Title: Reckless Squad (RTS) [Demo available now]
Post by: Patedam on August 09, 2010, 07:09:38 AM
Hello,

I'm Paul. I'm one of the three creators of D2P Games, a new Indie Developer based in Montreal (Quebec, Canada)
During the last 7 months :handpencil::tired::handjoystick: , we worked on Reckless Squad, here is the game concept :

Quote
Reckless Squad is a real-time strategy game where your only goal is to protect a convoy during its dangerous journey.
You have at your disposal many units with unique abilities and you must figure out how to use them best to face hordes of enemies in various situations across the world.
Sometimes you will find places to rest, recruit new units and buy better equipment. And sometimes you will have to defeat or escape from terrible creatures.

Every journey is unique, the game will adapt itself to your way of playing by helping you or by pushing you to your last boundaries.
However, it will always ensure that you get the most enjoying experience.

Since the early days of development, we wrote a devlog on our blog  :handthumbsupL::):handthumbsupR: , but unfortunately, we didn't catch a big audience.:shrug2:
Today, we are working on the post-beta version of the game and we have made a Trailer :

Now we are looking for an audience (  :beg: ), because we need to popularize the game before thinking about sell it. :handmoneyL::ninja::handmoneyR:
As twitter, facebook and our blog aren't totally efficient, i thought that talk about our game on boards would be a good idea.

So here i am, i will post here some news about the game, probably each week.
By the way, you can find freshest news on the blog.

I hope you'll enjoy it.

Edit : The demo is available now : http://www.d2p-games.com/reckless_squad/

Looks interesting! I'll try to keep my :blink: on it.

Here's a smoothed out version of the description, which corrects the issues in the english you used:

Thanks !

Do you have any experience with these websites ? Or experience in PR ? ^^

Become PR guru is harder than expected :)

Nope to either, but i hear they are fairly large in the indie games community. I'm also making my own game, so wouldn't be able to help you sorry :(
