Frontline Protocol – Tactical PvE Strategy Wishlist on Steam and join Playtest for free Hi everyone! I'm an indie developer working on Frontline Protocol, a real-time strategy game with a unique blend of rts, deckbuilding and auto battler mechanics, and a strong focus on cooperative PvE gameplay. This isn't your typical RTS: Instead of controlling units directly, players influence the battlefield by playing cards. Every card you deploy brings instant effects – from spawning units, constructing buildings, placing towers, to launching tactical actions. Positioning, timing, and smart synergy between your three active decks is key. Key Features Card-based RTS Control your army through over 300 cards: infantry, vehicles, towers, buildings, and powerful action cards.1–4 online Multiplayer PvE Co-op Jump into online Multiplayer battles with up to 3 friends. Share spawners, coordinate strategies, and specialize your decks for roles like defense, eco, support, or frontline pressure.Auto Battler Dynamics Once deployed, your units act autonomously – but their effectiveness depends on your deck structure, map control, and team coordination.Meta Progression Earn Booster Credits and unlock card packs containing new units, action cards, and some items. Permanently improve select cards, invest skill points for meta-progression, and shape your long-term strategy. Create new specialized decks like infantry only, anti vehicle, eco buildings or what you want.Mission System Take on dynamic PvE missions with modifiers like time limits or card restrictions. Complete them to earn Mission Coins and unlock exclusive tactical rewards from mission booster packs.Special OrderAdd extra difficulty and earn rare rewards. Special Orders can be activated by the host to increase mission difficulty for all players – by limiting income, increasing enemy spawns or something else. The entire team receives a special loot if they succeed under these conditions. Deployment PlansStrategically boost rewards during missions. Deployment Plans are one-time tactical items drawn from mission booster packs. Use them during missions to gain extra Player EXP, Card EXP, or bonus loot – either per map or at mission completion. Choosing the right plan at the right time can multiply your rewards.

Binding mechanics are reworked to allow freedom of movement. New features include blade recoil for beats, improved AI, the addition of spears, and experimental LAN. Banking mechanics are conceptualized to add realism in the game's story mode. Posted by khiemgluong on May 17th, 2025 0.5.0 Combat Physical Binding I had touched on how fluid movement is important for engaging gameplay in a previous post, failing to realize that the way binding would freeze you in place was contradictory to that point. The previous approach to binding was a matter of programming limitation rather than technical. I couldn't figure out a way to allow blade movement tangent to another blade without tunneling issues, since weapon movement was only relative to the character, rather than relative to its own collisions. The solution was to enable a minimal amount of physics to control the blade, torqued by an angular force enough to keep the weapon oriented upright, while base movement would still use kinematics. It will only be in play when another object is acting upon it, rather than be the driving force of the weapon (unlike that one physics melee "game" that's shilled everywhere). This meant that in the event of a bind, the weapon would align itself to the blade it's bound with, and as demonstrated in the video, maintains the pressure necessary to keep the weapon in contact without tunneling. With a more stable and consistent binding mechanic I was able to unrestrict weapon and character movement, allowing for a new combat paradigm where opponents would wrestle each other for the most ideal attack angle. Blade "Recoil" To add another layer of reactivity, the blade that receives the attack would "recoil" opposite to the direction of the blade that struck it as demonstrated in the video. This technique allows you to strike your opponent’s blade to create an opening for an attack. It's based on a real sword-fighting strategy where, instead of targeting the opponent directly, you first displace their defense by "beating" their blade out of the way. Combat Movement A new set of root motion animations for combat have been added to accompany the more aggressive AI. In previous versions, NPCs wielding shorter swords rarely stood a chance against those with larger ones. But now, a katana wielding gladiator can stand his ground—even without chest armor—against an opponent armed with a zweihander, and go on to win the rematch. In summary: size doesn't matter (anymore). The only current limitation left is how to handle dynamic target locking. It's fine when you're in a 1v1 duel, but against several enemies, especially now that each team gets up to 8 people in the arena, then it becomes an impediment rather than an advantage. Models Armor Speaking of chest armor, the Lorica Hamata (chainmail) is now part of the gladiator loadout. As far as Roman themed items go, this might be one of the last to be added. Spears Spears have been a near universal weapon in the ancient world, yet rarely receives representation in games in comparison to swords, likely something to do with the fact that it's really overpowered. I included it irregardlessly because I wanted to experiment with a new melee control system. Spears do not rotate like swords, instead it only pans, where the panning controls the spear tip. It's the perfect weapon against armored opponents or for fighters who prefer fighting from a distance with precise thrusts. Just keep in mind that spears still inherits the drawbacks of its real life counterpart. Scripts LAN Play Networked gameplay—something that's been on the backburner for a while, and something I’ve always wanted to implement—have now been developed into something barebones but functional. To start a LAN game, it's as easy as choosing LAN in the arena dropdown, and if you're starting the game, choose the host or server and share the IP address that is displayed to your clients. The host will have to spawn in the arena before clients can join. Story Mode The starting town in Story Mode is composed of simple, geometric structures, built with the Placeable system. Not every buildings will be created with this system, but a good portion of generic buildings will be, so apartments, barracks, or anything with a blocky form. Unique or curved structures, like the Colosseum, will be modeled instead. Banking Money (gold) in the world of Blade Ballad will have tangible weight, so it wouldn't be smart to go adventuring while hauling your entire fortune everywhere, as it will slow you down and draw unwanted attention from bandits, thieves and scam artists. Instead, you would make use of the many banks and deposit boxes located throughout the world to store your coin, whether earned or stolen. These banks would allow deposit, withdrawal and transfers to other banks, and will attempt to keep your wealth safe, with varying degrees of success. However, ancient banks (which were not globally centralized) came with their own problems. One would be its vulnerability to raiders. Since FDIC wasn't a thing, your money is effectively gone if it was looted. Corruption would be present as well (no different than modern banks) and would come in the form of "misplaced" funds, usury, embezzlement, preferential treatment to families of bankers, etc. This is intended to help you realize that you don't need all that gold. In most open world games I've played, I've always finished it with a massive pile of money in my inventory. All that time finding and selling items and I ended up not spending most of it anyways.

