Game board:
The desired game board is 11 wide x 12 long with tapered back two rows at 9 and 7 wide. 5 rows on each side are customizable for unit placement by the relevant two players and the middle two rows are no mans land.
It's important to have lines between tiles so players can easily see the tiles to calculate values.
Scrolling the camera is useful for seeing larger maps and larger means better graphics as the units aren't so small.
EDIT: 12 x 11 looks better, basically rotate so Left v. Right instead of Up v. Down.
Using project Game Project
Deleted extra scenes to make it easier to follow
Removed palm trees since they don't really fit the theme
Added custom formations
Disabled counter attack
Enabled action after attack
Enabled flanking
- need to calculate correct angles and damage reduction
Haven't figured out how to make units be in the way of ranged attack
Need to push hills out of the way of the grid (done)
Need to fix turn order
What happened with Matt's project

Bump. Hows this thing goin? Yall got a little over a year until I'm done w/ grad school. That should be plenty of time. :p
My computer broke so I have nothing. I dunno if Matt's doing it anymore I haven't even seen him on the forums recently.Quote:

wait ownership rights to the new units you created or the original ones?Quote:

kash has been banned for a week so I'm sure in that time he's come up with some great suggestions and code for the new game.
Different pro made ones animated and ready to go. Also the core coding of a TBS I have rights to use. What I didn't know how to do was multiplayer networking and that stuff, which is what matt roe had down.Quote:

Also an open world like the video I posted months ago that no one really cared about.

I echo Wizzy's words. If you want to make a game that you will be proud of, I think you should do it, and not worry so much about the initial reception. Good game + marketing = win.
If you're not feeling it, then that's your choice and no one will judge you.
(except me, as I'm waiting to find another game that I can trounce Philly at)
Patiently waiting! Would like to see something come out of all this effort it would be a shame if we never gave it a shot.
Hey man, I wouldn't judge it based on the response on these forums. I mean... How many regular posters are there left here? And how many of them were actually interested in TAO when it went down? I think Wizzy and A-99 hit the nail on the head. Don't make a game for us. Make it for yourself. And if you don't want to go through with it, that's cool too.
They updated the program I was building it with and it looks like their is multiplayer support now but I don't know anything about it. Still fiddling with it, but like 0 expectations.
