build 015 changes:
- game works a lot^2 faster


MereMonkey your honest feedback pushed me here to invent some cool optimization code and thanks to that game now runs smooth again! Thank you sir

(more fixes under way)

 Thank you MereMonkey for your feedback! I'm adding those points to my TODO list I kind of realize that those things need to be fixed but it's always super helpful to hear that info from others.
 And oh yes, sfx layer is barely existing at this point... so as my skills in FruityLoops . But I realize that this particular game may hold some promise later on to benefit greatly from some proper sound design & maybe little auditory storytelling

build 014 changes:
- units now require supply points
- some units can be deployed on buildings



- new unit type: guard tower

first concept for enemy faction:

 Hi,
 I call this project "Hold Your Positions!". It's something borderline tower defense (I guess).

run in browser (win/mac/linux)
download build 17 (win64)

How to play this test level:
1. Build defense/ambush line spending supply points
2. Click "Keep Your Positions!" when defense is ready
3. Observe and help your guys win/lose using <Take Control> ui button (direct control over unit)

Controls:
WASD QE - camera control
mouse left/right buttons - fire control (when in direct control mode)

Debug controls:
space - 'bullet time'
<> - time control

Any ideas, c&c are welcome. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi. I submitted bugreport (game breaking one). Look into your SmoothFollow.updateCameraPosition() method. I bet you just forgot to fill some fields in inspector.

Charming, simple and addictive. I like it!

"Rubber & Lead" +1
"Heavens Below" sounds ok, but you may want to change that illustration with girl on a pink phallic thing to something else



What do you think about "Keep Your Positions!"? I'm not a native english speaker and I'm concerned about it's proper english-ness
It supposed to be for kind of tower defense game hence "Keep Your Positions!" (something probably to be vocalized as shout at start). What do you think? Yay or Nay?


Edit: Thank you guys for your feedback!

Too much C# and cute kitties My brain seriously needed therapeutic 15 min break just to enjoy making something 'evil'

Framerate was optimal. On my pc (intel core2 2ghz, 4gb ram, win 8.1 64, gtx 275) Skyw0r runs super smooth.

Playing today I noticed that edurium seems to be very hard to replenish. You may want to look into that sir (maybe player can mine it? destroyed ships would drop it?).
And while missions seems to give you coordinates it could be probably reasonable not to expect that player will remember that numbers and give him some indicators on the main map where which destinations are.

You were right Davido - exception in DEP was needed.

Skyw0r really reminds me C64-era games - for good and some bad (it's hard to figure out what i'm suppose to do, what is what and lacks human characters/portraits to help storytell). I really like it's very distinctive visuals and sound concept, it's like Elite meets Hotline Miami! :D. Imho if you add more good stuff from nowadays games like visual storytelling clues ("you're being attack by triangles" vs "you're being attacked by xeno-repilian-fungi-pirate who wants to eat your heart") and more smooth learning curve this has potential to be awesome!

Hi Mya,
My subjective observation is that blocking / defensive approach probably isn't working right now; makes me lose while constant offensive scores one win after another.

ps: this brain death animation is gross :D

Hi Davido,
Interesting concept. I wanted to check it out but my win8.1 pc crashes this game for some reason :< (error message is plain "stopped working"). Pm me if there is any log file you would be interested in.

I imagine enemies to look like probably like this (first drawing). And player will command anthropomorphic cats - of course

Hello
I call this project "Hold Your Positions!". It's something borderline tower defense I guess and I will appreciate you feedback on what is here so far.

Just played - awesome. Fun/interesting gameplay and artwork on good track.

I posted link about your game on polish equivalent of reddit yesterday... and today it's on front page. I hope you won't be mad at me for galvanizing such passionate attention there, sir.

Hi! I find it difficult to believe you're not a Pole :D this game looks incredibly Polish

Well it looks not extremely exciting I guess. Plain bubbles and clouds are rather generic.
Sir, add at least one thing here no human seem before - something deep from your awesome imagination 

Looks very interesting. I would love to play it but Avast says it's infected with "DRep" for some reason
