Summer Changes

Now if you're newbie, you'll be asked to read the tutorial; after a 1st game you'll be asked to rate the game. I also remade the pause menu again, now it and some other windows will change their size depending on the text length. And yes i ask people for help with development right in the settings menu 😑

This is pre-beta 2.0 interim-4 (the last interim before pre-release!) and i'll post it in my discord server within the next hour

PS: maybe i should make larger the yes and no buttons in the "pls rate my game" window?

Added background for entry field errors. Also name entry field has become taller and now they can accommodate the letters j, g, q, y (yes now you can tell q from g 🥳)

And now entry field don't disappear in release bundles (yes this problem wasn't only on Android)

This is interim-2 and i'll post it in my discord server within the next hour

Added the first player selection menu and changed the main menu background

Added the control section in the settings menu, but it's read only. I added so little content because i'm currently optimizing the game.

I plan to add a background music, so if you're good at making music, let me know so your tracks can get into my game

Hi! I haven't been developing the game for a couple of days due to illness but now i feel better and i'm able to continue developing

Now bots can bomb each other. I think bots attacks are done so all i have to do is to teach them build defense lines and fix some issues. Then, more likely, i'll publish the 1st interim

Added the bots section to the settings menu and the randomness factor option

If this option is selected, bots will choose a random cell when choosing between two identical ones (which one to build on or which one to attack). This makes games little more varied

I realized the logo was unclear & strange. So i created a new logo:

War & Economy beta released. What's next?

Hi! It's been almost a month since i released War & Economy beta. During this time the game was downloaded only 3 times. This is less than the number of downloads during the month after the release of pre-beta 2.0. More likely this means that my game is uninteresting. And i agree with this.

I think the reason for this lies in the concept of the game. War & Economy is essentially a board game, like chess or Monopoly. It's interesting when you play it but there's no reason to play this game again. The game hasn't long term progression. It hasn't a plot or development. So it's almost a one-time game. One-time and uninteresting game. Which even I'm not interested in playing.

So i think i won't continue to develop War & Economy. I'm tired of it, and maybe you're too.

After i started playing Beholder (late october), i come up with a new concept for a game. A dystopia where the main character is a judge in a country where corruption and violence rule, in a country when almost daily appear new stupid and senseless laws making life even harder. And all this is seasoned with a ton of propaganda of war and hatred. I was also inspired by my country for this concept. Yes, sometimes quite often i feel like i live in a dystopia where even youtube is blocked.

But this concept is a hard to release. So i won't implement it anytime soon.

What will i post? Maybe content about my favorite games: Beholder and RimWorld, maybe something else, maybe nothing. You can write in comments what you would like to see in my blog. Maybe i'll listen to your opinion.

But for now bye...

I created the most of "wave" animation variants. Also decided to make them round

what do you think of the new logo?
