An Update

Hello? It has been a while. Is there anyone still around here? It is probably time for an update. Back in April I stopped working at the startup where I have been the last 3 years.

Repeated intro

Hello? It has been a while. Is there anyone still around here? It is probably time for an update. Back in April I stopped working at the startup where I have been the last 3 years. Now back home in Australia, I'm working on gamedev again!

What changed

0 fixes1 addition2 changes1 removal
  • Gameplay
  • Server
addedI hope to be able to make roughly 2 games per year. These new games will be much smaller than CI, but still in the strategy/tactics genre, as that is what I enjoy. The first doesn't have a name yet, and is taking longer than expected as I slowly relearn forgotten skills. It is a quick tile-placement battler. It still needs some work, especially to make it prettier, but hopefully it will be finished by the end of the year.
changedNow some notes on Concealed Intent. Since the 1.3 update in April 2018, the code has not been touched, other than to keep the online server running. If there is a bug I will try to fix it and I will keep the online servers running, otherwise I do not plan on any significant work on CI.
removedThe next game I plan to make is... Concealed Intent 2D (or at least that is the working name). It has the same stealth/identification mechanics, but played on a 2D hex grid. This should make controlling the game much simpler, hopefully removing the original's most common complaint.
changedI will post the occasional update here. Otherwise follow me on twitter @JarrahTech or signup for my newsletter here . Note, Mailchimp shutdown my previous maillist due to inactivity, so if you had previously signed up, sorry, but you will need to do so again.
