pfp is rommel witnessing the end
banner - off we go into the wild pale yonder
full furry type
I was on cohost
Not much has changed visually but much has changed physically. We're on roughly day 13? 14?
New features:
-4 unit types, with varying stats and what not
-Direct and indirect attacks coded in (advance wars terms it is what it is)
-Map editor, with choices of tiles and units and basic ui elements
-Combat exists and you know the game is playable now in a way
So are indirect attacks like explosives and artillery and whatnot
I haven’t played advance wars
yeah this exactly this is good intuition, btw could you tell I was dead tired when I wrote this post
ps the original advance wars only had 18 units so I'm not far off that goal
ps ps I think the reason the game "only" has 20 units is. I mean partly due to resource limitations. But also I get the feeling that adding too many units to a game would bloat the design, make stuff harder to remember, sand off any potential strength/weakness calculations and make the game worse in general.
Anyway it would be bad design haha I sure hope I'm not kind of planning to just cram in a buncha random units
I'm going to be kind of annoying about this game going forward and I will at some point write a post about how advance wars has to remain pg and therefore despite being a game about war cannot have anyone die
it honestly makes the experience so much better because instead of dying soldiers just fly into the sunset and instead of being shot down the bombers just awkwardly drift backward
