You say “best”, “highest performing” etc, but we asked a panel of immorally wealthy, elderly white male sex offenders who their ideal upper management employee was - and they unanimously suggested other immorally wealthy, elderly white male sex offenders, and suggested that employing anyone else is a DEI hire.

It’s hard to tell. I hope somebody has left a trail of single notebook pages, diary pages and dictaphones scattered in various drawers and cupboards nearby.

This is really interesting, thank you :)

Also available on Kobo (Canadian Company) as an e-book. It does contain Adobe DRM though, so you would need to remove that with Calibre if you want to keep it on other devices.

I think I must use them wrong.

My categories are mostly used to organise by where they’re installed - so Desktop, Laptop, Steam Deck Internal, Steam Deck SD Card 1, SD Card 2 etc. If I want to play that game, where’s it already installed?

The only category that relates to the games content is “wheel games” which is driving games that work well with wheel/pedals/gearstick.

If there’s any form of argument or debate, everyone cares about the correct spelling and grammar of their opponents.

What a lovely, fun little game! Thanks for sharing :)

When adults said things like “In this day and age, nobody says please and thankyou any more”, I misinterpreted “this day and age” as “The Stayan Age”, which was our current age, which obviously followed on from Bronze Age, Iron Age etc.

I had a play on the demo this evening, probably about 1hr 30 for the full match. I enjoyed playing it, and I think you’ve got the base gameplay loop working nicely.

There were a few quirks with the AI opponent getting its soldiers stuck in furniture, and repeatedly trying to reposition them until out of energy, and a few times where I struggled with positioning on top of something (instead of inside/under), but essentially no game-stopping bugs.

I was playing on Linux Mint - I didn’t look whether it’s Linux native or running through Proton, but it runs nicely regardless.

Without a campaign, it likely limits the replayability a bit - but the general gameplay itself is fun, and a great position to be in for developing things further, in whatever direction you want to go.

Also, just to note a campaign doesn’t need to be all cutscenes and gripping plot and voice acting and drama - a set of different maps that follow in an order, starting easier and getting harder (or introducing new units or map features on each level) would do the job just fine. Also, some people won’t care about single player campaign things at all - so please don’t take my personal opinion as the opinion of everyone :)

Anyway, it was good fun to play. I’ll put it on my wishlist, and I wish you good luck with the launch and ongoing development :)

Big congratulations for getting this far! Well done! There’s some novel ideas in this, which must be quite hard to do in a genre like RTS which leans heavily on familiarity.

Is it currently just single isolated random battles, or is there some sort of linked-mission pre-scripted campaign to take over the house or anything like that?

[Edit] After playing the demo, I realise it’s turn-based strategy rather than real-time strategy, but still the point stands.

According to the best school playground scientists of the time, opening a packet of crisps upside down (i.e. so the branding/writing is upside down, and you open the bottom of the packet, at the top) actually “made you gay”.

It wasn’t just gay if you did it, but it would literally cause a spontaneous eruption of gayness in whoever did it - who would be permanently gay from that point onwards.

In the 1990s in the UK, it was gay to wear a backpack using both shoulder straps (as opposed to using one strap over one shoulder, which was the heterosexual way to carry things to school).

I genuinely didn’t realise that! It looked like they were missing, and just had the little nubs underneath.

Would you perhaps like to imagine they were missing, if only for the sake of my previous comment? :)

How often do you write the word “wads”? I can see a potential problem.

All three of ours play fetch, but only with specific objects. They’re all brothers about 2½ years old.

The tabby cat plays fetch with fluffy toy balls with feathers on them, the grey cat plays fetch with spare cat collars and the little black cat plays fetch with menthol sweet wrappers.

Also used to make Mummy Brown Paint (wikipedia link)

… “étoile de mer”, which would roughly translate as “star of the sea” or “sea star” - the same as the Spanish “estrella de mar”, Portuguese “estrela do mar” or Romanian “stea de mare”.

I miss lovely, earthy, warm, friendly chocolatey Brownbuntu.

I always felt purplebuntu was a bit vile.

I might be wrong, but wasn’t Movit just for timeline preview, and hadn’t worked properly for quite a few versions and now you just use the NVENC/VAAPI etc export profiles to export with GPU?
