I'm a developer of a hardcode multiplayer turn based strategy game. I'm a big fan of Xcom and Xenonauts but was always dissapointed how there's no game in the genre that does multiplayer well, so i made my own. Currently 2 years in development and probably a few more years to go.The game features:-Full modding support(all units and abilities are editable)-Map editor-AI without pre-defined behaviours that adapts to abilities and seamlessly uses modded content-Deterministic combat with no RNG, based on supression and risk-reward core with abilities exposing units to be supressedThe game does have functional ai, but the primary focus is 1v1 multiplayer matches. I'm currenltly ramping up playtesting of the game and right now looking to have 1 on 1 playtesting sessions to address UX issues. And in a months (or two) time start open playtesting.https://discord.gg/7EmpSF7fFT
I'd try it if you posted a build in thread for me to dick around with a buddy, but you didn't so I won't
>>1202912I'm gonna bump your thread since I would love to see more Xcom style games, but actually good.
>>1207410I'll be posting a build here soon since a lot of people seem to hate discord
>>1207813You gotta understand that /vm/ still has some of the older 4chan crowd. I personally have no problems with discord but most anons here are gonna want to stay anons.Aesthetically I think your game looks fairly good, though the character models seem to blend together with the background/terrain just a bit much. Maybe some sharper or more bold outlines could help them? And honestly I'd make the guns way bigger and more visible, that way you can have an easier time telling what they are

X-com PVP? Very interestedStill have fond memories of UFO2000 when it was still alive / being developed.I feel there is genuinely a niche for this kind of thing if someone only manages to do it well. Not joining your discord however.
>>1202912Thank you, I'll take a look at it, but I have another question, could you answer that for me too, please.Can you explain to me as a dev, when the true next gen games will appear?Somehow the graphics aren't really at NextGen level yet, I think. Still looks good, just a little prettier. But the certain astonishment / amazement graphic is missing.
>>1215379I would consider what unreal 5 is doing quite nextgen

>>1202912>hardcore multiplayer x-com likeWill it be 1v1 with each person controlling a whole team? Or will it be 4v4 (or however many units you intend on doing) with each player controlling a personal unit?
>>12320431v1, whole team
