Technology
The game was made using the following resources ;

  • Libgdx game engine which in turns use Google ADT for Android, and GWT for the HTML5 + WebGL version (used on Kongregate)
  • OpenGameArt et OpenClipart as a reference for all graphic and sound assets (complete references are in the game ‘Credits’ screen)
  • Usual opensource development and asset pipeline : Ubuntu + Eclipse + Inkscape + Blender + Gimp

My aim on this project was to go the full path down to a clean release. Therefore, I designed a simple turn-based game and worked around that, polishing it to a point it seems ok for a release.

Give it a try and share your thought !

Thanks,

I took a quick glance on the kong version. I read through the tutorial but didn’t play yet. Your tutorial text needs reviewing. Several messages had newline character printed out “\n\n” and one of the messages had [TODO] tag.

Thanks a lot ; it is linked to a change made just before releasing. I modified localization (the game is available in French & English) to be in a cross platform but not tested enough.
I will prepare a new release for this evening.

You seem to have limited the game to tablets. Is that intentionally? I can install it on my two Nexus 7 devices, but it’s not compatible (at least the Playstore says so) with a Nexus 4 or a Galaxy Note.

…and the web-version doesn’t seem to work properly for me, or i’m just too dumb to play it. I managed to move the first soldier in the tutorial, but i don’t know what to do with the second. I have to move him veeeery slow to move him more than a few pixels, but eventually, he jumps back to where he was no matter what i do!?

System is Window 7 64 Bit, Chrome 31.0.1650.63m

Hi, and thanks for the feedback !

I have uploaded a new version of the game on Kongregate and Android Play Store. It should solve the issues ;

  • I corrected this stupid mistake regarding the texts,

  • I improved the way soldiers are moved (dragging should be better now, selection of the last character is kept from turns to turns),

  • I also opened the distribution to other devices than tablets (I had intentionally blocked it at the beginning, since I did not had a chance to test it on smaller screen).
    Regarding the Kongregate, I find it very difficult to deploy a “run everywhere” webGl version of the game. I have tested it on the exact same setup (Windows 7 + Chrome 31) and everything worked fine. I still have to work out from what comes this issue you encounter. During the testing, I also discovered strange behavior regarding glClear on Firefox… If anyone has experience with GWT + WebGL deployment, please share it !

Please fix the links to your screenshots. Otherwise I’ll have to take this game out of the Showcase board.