In the new version 2.0.0 you can notice the number 2 at the very beginning, which means that those who played the old version will have to play again. But this is not bad at all, because now the game does not cause frustration! And that's the most important thing! Don't believe me? Try it yourself (On Google Play or Itch). Gameplay has been added with additional mechanics so that from now on it will be unfair to think that the level passed in the old version in 5 minutes will be fair for the new version. After all, in the new version at least, the ammo is no longer infinite. However, now the gun can still be infinitely charged with the help of special terminals, which we, quickly thinking, decided to visualize as electric balls... Why not? And now you have to shoot not only enemies, but also various obstacles like dry bushes, boxes with possible first aid kits, weights or keys. So, it is better to spend ammo wisely. What are these keys, you ask? Well, they are keys to terminals that can control force fields that will sometimes need to be switched. The fields will also be switched by special sensors. And actually, they can switch more than just force fields. In general, it's long to tell, so it's easier for you to see once by downloading the game. We have also added text logs, which we hope will be fun for you to read. But besides the fact that they are full of humor, from them you will be able to find out what happened on this planet. Challenge yourself, turn on your deduction and try to predict the true cause of the incident from the storylines you can read in the logs of different scientists... Bet you can't guess? ;) By the way! Our musician composed two additional soundtracks, which emphasized the protagonist's descent underground especially well. And the most important addition, dictated by the very nature of the game - on the inventory screen there are hints about the weights already found, and those that need to be matched to open the next door. The found weights are sorted in ascending order, and it's not for nothing! Finding the right values is not always an easy task, so it will definitely not be a spoiler if I tell you the algorithm of their selection. On the contrary, this knowledge will help you play the game with even more joy! For example, level 4. You need to put 36 on the plate: * All found shipments in descending order:30, 26, 18, 14, 11, 9, 9, 5* We count by iteration:1) 36 (target weight) - 30 (heaviest) = 6. Therefore, we can't use the minimum nearest weight 5. So weight 30 is discarded.2) 36 - 26 = 10... Again, the ones under 10 (9, 9 and 5) won't fit in any way. So we're throwing out 26.3) 36 - 18 = 18...- resulting 18 - 14 = 4 (14 doesn't fit)- 18 - 11 = 7 (11 doesn't fit)- 18 - 9 = 9 (that just leaves the other 9).Therefore, we put on the plate 18 + 9 + 9 = 36.Just arithmetic without multiplication and division. I'm sure you'll quickly master it with this approach. It sounds more complicated than it really is. And one more hint! To avoid running around in circles for the right weights, just move them all to one place. But I think you would have figured out this management without me ;) Well. The game probably won't undergo any more of these major game-changing additions. So the next step we see is just to finish its development. In the meantime, you can download episode 1 (or Itch) and give it a try.

