I've added the faction descriptions, but they are still changeable, so if you have any ideas for jokes or anything to add to any of them, just post below and i'll consider it.
Also, this is a thread for suggestions, so if you have any things you would like to see in the game, feel free to tell me, and if it can be done, i'll try to do it, and if not, i'll explain why.
Also on the itch.io page, i've added a unit sheet, so you can see what the general stats of the units will be, and their special abilities. These are not the final stats and effects, and they will probably change through development if unbalanced or not fun.
I'll lso post some shit i'm still working on and you can comment on it.
Pic related, it's some concept/promo art for the game
i like the concept and the pixel art is great, but i think you should change the ancap leader from trump (why? tbph) to somebody like hans hermann hoppe?
Austin Campbell
Here is the campaign map I've been working on. It's blocky and weird because it is on a tile grid, and the rivers all flow between the tiles, so it's simple to see if you will be crossing a river, if you are next to the sea, etc.
Although since a campaign map would be a pain in the ass to add, i might save it for a later project, unless I get enough support to think it would be a worthwhile investment of time and resources :/
The colors are the regions controlled by certain states, the rectangles are cities, and the brownish ones are barbarian cities.
Jose Martinez
>Stalin >ancom Are you retarded?
Noah Gray
Ancaps don't represent ancaps, they represent modern conservatives (the very wide definition), encompassing neocons, neo nazis, Trump supporters, etc.
They are ironic names
Ian Scott
Here is the unit sheet. These are all the units that will be in the game, and if i add a campaign map, i'll also add barbarian units.
Benjamin Sanchez
>name the factions after things they aren't. lol irony yea... that doesn't really make sense to me to be honest. a lot of people are going to gripe about that, you can be sure. hunker down.
Justin Hill
>patreon kek
Brody Murphy
this is really nice user. decent amount of units. still, i honestly think you should drop the 'anarcho' from the faction names, it really doesn't add anything. they work much better simply as 'communist', 'fascist' and 'capitalist'. also, have you thought about giving each faction's units a different special, to give each faction a different playstyle? i could add a lot to the 'political' aspect of the game.
Christian Cruz
Do you need help making any animations or a promo video for it? I can't play it now, cause I'm phoneposting on a work toilet
Wyatt Jones
*it could add >not offering my services >my skills are in other areas
David Phillips
It's just if you want to donate something to help development along :)
fine, i'm dropping the anarcho. Thought it'd be funny but a lot of ancaps got offended for some reason :/ Thanks
Also yeah, in the faction description you can read the faction modifiers. Communists get high population growth and cheap units, but they are weaker than other equivalent units, the fascists get lower population growth but better units, and the ancaps get a bonus to economy but a lower stability. The generals of the factions also have different abilities, check out the unit sheet.
It's not out yet, i only started making it a week ago, all I have is a really, really early prototype in Love2d, and i'm still working on the sprites, but shoot me an email and ill tell you when i might need a little help :)
Also here is a pepe i made for an idea about having a few generals, each for one state.
Landon Anderson
>Ancap >Trump Trump's going to put money in NASA again. Space roads.
Owen Ross
>It's just if you want to donate something to help development along :) We all know you're not making a game, you fucking faggot. You'll get whatever scraps you can from your (((patreon))), then stop development to "work on something much bigger" go shill your potato-funding scam somewhere else, you begging cunt
Kayden Edwards
i was already making the game for a few days, but since it had a kind of Sup Forums vibe, i thought i'd share it here and also maybe earn some money doing what i love :/ sorry if it bothers you
also here is a shitty prototype from yesterday, dont judge haha
Grayson Wilson
Add some Jews in it (in some way), it will be more triggering and we'll have more keks.
Levi Reyes
Also angry wojak spearman gif. I was thinking of making a small animation loop for each one to add personality to them
Jonathan Lee
It looks fun OP, whatever you're thinking of doing, finish it. We need redpilled games.
Does anybody know what happened to that game that was released about 6 months ago named 'Angry Goy'?
Christian Jones
Thanks :)
Lincoln Rodriguez
have a bump op
Noah Flores
>anfash lewhat
Eli Morris
>It looks fun OP, whatever you're thinking of doing, finish it. We need redpilled games. What do you mean what happened?
also if u have a discord i would add, i work in web programming, you might've already got that covered tho
Gabriel Perez
Nice! Keep up the good work!
