Title: Uncivil [FINISHED] Post by: Sanojian on January 21, 2011, 01:18:34 PM Uncivil - an Alternate History of the US Civil War Latest version -posted February 26, 2011 (http://i54.tinypic.com/24ypdn4.png) Latest version: Play Uncivil 0.0.3 (http://uncivilgame.appspot.com) (requires Google account) Original Recipe - posted January 21, 2011 (http://i54.tinypic.com/e662yq.png) just a mockup Its North vs South, but in this history Europe never gave up on colonizing the new world. Hex map played real-timish (1 move every 5 seconds). Game lasts 30 minutes. Playable factions: Union - "Can't we all just get along?" objective: wipe out the confederacy Confederacy - "Its about state's rights. Why what did you think?" objective: hold six cities until 1870 Britain - "We need new harbors for our seamen." objective: hold five port cities in 1870 France - "Oh, give us land, lots of land under starry skies above..." objective: take eight cities by 1870 Spain - "Mama needs a new pair of everything." objective: send $2000 back to Spain by 1870 Natives - "Umm, its been fun but shouldn't you all be leaving now?" objective: don't let either North or South win More than one faction can be a winner! Play today! Or, I mean after we write it. Team Programming: Sanojian Artwork: dbb Sound: looking for volunteers (can you play the banjo?) Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: ChevyRay on January 21, 2011, 01:44:16 PM Nice mockup! Looking good so far, whatcha programming it with?
Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: Sanojian on January 21, 2011, 01:57:42 PM Thanks! I will be using:
Graphics: Raphael javascript vector graphics library Server: Google App Engine Networking: Google Channel API Sound: SoundManager 2 Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: Sos on January 21, 2011, 02:03:22 PM Networking: Google Channel API Wow, never heard of it. Is it free? Also, mockup looks awesome! Will it involve Risk / North&South style land conquer? Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: Daniel Eddeland on January 21, 2011, 02:33:54 PM Cool mockup and idea. Is (any of) the art in the mockup made by your team / dbb?
Judging by the many teams and goals, this looks like playing a game of this could be very complicated and interesting. From the looks of the descriptions, you (or whoever wrote it) seem to be a witty person and I'd love to see more of this humor in the game. Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: dbb on January 21, 2011, 04:00:05 PM Is (any of) the art in the mockup made by your team / dbb? The unit sprites and the portraits are by me. The terrain tiles aren't. I'll be doing more graphics just as soon as my new tablet arrives in the post. Old one died just as I was getting into it.Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: Daniel Eddeland on January 21, 2011, 04:08:37 PM The unit sprites and the portraits are by me. They're very nice! They really look like little miniature soldiers on a game board / table (kindof like Risk, but with more colors and detail). :) The neck on the foot soldiers seem just a little stiff though. Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: Inanimate on January 21, 2011, 04:39:47 PM Alternate history RTSes... I've seen them, and they are always so ambitious! Best of luck here, mates!
Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: Sanojian on January 21, 2011, 09:53:42 PM Wow, never heard of it. Is it free? It was just released in December. Yes it is free but it requires you to use Google App Engine (also free) on the server (Java or Perl). Google Channel API (Java) (http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/channel/overview.html) Also, mockup looks awesome! Will it involve Risk / North&South style land conquer? Thanks! Fighting will revolve around capturing cities. Cities give money every X ticks for refilling/improving your army units. I have never played North&South so can't comment on that.

Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: rivon on February 05, 2011, 03:58:21 PM Looks very good.
Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: Starflier on February 05, 2011, 09:58:42 PM This is so beautiful. I love the way the different nation's objectives tie in with the tongue-in-cheek historical narrative.
Title: Re: Uncivil Post by: mikejkelley on February 05, 2011, 10:17:05 PM I like it very much!

As much as it hurts me to say it, I don't think I can finish this game by the deadline. I will probably have to start cutting features pretty drastically to have something finished by sunday. I wish I could get some time together to get everything in but real life is just not permitting it.
