Are you interested in making your own strategy game -easily-?
« on: November 20, 2003, 02:02:38 AM »
My already complete freeware game 2Decide
would dearly like more themes and campaigns.

It basically is a fully fledged strategy game construction kit
and comes with a level editor,
so that when you have made -your- theme
(or you and your friends perhaps...?)
you can make campaigns for it.
(with briefing/story text and all)

I have already done this,
and it was great fun!
(3 complete themes + a theme by another cool guy)

If this game gets more support,
I might get into coding for it again
because its real easy to add more features
and I am pondering if I should make it become
the first game that can be both turn based
AND realtime, by choice from the user.
But for me to get enough motivation,
I now wanna see if anyone is interested
in either making themes or campaigns,
or just give me ideas on how to make it better,
of wich you then will get credit for.

It will stay freeware and opensource as it is now.

Please ask if you have any questions.

PS: The game multitasks and does not have any sound, so that you can listen to your favourite music while you play.

I -REALLY- wish I had a website
where themes and campaigns could be uploaded
and such things.

But I dont. :(

And I didnt think anyone was interested enough anyway,
since noone said anything when I uploaded it to aminet.

Thanx for being interested. :)

I -REALLY- wish I had a website...


Want me to set you up with 2decide.amigadeals.com ?
(Did I mention I also own my own hosting company?)

I can grant you that subdomain, ftp access, file space, etc.. Could even slap up a nice forum (php/mySQL) on it if you think you'll need one. How much $? I hear you saying... Well for you, today, cause you got a lucky face. Free. :)

Let me know if you'd like to do that. Come to think of it, if there is enough demand from Amiga authors, maybe I'll make a new website www.amigacoders.com and let aspiring Amiga authors host their stuff there. Hmm, that sounds like work though.
If I have military spec stuff listed on eBay, you can find it here  :-)

Only if people are interested enough
or else it probably wont be used. :/

If you only want to host a few files temporarily I could put them online as well if you email them (and they're not huge :-D )

heh, what was I thinking...?
how stupid can I get??

I actually thought
that someone would be interested
in a game that actually exists.
HAHAHA.. IM SO STUPID!...

Now I know that we should talk about
and support games that doesnt exist.
yes, thats the way to go.

I am truly sorry,
I should have started a thread
where I post a screenshot of some other game
and say that I need people to make a similar one.

my bad...

Yes, but obviously turnbased and realtime
cant work togheter,
so I would probably make some new options like:

Gameflow - Turn based
           Pseudo real time
           real time


I have some ideas of how to make it possible,
but unless noone makes any more
themes or campaigns,
then im not sure if I should bother...

Simply:
If anyone support this game,
then ill support it too.

Just jump into it and make something,
its not that hard. ;)
Maybe just a one mission campaign,
or perhaps a new unit for a theme...?

PS: you can write your own credits
in the themes and campaigns you make.