Xavier Watson
The next Total War installment....
Memes: Total War
This would actually be an excellent game if developed by a proper studio and large budget.
Jaxson Collins
Jesi zmazani FER-ovac?
Jace Watson
Yeah, i'll probably replace the names. I made them all anarchists for a laugh, but a lot of people didn't get it so i guess i'll either do serious ideologies, or enough over the top for it to be recogniseable as a joke
My discord username is JosephJohnB
Jack Cooper
>anfash
Logan Bell
Damn bro, you have some fine ideas, but please put ancap in a subsector instead of them being a main faction.
Lincoln Cook
Discord doesn't work like that, go to your profile and it should have an ID, like randomnamehere#1337
Austin Butler
Now we need a sidescrolling platformer with a Nintendo Hard difficulty
Leo Adams
if he is going to replace faction names (he should), Trump shouldnt be a libertarian
Levi Rodriguez
Lol kralj sam koncaj to pa se bos valu v denarju.

Camden Brown
What is it that you don't understand?
Kayden Walker
Added you!
Levi Thompson
What do you guys say about making the factions: Conservatives(right wing), Ultrafascists(meme), and Socialists(left wing)?
Carson White
Perhaps 'kekistani', 'kekist' or 'kekistanist' as the meme faction.
William Mitchell
Just a suggestion from age of empires: one special unit per faction. Changes play style for each.
Nolan Gutierrez
It was released, I downloaded it, what was supposed to happen?
Ayden Jones
No kekistan is a fucking autistic meme, although i might make a city state named kekistan with retarded pepe as it's leader
the general is kind of a special unit, as each has different abilities to encourage a different playstyle
Luke Ramirez
Ivan Drago, RWDS, Gold Subscription Contractors
Adam Rogers
>with retarded pepe as it's leader Sargoy of Mossad should be the leader.
Grayson Gray
Lel, especially exited about King Hyde, I don't do vidya, but will play/10
Brandon Thomas
Thanks! I'm shooting to make it as user friendly as possible so that everyone can enjoy it. For some reason I could never get into more complitaced strategy games, so this one will be pretty simple (also because i wouldn't want development to take 5 years lol)
Also pic, working on the tilemap for the battle map. It's hard as shit with only 8 colors, but i feel like it makes me more creative. the yellow-red circle thing is a tree BTW XD
Brayden Williams
>Ancaps don't represent ancaps, they represent modern conservatives (the very wide definition), encompassing neocons, neo nazis, Trump supporters, etc. wat
Colton Sullivan
You should get rid of Hyde since he's basically a child rapist gone insane that works at Home Depot now. That and he was never really funny aside from the one meme that gets spammed anytime some autist decides to decorate their local church with bullets.
Blake Allen
It will be great if you can customize your units with unique abilitys, traits, skills. Also should add special commanders and god forbid, mages.
Thomas Johnson
I don't have the time or resources for that currently :(
But if the game sells well im def making a second one with much better quality!
Carter Garcia
>itch.io lol good luck, any games with "hate speech" in them get deleted
Asher Reed
Eh, there technically isn't any hate speech in it. I'll probs switch to steam or a custom domain if it gets deleted
Jacob Kelly
Game seems pretty g rated and there isn't anything hate related on there.
Nicholas Reyes
i love the pixel art. the unit pics are great. keked at the fingolian cavalry.
Alexander Collins
Haha thanks, I love doing pixel art since it's easier to make with a mouse
Owen Bell
You need to split AnCap into real Ancaps and Republicans.
Jaxson Carter
God bless you, anfash units cracked me up
Ethan Cruz
Thanks, I had the most fun with those :)
Jayden Phillips
Looks cool OP give me a quick rundown on the plot/genera of your game.
Adam Clark
>anfash >ancom Non existent
Lucas Campbell
Kek this is awesome.
Ian Fisher
It's on the itch.io page, link is at the top of the thread :)
Basically it takes place on an earth colony planet after there was some apocalypse and pretty much all the other planets were devoid of humans. This one survived by society collapsed and after a few hundred years the finnish and korean empires rose and fell etc. (Find meme about the finno korean hyperwar's effect on scientific progress, that's the backstory basically) and there are a dozen city states fighting for control, you being one of them. More details in the itch.io page also
Elijah Cooper
Make it as simple as possible to get into the game and keep it fun.
