Thorondor Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2jmFfELKwk BATTLETECH is a single-player, turn-based, tactical 'Mech combat game set in the classic 3025 era of the BattleTech Universe. BATTLETECH is set in a universe at perpetual war, fought by militarized factions utilizing huge, mechanized combat vehicles called BattleMechs. Following centuries of space colonization and the rise of six Great Noble Houses, treachery undermined the Star League and toppled its First Lord. The rulers of the five remaining Houses each proclaimed themselves the new First Lord, and so the Succession Wars began - hundreds of years of mechanized armies, scavenged technology, and political machinations. Now, in 3025, each faction is near its breaking point. An uneasy stalemate sets in as the Houses scrape to rebuild their holdings, reinforce their worlds, and restock their 'Mech armies. But the conflict continues as the nobility drives their agendas forward covertly through the use of mercenaries... :: Kickstarting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorondor Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 https://veronagame.com/css/frontend/img/poster.jpg VERONA – a video game inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Joss Whedon's cult TV series Firefly. With strong narrative and seamless story integration, our aim is to create a science-fiction action adventure game with an open storyline structure and multiple possible endings. The Earth is falling into the Sun. The rich and the privileged already fled the planet and are living on the colonies, while millions were left behind. We play as a group of extractors (22nd century mercenary thieves) returning to this pre-apocalyptic Earth, stealing abandoned riches for the wealthy – until we find something more valuable. Our "Romeo" is an Extractor and our "Juliet" is a daughter of a high ranking Chevron. They meet and it will be up to the players, how they'll live or die in the end – their story will be modified in real-time, based on player actions and choices. :: Kickstarting here.

Thorondor Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 THE 7th CONTINENT - Explore. Survive. YOU are the hero! Lift curses or die trying in the first "choose-your-own-path" exploration board game. 1000+ minutes of adventure for 1 to 4 players. The 7th Continent is a cooperative exploration and survival board game with mechanics inspired by the adventure books where "you are the hero". On your own or in a team of up to 4 players, set off on an epic adventure and attempt to lift the curses that were placed upon you during your first expedition to the continent. Progress at your own pace through this mysterious land, building the board piece by piece with numbered Terrain and Event cards. Live a different adventure every time! There are dozens of random events and several alternatives for a single numbered card. You start each new game by choosing one of the characters available to you. Each one comes with his own set of Idea cards that represent his skills and personality (adventurer, herbalist, doctor, mercenary, etc.). No dice rolls! Make difficult choices and face the consequences thanks to the game's innovative mechanics that determine success or failure! If you want to live through the many dangers of the 7th Continent and lift your curse, you will have to use all your survival skills: craft items, hunt and fish to get food, learn how to benefit from your environment, spend experience points to acquire new abilities, etc. Unlike other board games, The 7th Continent will take you through many, MANY hours of adventure as you explore the continent to lift your curse... or die trying! To make this manageable, the game includes a simple yet effective save system that allows you to quickly interrupt the game at any time and have it ready for your next session, just like in a video game. :: Being Kickstarted here.

Thorondor Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 War of Rights is a multiplayer game set during the perilous days of the American Civil War, in the Maryland Campaign of September, 1862. With War of Rights, we are focusing on creating a group-based game with real Napoleonic-era tactics combined with the deadly accuracy of the "newer" weapons available in the period of the Civil War. Uniforms, equipment, artillery, houses, fields, and the locales are all portrayed as faithful as possible to the period we're showcasing in the game. All of this is thanks to the marvel that is the system of the CRYENGINE. Players will form companies and regiments and battle each other on the iconic locations of battlefields such as Antietam, South Mountain, and Harper's Ferry, following the chain of command from the rank and file private all the way up to the Major General. :: Get it Kickstarted here.

(...) complete with a rich interactive 3D map, collectable digital miniatures, an updated combat system and the ability to explore Firetop Mountain with multiple characters.

This allows for many different adventures that will access hidden locations and give you new ways to interact with characters and creatures you meet.

Enemies use different attack patterns and you must anticipate their moves whilst positioning yourself for the fatal blow. For old-school Fighting Fantasy fans, we will also be including the option to use the standard dice rolling mechanics as found in the original books. :: Being Kickstarted here.

The early medieval North Sea is waiting to test your mettle in this single player RPG with drop-in online battles. And if the sea does not kill you, pirates and sickness are already waiting in line. The whale path has many endings, a cold or bloody death at many of them. Whatever made you leave the warmth of your hearth, the dagger that cuts your throat does not care about your dreams. Choose your companions wisely, your oar brothers and sisters can keep you alive or sell you on a slave market. Explore the coast to discover safe harbours, markets and villages. The most important currency on the whale road is renown. Companions will follow you more willingly, if some of your fame rubs off onto them. Renown is not only gained by slaying ones enemies, but also by exploring and heroic deeds. Help your crew to solve their problems, and someone might stop the arrow aimed at your throat.

jeffNevington Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I am working (as part of a 3-person team) on an RTS/simulation game based around the world of ants. Many fans of the original Dungeon Keeper RTS game (1997) were deeply unsatisfied by EA’s re-release for mobile two years ago. Players were hoping for a more immersive RTS experience for their devices and it was not delivered. Partly inspired by this, and coupled with a desire to bring SimAnt into 2015 we decided to design an RTS for touchscreen and PC. The game, "Empires of the Undergrowth" is an RTS in which the player controls an ant colony. It features underground tunneling, nest construction and fast-paced battles with insects, arachnids and other colonies. This video explains game play in significant detail:https://www.youtube....h?v=W355uiCjfuA At the moment we are running a kickstarter to cover one of the 3 developer's living costs for the next year. Reaching our goal would significantly speed up production of the game. If you are into ants, controlling ants, or know someone who is - please take a look https://www.kickstar...the-undergrowth P.S.I just uploaded a gif that shows some of our combat algorithms in action with a technical explanationhttps://imgur.com/gallery/t3AlWst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
