Thread: Pre-Alpha Release of new Tactics-Style Game!

  1. #21

    Cool. I can't wait to see the code.I only mentioned UnityWeb because I've built an SRPG engine and I could take the Characters and their Features and just plug them in.So I would just need the art assets and SFX. I have Lobby and Matchmaking done. If Store Purchases are using In game currency, then I can use my Battle results code to allot the gold and then make a separate menu for purchasing Units. Maybe put the store in a menu similar to TAO's Unit set up screen.

    TLR; (I'd just need):
    -New Characters to play with, better re balancing of old characters (art, idea-design, animation //, minor coding)
    -Integration with 3rd party login site APIs (so that people from kongregate can play/other websites don't need to login through us).

    And I wouldn't charge a dime. If it's just to re-do TAO at it's core and add more functionality, then I can do that no problem.

    Oh cool. sounds neat. I'd like to look at your stuff before I commit to a rebuild of my work. Things such as:
    -How your networking is implemented
    -How you do databases, authentication, and the like
    -How you deploy your unity build to servers
    -How your game loop functions (ie how do generalize troop abilities)
    -How well documented it is

    Is your Unity SRPG engine shared/open source by chance that I could look at?

    -How your networking is implemented
    I use Photon Unity Networking but other methods work just fine.

    -How you do databases, authentication, and the like
    I could use Steam as I have a License there and could just put the game there free to play. My AI programmer is also skilled in server implementations and the rest.

    -How you deploy your unity build to servers
    Steam again, but we have other alternatives.

    -How your game loop functions (ie how do generalize troop abilities)
    The classes are created with a combination of the Decorator/Strategy Patterns coupled with some Tensors for move-trees. This way moves and animations can be assigned
    arbitrarily. All of the Attacks , Searches, Effects, etc are batched to a templated delegate system that executes any desired function across any desired partition of the board.
    It takes me less than an hour to completely finish a new Unit. All that is required are assets(animations,sfx,models) which you've already made.

    -How well documented it is
    All commented with a version control(git).

    Is your Unity SRPG engine shared/open source by chance that I could look at?
    Unfortunately, it isn't. It's being used to run our game which is due on Steam for Early Access August 4th. I just wouldn't mind helping create another TAO while I have the free-time(till May). I can send you a Key to my game if you'd like to see. All I'd have to do is turn off the real-time code,over-watch system,push mechanics, etc and it'd just be a regular SRPG. So I would, with your blessing:
    1 Take any assets/ccharacter types you made and turn it into a Unity version.
    2 Release it on Steam for free.
    3 Just ask that a Patreon be supplied to pay for the servers.
    4 Add new Content over time.
    In just this month I've added 8 new Units in the build I'm working on. To give you a scope:
    HammerKnight, Spearman, Trap-Setter, Mime, Sealing Ward, Thunder Ward, BomberMan(lol), Ogre.
    Each unit at a minimum has 4 abilities with potentially 2 over-watches.

    Of course if you plan to release a commercial build then I understand if you don't commit to a rebuild.

    EDIT: Do you know of anyone with the original models from TAO? A long shot, but I'd love to have those.

    Cool sounds like a good design (and your game looks super cool!). Though I'm not going to commit to a Unity port at this time, maybe I'll look into it later.

    From what I know, the original TAO didn't have models in it, I think everything was just GIFs. There's an archive site that holds a lot of the old TAO information, it may have some the old graphics. Though I'd venture to guess it'd be copyright infringement to use them. I think hulky told me about it a bit ago. Here's a link: https://web.archive.org/web/20080208...ena.com/units/

    BrutalRage has everything TAO related. I mean everything. You can probably contact him through Facebook.

    Thanks for the link! I really missed the models and at the least just want a local copy of them. I can still give you a key to my game if you'd like. Whenever you want to commit to the port just let me know. It wouldn't take me more than 2 weeks. I just don't wanna go implementing without your permission.

    He isn't on here, if you search the names in the Facebook group, you'll find him. I think his name is Dave Clark. This is his website: http://taorankings.com/

    And this is the game he shelved for now: http://www.taorankings.com/html5/

    Who? Hulky or BrutalRage?

    BR made his game identical to TAO and very close to UnitofTime's. I don't think he was planning on changing very much from the original. A lot of people would be interested in a game more similar to TAO.
