We've finally finished making Stratagem Samurai. It's our orders-based tactics game. It's an experiment with different unit movement.
It's our first game, so we've learned a lot making it.
We hope you enjoy it. Download it on here for free or pay what you want: kisaragi435.itch.io/stratagem-sa...

Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts.
There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

I think the biggest lesson I've learned from finally properly finishing making a game is proper scoping.
I've also had to try my hand on doing basic marketing and being outgoing on social medias.
The experience was a little disappointing, but it's just fueling me to want to keep going and trying.

I sometimes tell folks that Arcs is the game I'm most proud of as a piece of design. I usually don't get into the details because, as the length of the video indicates, it's a little tricky and some of the things I'm proudest of in the game are things I want players to sort out for themselves.

You guys have any good Game Dev / Game Design podcasts recommendations?
I just listened to this good ep from Game Data about the making of Solium Infernum. It's really good and really goes deep into how they modeled stuff in the simulation.

I dunno if it's just me, but a lot of my game ideas turn out to just be improving old games that I enjoyed.
I hear that's a good strategy to sell some games, but the issue is that the games I subconsciously try to improve upon aren't that popular to begin with.

Took a break from working on Stratagem Samurai to work on a prototype. I've had the concept for it for a while, but something clicked this week.
It's too early to share stuff about it yet but I figured out what was missing and turned it from a toy to a proper game.
Now, back to finishing Samurai.

Now with In-game tutorials!
Our game, Stratagem Samurai, is easy to play, but it does need a bit of explanation. So we've added a button that opens a tutorial to help out new players better.
Play it on here: kisaragi435.itch.io/stratagem-sa...
Do reach out for any feedback!

Currently building an HG Gundam Vidar.
It's really quite good and looks so cool already that it doesn't really need painting. Just a bunch of easy color corrections.

There are now card limits for specific cards in deck selection.
One card turned was too OP, so we had to implement a new feature to tone it down to a max of three copies.
It feels blunt but it's the limit is giving me ideas for more cards already.

What non video game thing inspires you to do #gamedev?
For me, this battle scene from Ran (1985) made me fall in love with muskets and since then, I keep trying to squeeze them into my designs.

I finally played the boardgame Scythe last month, so I wanted to draw one of the mechs.
This is based on Polania's mech.
Self critic time: I've still not figured out how to make mechs isometric. But maybe giving myself more than 32x32 could help. And more colors too. Or fewer of both?
