies have more than one city state because i couldn't think of a way to balance the map with only three factions.

The different city states will have different generals, so the Ancap faction will have cities where one general/emperor is Trump, whereas in another one it might be Pinochet, or Bush lol. same with the other factions. All will have about 4 different generals.

...

Shit, here is the higher quality version haha

Interesting.
Is it a browser game?
demo?

What is earplug tape sam hyde?

Bump. I like the spirtes

I was thinking a standalone game, but another user suggested a browser game. The problem is that i don't know much about browser game development. Maybe i'll make one for browser in the future.

As for the demo, since i've only been working on the game for about a week, 2/3ds of which was making the sprites and art, all i've got is a really shitty prototype where you move cubes around and make them fight each other. It is kind of fun, though, that's why im making it into a full game.

Also here is a sprite i just made for the "kekistan" city state leader. He is a retarded frog.

Ahahah, seems amazing

Thanks. I like pixel art, especially with a limited palette. All of the sprites were made using only 8 colors, pic related

>zizek
>not engineer class or a defensive shield class
he has a knowledge of toilets like no other and an unparalleled connection to the trash can and its uses

bump

Nice, but for me the anarcho fascist troops are too repetitive

unless he rolls in on a trash can, in which case he should be heavy cav. Also why "anarcho fascists"

this too

Yeah i think i'll have to think of more. If anyone has any suggestions i'd be glad to hear them. The theme for the anarcho-fascists is ironic meme ideologies, like nazbol and shit.

>Also why "anarcho fascists"

It's funny

>The problem is that i don't know much about browser game development
I guess it depends on the engine your using.
You can compile for browsers in unity.

yeah but it doesnt make any sense. Like christo pagan. Also why doesnt sam hyde have a black shirt?

>ANACRHO FASCISTS
>ANACRHO

Yeah, but the problem is that i have yet to learn unity. I'm making this in Love2d, but i think that it can also compile for browsers. I'm going to research more later.

>yeah but it doesnt make any sense.

I know, that's the point. It's representing meme ideologies.

>Also why doesnt sam hyde have a black shirt?

Didn't look good IMO, the blue is better for the blue background.

fuck

I have been thinking about how to put the current situation we are in into a narrative
but its so fucking insane and nonsensical it seems impossible to make it into a narrative and not seem silly/implausible

Like how do you make a politician character that that defends outsiders after they rape children/kill natives, or dodges question on whether female genital mutilation is wrong and still have half the people in the society like him

How do you write that without it being silly

what language does it use?
unity uses c# and js, there are quite a lot of tutorials on it as well, but I suggest you use, whatever is the easiest/most familiar to you.

>I know, that's the point. It's representing meme ideologies.
You could just leave it "communist, fascist, capitalist" and it would make much more sense dude
Especially as only one of the communists is an anarchist
Other than that it seems great, you just need more variety for the fascists. Maybe like put in a brownshirt or the SS or something

also capitalist heavy cav should be helicopters for obvious reasons

will you put Mi General on it?

I'm naming the world "clown-world" so it might get a pass for being silly.

It uses Lua. I really like lua (mostly because of the awesome syntax), and Love is faster than Unity, so i could probably add tons of units and shit and it will still be playable on a really shitty computer.

I will definitely try to learn unity and JS tho

fixed, i think

Makes sense, i'll add different fascist units. I like the anarcho- thing, tho. It makes it look silly.

>JS tho
I'd recommend c# over js desu

It only makes 1 of them look silly. Thats "anarcho fascist"

Yeah, I was thinking JS for web dev haha

It's for meme ideologies that's why it's silly.

Yea the js in unity is different compared to web webdev.
I still wouldn't recommend it.

If I were you I would drop it, it doesnt add anything, seeing as only 1 of the communists is an ancom and anarcho fascism literally is an oxymoron

>mfw recently started working on a similar game but in a different setting

WHAT THE FUCK user
YOU CUNT
NOW EVERYTHING WILL THINK I COPIED YOU

REEEEEEEEEEEE

Someones triggered,.

No no I'll learn C# for unity, I was just thinking JS for native web dev

It's funny because it's an oxymoron. The game will be kinda humorous

You release it and I'll sue you

FUCK YOU I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA ON MY OWN A MONTH AGO

FUUUUUUUUCCCKKK

Kek, OP has balls of steel

I gathered that by sam hyde and zizek. I still think it makes the faction names stupid for reasons expressed earlier

FIRST THEY STEAL OUR FLAG
THEN THEY STEAL OUR GAMES

CROATIA MUST DIE
SLAVS ARENT WHITE

if that flag isnt hell then I dont know what is

You don't, because the left will not be able to see the politics behind that, and will blame it on whites anyways. Just like they blame whites for black murders, when in reality it is black themselves.

Working on trying to make a small animation series myself, meant to convert soyboys who play video games purely for escapism to understand the importance of understanding heritage, and how whites need to reclaim there own.

I don't know if this will answer your question, but what I'm doing is having a foreign man have his nation be destroyed because the secularization and mass migration of people who came meant the destruction of their culture and unity. Said foreign man warns the equivalent of Europeans about the dangers this can cause on them, and they need to reclaim family structure etc. etc..

I think the best way to handle this situation is to make it just obvious enough so people can understand that this is commentary, and that this is relevant, but not so obvious that it detaches from an entertaining story. Marvel does the latter and it's clear why they're absolute garbage even to liberals.

let the current gen handle it gramps

I was wondering how Sup Forums would react to thi kind of themed vidya, as I am also currently working on a VN project which has a political theme. (Your GFs represent a certain ideology and wear school uniforms symbolizing said ideology) We're still eciding on whether to make it a deep thinking experience, a meme game, or both.

do the a-fas units upgrade during battle? like if a chad slays enough enemies he becomes awakened chad?

