AWNT game development

[wodin]

Hello All,

Work continues on our first game, still early in development but today I've decided to tell you all what game we are converting to PC.

We decided to take on as our first War game conversion something not overly complex and rule heavy but is good fun.

So the game we are working on is Minden Games Combat Leader. Scale man vs man, where there is a gap in market anyway.

Hoping this will be a great little time filler.

Still long by way to go!!

We could have gone for something rule heavy or more main stream, but we decided to start with a smaller project first. We will move into more heavy weight games further down the line, and when we feel we can do a game say like a Wings of Glory conversion justice then we hope to take on this sort of conversion project.

Sounds good.

Good luck with your line.

Any chance of port to mobile for the more simplistic games ?

Would be cool, have to see how easy it will be to convert for devices, if it's possible it's something we'd like to do.

The team consists of just two people. Finally I want us to be known for gameplay and immersion more so than all dancing graphics. Games that fire up imagination through use of chrome.

Glad to hear that you are open to that.

On both PC and Mobile, such a game is needed.

The old Shrapnel games are way too "dated" at this point and (next closest) JTS Squad Battles is not man to man.

The Shrapnel level graphics would be fine in my book as long as they could be played without a lot of "fiddling" on modern OS or if they were published to tablets.

Oh ... and if the first release was on the East Front (perhaps in Stalingrad) I would not be overly disappointed [;)]

Sort of a modern version of SSI's Computer Ambush? There's a slew of Breach and Clear-type games on Steam, but real WW2 equipment and tactics could be interesting. The Frozen Synapse stuff has zero immersion (for me), so could be good - if that's what you're thinking. Anyway, good luck in development.

Ambitious, but I'd like to see you succeed.

You are right though, not a lot of content out there for single man oriented digital WWII wargame.

I enjoyed playing the Nintendo DS design called T.A.C. Heroes The Big Red One. Simple but fun.
Shrapnel's offering is dated to almost non-relevance.
And Legends of War Patton's Campaign is probably better left forgotten.

I know of a few board games at the single man level that might be fun to see ported to a machine.
I own The Sniper series including Sniper, Hetzer Sniper and Special Forces Sniper.
