My quarantine project (My Game launching on mac this week)

[mlfarrell]

I made this dumb little game during the isolation this year.
I thought i'd post it here since it's basically available only on macOS until later this summer.
and yes, this version targets Metal APIs

Edit: I should specifically call-out that this is a controller-designed game (switch pro, ps4, xbox, etc), and not mouse & keyboard. Mouse & keyboard still work, but you'll be at a major disadvantage.

‎War War

‎War War is a 4-player multiplayer real-time / turn-based strategy game intended to be played with friends locally or across the internet. Build small armies by placing your pieces on the board in the turn-based "campaign" mode. Invade other armies to enter real-time strategy "skirmish"...

• iOS? I assume no. On the basic/retro side graphically, iOS is where I would expect a game like this.
• Is there a solo mode?
• How much does a turn consist of?
• Does everyone have to be online or can the players be offline and then come on to take a turn?
• Free?

Solo mode against AI exists but the game is intended to be played either local or online multiplayer.

No iOS. The iOS game market has been ruined by over crowding and freemium games. Personally I feel like Mobile games now have an association of low quality that many devs want to avoid. Plus this game requires game pad or key controls.


Don’t understand your turn question.

Free? Lol. No I don’t give my work away for free - at least not upon release. And I strongly dislike the freemium model - I think micro transactions are scummy.