Do the tiles have to be top down? Its easier to make comprehensible graphics with projections like classic RPG maker or Advance Wars
Also if you want to become rich add waifus/thots.
Evan Long
>anfash For fucks sake user.
Michael Martinez
I liked the faction names as Communist, Fascist and Capitalist. There should be at least one unit per faction that's a political philosopher in that field, which is why I like the Max Stirner unit so much.
Luke Adams
I’m torn between how much I hate you it is worth to just get you to stop making threads begging for money.
How much to kill yourself on cam?
Luis Thompson
>communist >high population growth
Is this the new Sup Forums yryl meta?
Liam Taylor
sounds like good fun. keep at it.
Blake Perez
Looks cool op
Dominic Perry
How does anarcho-fascism even work?
Jason Robinson
population growth through annexation, retard.
Brody Green
a confederacy of autonomous fascist states? idk man.
Elijah Jackson
>Stalin >Anarcho
>memes Go shill somewhere else
Daniel Perry
Stop spamming your shitty game and patreon you fucking attention whore. This is not your livejournal
Benjamin Reed
The same way a lobotomy works
Anthony Clark
Yeah, but the graphics will be fairly abstracted so it will look good on a top down map. Kind of like those Historia civilis videos, you know?
Also to emulate the Soviet WW2 strategy of throwing men at the enemy until they suffocate
Alse the faction names are supposed to be ironically funny, ill change them though, since they cause some confusion
Parker Bennett
>all these triggered anarkiddies and commies screeching about ancom stalin keep the an-anything meme
Jordan Johnson
Every faction leader should be some version of a happy merchant instead desu
Nathaniel Young
>trump >ancap
You're retarded.
Alexander Roberts
What games are you basing the gameplay on? The combination of turn based tactics and the sprites really reminds me of Advance Wars and Fire Emblem.
Benjamin Sanders
well for starters, none of your "ancoms" are actually ancoms, and a lot of them aren't even "coms" Stalin is the definition of "opposite of anarchy", jihadi horsman have nothing to do with the left (placing them on the political compass, they are probably as far as right can go), and black nationalists don't really align on the "left/right" spectrum
AnFash is just memes so it's crap from the begginig, and doesn't really make sense from any point of view (Anarchy Fascist ? Isn't fascism just any type of authoritarian organization of a country ? )
ancap seems right to me
Camden Collins
Make a pixelated Anime nazi waifu as the game guide who will sometimes show up to give tips or something like that.
Would be sweet.
Julian Hughes
>stalin >anarcho Fuck off you retard, you're just playing into the leftist narrative with that shit. He was authoritarian to the bone.
Wyatt Brown
Yeah I guess its worth it >:^) If you can't tell the names are supposed to be ironic and stupid, you deserve to get mad, or you haven't read the itch.io page
I wasn't inspired by any particular game, but by those youtube channels that make historical videos about ancient battles like historia civilis, bazbattles, kings and generals, etc. Watch them, they are fun and educational
Anyway, I'm off to sleep since it's late here, but feel free to post more suggesrions and stuff as I will read the archived thread in the morning :)
Here is the first concept art I did for it but it was way too much for me, especially the unit and enemy AI, so I simplified it. Might make it into a full game in the future tho. After this one of course ;)
Ethan Roberts
hey please make your game historical fiction or something instead of this faggot meme shit
if you're going to work hard on something then work hard on something good
Ayden Cox
>If you can't tell the names are supposed to be ironic Dude, come on. You can't just say dumb shit and then say it's irony,there either needs to be a point or a joke. Otherwise it just looks really fucking dumb
James Morris
Am I the only person who got the point of the joke without even reading the page because tldr?
Jason Wilson
This looks very interesting. How many months do you think it will take you to finish it?
