rizz1010 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi all, Armed For Battle is my brand new strategy game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.I've been working on it for over 2 years, and it is nearly ready for a cartridge release. At Midwest Gaming Classic (April 12 & 13 in Wisconsin), I will have a special demo available to play.I also have a demo available to play right now at my blog.http://1010howe.blogspot.com/ Here are 3 trailers showing gameplay (a little old now): Trailer 3 - showing Battle View Trailer 2 - showing World View Trailer 1 - showing Castle View where you build your town (this view has been modified just a bit for the final product) More recent videos (gameplay tutorials) are on my youtube channel. The box and manual are currently in production. PM me with your email, and I will send you important updates, such as the cartridge release.Or you can watch my blog, which gets updated about every week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Sweet! Count me in! Great job! Can't wait till we also release our NES homebrew as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy_Whelan Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 That looks like an awesome game! I have not read through the blog yet but I hope it will have a save feature so that you do not have to start over every time. Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Looks interesting but don't you think the steps in mapping the land are very tedious and time consuming? I can see walking over unmapped land to show whats there but selecting each square in advance then waiting for each square to get walked over then waiting for it to be revealed would drive me insane. No offense intended it looks cool just too slow for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotwo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Not sure if it's something I'd play as I'm not the biggest fan of strategy games... But it does indeed look very interesting. Great effort I really like the box and manual, it seems to be just that right kind of cardboard you'd find in game boxes of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizz1010 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sweet! Count me in! Great job! Can't wait till we also release our NES homebrew as well Thanks! I checked out your products quick - very cool. Is your NES homebrew listed though (I only saw other systems)? That looks like an awesome game! I have not read through the blog yet but I hope it will have a save feature so that you do not have to start over every time. Troy Each level in Story Mode has a password (not a LONG password like NES games usually have - it's a 4 character password using upper/lower case). You'll have to start at the beginning of the level, but you definitely don't have to play through the whole game in 1 sitting. Looks interesting but don't you think the steps in mapping the land are very tedious and time consuming? I can see walking over unmapped land to show whats there but selecting each square in advance then waiting for each square to get walked over then waiting for it to be revealed would drive me insane. No offense intended it looks cool just too slow for my taste. Actually, I'm quite pleased with how the mapping turned out. You have 4 scouts that you can send out at a time. When they are fully upgraded, each scout can go out and map 5 squares each. Plus, you can send out 4 groups of Wizards (each group mapping 6 squares when fully upgraded). That's a lot of coverage once you get to the point of having things upgraded. It's just like any RTS where things speed up as you play. Also, when you send out guys to map the land, you'll be busy with other things like troop training, building your town, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
