Yep it’s early days, but thanks for playing so much - feedback much appreciated.

Cheers,

Kev

#22

Will this be available to multiplayer, both on the same screen and through different devices, like classic chess?

#23

Intended it to be online multiplayer - hadn’t though about hot seat but I don’t see why not.

Cheers,

Kev

Thanks to the wonderful LibGDX I’ve just made wizards of yore available in javascript for ease of testing:

Let me know what you think,

Just done an update for all versions:

  • Sounds
  • Win Conditions
  • Rules for 6 sided dice only
  • AI updates
  • Visual Queues

Still nothing balanced - so hits are annoying at times. The game is now playable as:

At some point I’m going to have to work out how to charge for it :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Just did some playing around - LibGDX really is awesome. iOS Version is now building and working:

When Sauren’s thinking… it did freeze :frowning: (js ver)

#28

Thanks for letting me know! If you can remember, was sauren alone at the time (did he have any units?) Had he walked already?

Cheers,

Kev

#29

Beside the 4 starters, I remember there’s one flying purple thing (iphone SS 7,4). I don’t remember if he had walked but I just had my end turn twice (so I guess he had).

#30

Spent a few hours porting Legends of Yore over to LibGDX to resolve the iPhone issues. Will check out this issue now.

Cheers,

Kev

Thanks to the awesome LibGDX, I blogged my experience with it here:

I’ll certainly be using it going forward with Wizards of Yore. Speaking of Wizards I’ve mostly been working on graphics for the game and packaging it into a form that can be used for physical board game as well as the online game. You can see the unit cards I’ve just submitted for prototype printing:

Still pressing on with graphics at the moment. Back to code shortly.

Nice sprites, what tool is it?

#33


THANK YOU!!!

EDIT: It crashes after “Loading Dynamics…” :’(

EDIT 2: Realised that Apple wouldn’t have approved the update yet. I hate Apple.

Edit 3: 20 minutes late there was a new update. It launched, but the buttons are acting strange. They only work when you click to the top left of them.

#34

The tool for spriting is GIMP.

Legends of Yore - aware of the button position issues, new release shortly. Easy to fix now thanks to LibGDX :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Kev

#35

How do you fill, or draw the “big pixel”? (gah what I say) I mean, it only has pen brush which is round, not rectangle.

#36

I sprite at the single pixel level with zoom way up, then scale up as and when needed.

Cheers,

Kev

#37

Just seeing this now Kev, super cool! This is mostly what I wanted Arcane Tactics to be. I’m jealous. :stuck_out_tongue:

Glad you like libgdx. Be sure to check out scene2d and especially TableLayout! :slight_smile:

#38

Neato! Glad submission worked out as well. @scene2d: don’t go there, it’s a dark place!

#39

Huh? Why is scene2d a dark place? It’s probably missing a “TextArea”, but everything else is pretty much okey…

And TableLayout is awesome…

Hm…

#40

Because Mario is scared of anything I write. :stuck_out_tongue: scene2d is super awesome!