Joshua Williams
replace jihadi horseman with truck of peace
Robert Roberts
mage class >ancoms: postmodernist professor(jew) >anfash: Priest of Kek >ancap: Randroid
Jordan Gray
This actually looks pretty good although i would change earplug tape sam hyde to quadroon sam hyde
Caleb Ward
crawl.develz.org/ Hey OP, I saw you mention this yesterday, and you talked about LUA. Check out this game if you havent already. It's uses LUA for it's Graphics (tiles version). But it's also got a "terminal version" (it's an old-school UNIX thing). My point is that maybe you might be able to simply modify this game (might save you a lot of overhead time *shrug*) and rearrange it to suit your concept / model. It plays turn-based, it's designed like a kind of electronic board game. I've been toying with the idea of tweaking it for my own personal project for some time. It's already go a few variants, "hellmonk / hellcrawl", being one of them. If you are interested or looking for something a bit more "complicated" then take a look at: cataclysmdda.org/ en.cataclysmdda.com/ These are what are called "roguelike" style games. But If you are looking for a model that uses turn-based board-games feel, with events driven after x-number-of-turns, Graphics are now a thing, they are open sourced and easily modifiable. You are simply just tewaking the game mechanics, making new maps, and you already got the graphics worked on. Seems like a logical thing to check out if your are interested. also: drl.chaosforge.org/ this is a DOOM roguelike that plays like a RPG. It has classes and utilizes the graphics(tiles) and non-graphics(termimal-ascii) versions. It's pretty good, for an electronic board game / roguelike. If you do happen to check this out as an option to model against, let me know what you think about it. I look forward to seeing you complete your project.
Dominic Robinson
Put Moon Man in the fascist units
Joshua Jenkins
This looks cool, keep up the good work.
Eli Diaz
BTW, the Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup has easy to configure controls. But Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is experimenting with Z-levels (i.e. multi-floor buildings, and has more complicated things like item crafting and lots of mods that can be toggled on and off. I'm not sure if there's a way to somehow take the best elements of the two and merge them, but then again you said you wanted to start simply. So I fugure that if possible maybe you can strip down one of these games and then build your own from it and then slowly tweak and add back your own stuff until you get what you are looking for. All the roguelikes I've seen are based on a square grid map. Both games have a mini map. Cataclaysm:DDA can let you zoom in and out, and supports graphic(tiles) mods sets, so you can pick what you want then characters to looklike by selecting a pre-arranged graphics pack(kinda cool). I really think this might be something to pick apart since it's already in development actively and it's already working on windows / linux (I play on linux myself). Just by looking at your tileset, I think you jpretty much got the graphics part well figured out. It's the "engine" that you are looking for,and i think a "roguelike" might just be what you are looking for. Most prototypes are able to be done in about 7-days(it's a contest actually 7-day roguelike) and it's ascii-based but you could whip up a quick working model and then translate the tiles onto it. Then you just make your graphics-tilesets. Btw, what platform (operating system) are you using to develop this game on?
youtube.com/watch?v=ZGNJ3nLn5Gc youtube.com/watch?v=P4Um97AUqp4 youtube.com/watch?v=jU9IAJAn56s&list=PLGe_S5n7MjT3TDC0G4A-78w5C1_CvQq2b This one is a series that covers everything from character creation, I'm only posting it so you can see it in action. youtube.com/watch?v=Aglmm0VON_g same thing as above but for an earlier version of the game. Each time they release a new stable version, they change the game mechanics and characters. This is what made me suggest this game in particular, because they are always tewaking out the game mechanics and adding / removing character types + abilities. Once You figure out your factions / armies, you could possibly add a bit of randomness to the map layouts, perhaps the overall map stays the same but the actual battlegrounds are different everytime you play (basically picked from a stack of pre generated maps / map pieces that are arranged by the game so they aren't exactly the same every gameplay). FTL is also an example you might wan to look at, a static overall story arc / general map layout, but the plot points are randomized and the encounters are shuffled. youtube.com/watch?v=XEYnQKVOgpE&list=PLmEGiXisZPZELf1JNJ6s2uWxR3spvV29E If you make your game modular, then other anons can add new "meme packs / faction /armies" that can be swapped in. I'm thinking once you get the basic game set up and working, it's could be kinda like MTG where new armies can be designed from fresh memes and added as a type of battlepack. *shrug* I'm just throwing out suggestions here, take from it what you will. I'm not trying to hijack your idea or anything, just my $0.02.