...

Ever played "Everlasting Summer"?
It's free if you haven't, on steam.
See if you can make it that deep.

aussie shitposter should to be the skirmisher for the fash, the pagan can then be bumped down to swordsmen, and then chad as heavy swordsman

I know, it's supposed to be stupid. Its funny.

Haven't thought of that. I think it'd be better to updrage after battle for consistency reasons.

Sounds good, thanks!

Looks amazing lol

Thanks!

who is bucket head?

>ancap
>no McChildslaves™ as skirmishers
>no Security Guards as swordsmen
>no Helicopters as heavy cavalry
>no Hoppe/McWarlord as emperor general

user I'm disappointed.

Make sure to add Mr. Pierce

Idk, will probs change him into someone else

Ancaps are also neocons and protestants, not just ancaps. But nice ideas, will implement!

Ill try!

>Ironic Pepe Cosplayer vs Pepe Cosplayer
kek

finngolian should be heavy cav (horse archer)
Spurdo as heavy spearman

Horse archers are light cav, but thats a great idea. I think I'm going to make another faction for all these suggestions :)

well then you'll have to get rid of the ironic pepe
Also what other faction?

Idk, i might just add more units for each faction instead of splitting them.

Lol you racist losers and your cringy ass "ideas"
Try going to college and getting a real degree, you'll do much better in life than making a racist video game to get money from other racist losers

but then you have to come up with more units. Really easy with the capitalists and commies, but really hard with the fash without just doing what you did and having two variations on things. Also more programming. Also Hitler as Heavy Cav unless you are avoiding that. Maybe richard spencer or something

The fact that you even felt the need to say that is pretty pathetic user.

Also, here is the prototype i put together in like 4 hours, its really, really shit, but i just did it to see how i would handle the movement, turn switching, attacking, etc. The finished game will have a much bigger playing field, better unit sprites(these are 16x16), a moveable camera, actual units and graphics, etc.

TL;DR: THIS IS A SHIT DEMO THAT IN NO WAY REPRESENTS THE FINISHED GAME, I WILL PROBABLY WRITE THE GAME FROM GROUND UP AFTER THIS

I have 12 PhDee's

Yeah i'll just switch some units up and just add more generals

Did I trigger someone? LOL! Go LARP somewhere else you nazi

A PhD in being a basement dweller maybe? Try harder.

yes

I'm enjoying this nice concept thread. How's it feel being that assmad?

also ubermesch for heavy spearman. And that about does it as far as I can remember. Unless you wanna switch sam hyde with hitler and make sam hyde heavy cav.

Make it Hortler instead.

Because you cringy losers could be going to college and getting a real degree to get a real job instead of being racist on the internet? No wonder Drumpf loves the "uneducated" so much.

that wouldn't be funny enough. Hitler is going into the Ancom pile, and will talk about how the nazis were actually anarchists

Bumped

I think thats breaking the theme too much. Too much humour actually becomes detrimental as you'll get carried away, leaving everyone else kinda puzzled as to whats going on. Things you find funny in your head will not translate too well. Other people need to be able to find it funny. Too much surrealism makes people just switch off

I guess that makes sense, good point

wasted digits by a fucking leaf

and how do you know that he isn't going through college? He need to know programming to do this game and I can say that he is really talented at making sprites too, don't feel jealous that you cant do anything of this.

>I was thinking a standalone game, but another user suggested a browser game. The problem is that i don't know much about browser game development

Send me a few sprites and a background and I'll make you a short demo

Shoot me an email (at the top of the thread) and ill send them to you :)

make it similar to tanks of freedom (advance wars ripoff for android, you can find it in f-droid) where you can make new units at capturable buildings

which is why you should drop the anarcho. The humour does not come from the faction names, but from the characters in the factions themselves and how they relate to contemporary politics and how youve put them all in a battle together

Would literally throw money at this.

Would like to see how it is developed and if it will be a game kill my want for a new C&C

in effect you are turning ideologies into memes and then making fun of them, not making fun of "meme ideologies"

fuck off

No >:(

>>>>> patreon.com/JosephJohnB

See

Yeah that's kind of what I'm going for

Yeah that's why you should drop the anarcho (phoneposting btw). Because the anarcho isn't actually funny . I don't go haha anarcho fascists that doesn't make any sense haha. Instead I go wtf that doesn't make any sense. It detracts from your humour because instead of satirising ideologies you are literally creating ones that don't exist to make fun of them

You are too serious for this. It's anarcho fascism because it doesn't represent an actual ideology, but meme ideologies in general, from Nazbol to alt-alt-right.

Also yes its funny >:(

It's not actually funny. I love me some super fucking surreal memes, but that's not funny, it's stupid and detracts from the humour of your game and it's really funny cast. You are inventing something to make fun of, rather than making fun of something that already exists. It's the lamest satire ever because it defeats the point of it. Because I didn't get what anarcho fascism was, you literally had to explain it to me. You had to explain a faction name to me. Think on that

Its hilarious

It's not funny. I know it's not funny, because you literally had to explain the joke to me

It's funny, fuck you shill

ITS HILARIOUS
(and also serves more functions other than being a joke)

...

You have already proven your comedic skills are lacking, so you aren't the best judge of what is funny, also you'll have to explain this function to me and in the game itself

>not all different variations of Sam hyde/10

You are a retard

Maybe you should stop derailing this guy's thread because he made fun of your based ideologies

Not a fascist. He came here looking for feedback and critique which I gave, not drool from an illiterate mongrel so you may be in the wrong thread

Let's ignore this for now. The name stays, it's a theme.

It's funny user. Ignore the fucking upside down straya posters.
