Fantastic game once again! I ran into a few confusing moments but each time I found the right menu item after a little searching. The addition of the manual is really nice, especially the in-universe introduction.
At first I thought the menu system was going to be quite clunky, but the shortcut keys really speed things up to the point where the game just flows so nicely. Being able to heal unconscious squad members back to consciousness, recruiting hostages and looting fallen enemies to turn them into full soldiers - so much more depth than I'd initially expected.
I understand the '20 minute session' idea but I can't help but want a slightly more fleshed out version. The scoreboard definitely adds replayability but I'm emotionally invested in Medic Usteme's career and would love to carry units across missions. Still, it's better to be left wanting more than to be bored, and I definitely wasn't bored
Thanks for the kind words Sam. I don't have the capacity to share the process in a fun and interesting way, but I wrote this in C on a modern desktop PC, used http://gamedev.allusion.net/softprj/kos/ as an interface to the Dreamcast hardware. There's forums where people still discuss DC dev, and the 'Simulant' discord server is very active with dreamcast developers.
Also: amazing glasses in your pic
I'm finding this really tough despite having played Bread and Fred, a game using a somewhat similar mechanic. But the presentation is amazing. I really like this red-figure/black-figure greek pottery visual style. Music is also good and the gameplay feels very solid, the fact that it's hard is down to me being bad, not the game being unpredictable or unfair
Thanks for including the small-step modifier for precision aiming! For me this really makes the game, I got a bunch of hole-in-ones thanks to it. Lots of fun maps, but more would be nice. Some sounds for feedback (maybe even an applause sample for when I score another amazing hole in one?) I had a lot of fun with this
Super visuals, very fast and fluid. I don't have any friends I couldn't find anyone to play with, so I really appreciated the AI player. At first I thought they were easily cheesed by simply jumping at the last moment, but then the AI beat me repeatedly. The shrinking arena adds some real pressure. Cool simple gameplay with good execution, I'd love to try this with someone
I haven't finished yet but I'm really impressed by the sheer variety of areas and art. Also the writing is hilarious, I laughed at the janitor conversations. I got confused about where I was a few times, and lost out in the wild west for a while, but that's probably just down to my own poor spatial memory. Fun!
This is incredible: you squeeze so many movement mechanics into one little package. I is a super dreamer and I had a great time collecting all the stars. I would have finished in half the time if I'd read the instructions in advance, but then I might only have had half the fun. Great variety of areas and puzzles, but the real stand out for me was the traversal mechanics, I felt a real sense of mastery as I learned them, and was having a blast just moving around the map.
