[TAO]

Hi @sirbots , I’m thinking of making a game similar to your war game. I posted the sneak peak in one of my forums (https://forum.creaticode.com/topic/1995/sneak-peak-for-my-next-game). Can you tell me if it looks good at first glance? Also, this isn’t a direct copy of your game, I’m using ideas from my previous top down games like Bot Test.

Also, it’s really tricky for me to make detection on enemies. If I make friendly AI units, I may also need help on that. If you are fine with helping me on that as well I would really appreciate it. You are the only one that I know that makes games similar to this.

[SirBots]

@the_true_odst use my targeting system for my bots. It’s hard to explain

[TAO]

@sirbots I figured out the targeting system (albeit everything does need to be smaller), if you check my sneak peak topic

Development Notes

This update is focused on adding the next set of abilities, adjusting the AI to also have those abilities applied to them, performing some quality of life changes, and bug fixes.

This update adds 4 new abilities.

For the AI, A change was made so that the ability assigned to the Support class involving it’s increased size is applied.

After performing some battle trials, a small increase in the rate at which Medics can heal when above 50 HP was applied.

For the Support class, it’s size increase due to its ability was reduced to make the likely hood of the AI hitting the player and subsequent opponents less likely.

For the Medic and Support classes, it was made so that they spawn at their maximum possible HP, instead of the benchmark 100 HP. This is done so both of these classes can utilize the benefits of their abilities right away.

For the Assault class, it was made so that this class would be pre selected upon spawning without selecting a class beforehand.

Lastly, multiple bug fixes were made.

The next update will focus on balance and adding the last 2 classes, along with further bug fixes.
