I love 4X empire management, but sometimes I just want to jump straight into battle.
That’s why I designed my wargame to feel like a tabletop match: spend resources pre-game, then focus on the fight.
Do you prefer building empires or going straight to war?

Trying to figure out what to put around the edge of my map. I thought about adding grass/trees fading into fog, but it looked weird since those are usually hidden by fog of war. Any ideas?

Did a big UI update for the army‑building screen! My wife convinced me to spend $100 (a small fortune 😅) on skill icons—and I think it turned out really well!

Pixel art isn't just childhood nostalgia—it represents an era when tech limits forced games to prioritize gameplay over graphics. I miss that focus vs today's plotless action spectacles.

Turns out multiplayer takes a really long time to implement.
Did anyone else know it was this hard? How come nobody told me?

Fog of War (FOW), to me tells the story of intrigue. The power of information and the potential for ambush.

Added FOW!
As I add new elements I find it breaks the game I had before. I then repolish, which is again broken when I add a new feature.
Does everyone experience this? How do you balance new vs polish?
