daank Posted August 30, 2016 Hello all, I've made a simple Risk-like game called RAWAR and I'm looking for a few players to try it. RAWAR is played on a map of coloured squares. Users can build castles, shipyards, dragondens, walls and goldmines to get stronger than their enemies. Up to 8 bots are available for when no other players are online. It is available for Android here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kogelmans.RAWAR You can play it in your browser here: https://daankogelmans.itch.io/rawar (loading may take up to 25 secs, sorry about that) What's special about RAWAR is that it's pure strategy: It's all about fighting the war. RAWAR does not rely on economy-mechanics, micromanaging farmers, or infinitely upgrading buildings to be fun. The only way to win is by outsmarting the enemy. (All of Sun Tzu's war-rules apply) Furthermore: RAWAR has a unique path-following system. Instead of a pathfinding mechanism, RAWAR lets users drag paths that the units follow over the map. This way you have full control over hundreds of moving soldiers and you can fight multi-front battles. Screenshots: I hope you like it! Please send me any feedback so I can keep improving this game.

valambrian Posted September 2, 2016 Hi Daan, I tried the game but couldn't figure out why my troops liked to follow arrows so much and how to make them stop doing this. If there was a link to the manual, I missed it. Tell people how to play. Cheers, valambrian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daank Posted September 2, 2016 Hi valambrian, thank you for your feedback! There is a help-button in the game and there's also a link to an intro-video (in the menu). Clearly these are not visible enough. I will make changes today so that new users are forced to the help-menu before they start playing. Thanks again! -- Daan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valambrian Posted September 4, 2016 Have you posted about RAWAR on TIG Source forums (https://forums.tigsource.com)? It's a place where many indie game developers flock, and you might get some useful feedback there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
