* Zeta Prime * by anthonyl

[raw]
made by anthonyl for LD21 (-)
A Fun text based sim/adventure/strategy game.. it may been seem pretty complicated but there are instructions included.

at the moment now I only have a OS-X build; since Its written with Ogre3D and CEGUI I should be able to generate a windows build without to many problems which I will probably do tomorrow.. i'm pretty worn out right now and dealing with the library/linking issues that may pop up seem a lot less fun then a nap.



* EDIT: windows build uploaded
( windows version requires the dx runtime http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=35 )

since i didn't make a fancy installer


I hope you enjoy the game; there is a lot more I would have liked the time to add (and may in the future)

The game-concept was good. It could be developed better. I missed a tutorial of some sort and it was a bit buggy. After my first unit died I had 2 unit 3's.

I was enjoying this, seeing it as well balanced and fun with a decent fighting system, then suddenly 2 of my units are killed in 1 hit each on the same place, same turn early on (84 and 68 points of damage), which just put me off sad to say. Otherwise, its fun, fits the theme, and well programmed from what I can tell. I might bring myself to play it further again sometime but as of yet I haven't beaten it.

Whoops on the unit auto naming.. you can if you wish rename units with the rename command

as for the epic damage you can use a scout (which can evade enemy damage) and a defender class to tank and hit before sending in units with a low defense bonus..


this is the first game I've written like this so theres a bit of tweaking that still needs to be done

The game progresses slowly, but I'm enjoying it. There's a slight issue with some of the help text being cut off on the right side. Well-conceived, and fun!

Won't run on Linux with wine. A port would be appreciated =). Your game looks according to description, screenshots and journal...

It starts up, then nothing really happens other than the interface screen.

The text is rendered in a way that is unreadable in my computer.

Yep, a tutorial would really help me understand this game better. It took me a while to figure out that I could move a unit =X Also, a command history would help =) But nice job =)