t’s been one year since we began the journey of creating POLYSTRIKE, and what a year it’s been. From concept to working multiplayer builds, we’ve poured our hearts into building something unique—fast-paced, competitive, and visually striking. What is POLYSTRIKE? POLYSTRIKE is a top-down, team-based shooter where precise movement, smart ability usage, and instant action define every match. Inspired by titles like Counter-Strike, Valorant, and Battlerite, our game combines the tension of tactical gameplay with the responsiveness of arcade-style combat. Genre: Top-down shooter Engine: Unreal Engine Platform: PC (Steam) Modes: 5v5 multiplayer Combat Style: Instant hit, WASD movement, dash and shield mechanics A Year in Review We started with a small idea and a dream to build something competitive and visually sharp. Over the past year, we’ve achieved: ✅ A fully working multiplayer prototype ✅ 5v5 matches with instant trace shooting mechanics✅ 8 unique weapon types (laser, shotgun, rifle, sword, etc.)✅ Hero abilities like dash and shield, each with cooldowns✅ Faction-based art direction and UI✅ A remote team of 30+ passionate contributors from across the worldWe tested dozens of iterations on mechanics, animations, movement speed, damage values, and hit registration. Our shooting system uses instant hitscan for responsive gameplay, and all projectile visuals are unified in speed for balance. Challenges We Faced Indie development is never easy—especially when it’s remote, unfunded, and passion-driven. Keeping the team motivated without pay Managing scope while staying ambitious Making tough calls on what features to postpone (like post-processing effects, skins, and certain VFX ideas) Despite that, our retention has been incredibly high. Out of 30+ contributors, only 3 have left. The rest continue to believe in the project and its vision. What's Next? 🔜 Steam Playtest 🔧 More polish on UI/UX and VFX🎯 Skill tree system for heroes🛠️ More maps and faction-specific content🚀 Pushing for funding or publisher supportWe’re getting ready to share the game with the world, and the next big goal is to get POLYSTRIKE in players’ hands. Our goal is to launch a closed playtest soon and gather feedback from early supporters.

We're glad to see everyone enjoying Apocalypse Rising! It's been three weeks since release and this marks our first major balance pass! We are also releasing the modding SDK so users can look into our tools for custom projects! Posted by FRAYDO on May 16th, 2025 We are glad to see everyone playing and enjoying Apocalypse Rising so far! It has been three week since release and this update marks our first major balance pass. The initial feedback has reported that the "Allies are overpowered", and we aim to address that notion with this major patch. This post will include patches 0.9.0.1 through 0.9.0.5 in descending order to describe everything that has been adjusted since our release. At the bottom of this post, after all of the patch notes, we are also including information on the release of our Modding SDK! Patches 0.9.0.3 - 0.9.0.5 There are three patches here because we ran internal testing before settling on the final build (0.9.0.5) Based on game experience and player feedback, it was identified that the Allies were winning the majority of the games. This patch brings the Soviets up to compensate whilst also nerfing some key Allied units. Soviet will now have more of a chance in the face of the Allied teamwork machine. Bug Fixes Fixed several crashes reported by players via crash dumps (thank you!)

Mercatorio season 4 kicks off on Friday May 16th. The season includes new resources, buildings, products and productions methods. This time it’s especially the forging and textile classes that are expanding. Posted by rune1 on May 14th, 2025 Mercatorio season 4 kicks off on Friday May 16th. The season includes new resources, buildings, products and productions methods. This time it’s especially the forging and textile classes that are expanding. The medieval trade and economy simulator with true markets is getting more products to produce and trade, new places to produce them, more ways to upgrade buildings and new, more intuitive, game mechanics. The Season 4 map Season 4 will take place on a new map, with most of the towns located on the two large landmasses in the south and east. Other than a new geography, the new map contains the new resources tin and silver. Buildings With new resources comes the need for new buildings to mine and process them. Along with some expansion of the production chains for existing products. Updates: Added mines for tin and silver The foundry splits of processing of ores into the new building the smeltery Added alloy smelter for production of bronze from copper and tin Added carding and fulling houses for processing wool and wool cloth Added tapestry weaver Added armoury for production of plate armour Added bell tower upgrades to religious prestige buildings Flax farm upgrade beehives removed (covered by apiary) Pasture fermentory removed (covered by dairy) Product updates Added fleece: wool as cut from the sheep, before carding Added raw cloth: cloth weaved from wool, before fulling Added tapestries: luxurious fabrics weaved from thread and dyed yarn, potentially incorporating silver and gold Added dyed yarn for use in tapestries Added tin ore and ingots Added silver ore Added bronze ingots Added bells Added plate armour Increased unit size for belts to bundles of 5, making storage and transportation easier Reduced premium of dyed cloth over cloth, both production and consumption increased accordingly Renamed light armor to light armour Production chain updates As usual there are many balancing adjustments and updates across all production chains, but as outlined above there are especially two areas that see major changes this time: Smelting and casting have many new production methods with the inclusion of tin, silver and bronze. The new smeltery deals with all ore processing (except iron), while the alloy forge alloys copper and tin into bronze. The foundry retains casting functions, including casting of the new bells. The textile production chain has been reworked by adding additional (optional) carding and fulling steps for wool, as well as reducing throughput of buildings lower in the chain while increasing garments production throughput Prestige and worker bonuses More tenants from prestige Less management points from prestige, making hiring and training apprentices a relatively more important source of management points Additional bonuses at high levels of prestige Specialist worker bonus reduced from 20% to 12% Game mechanics changes Season 4 will also see two significant changes to the game mechanics, relating to production at buildings and operation linked to a warehouse as well as how services and non-durable production function. Sequential operation The buildings and operations linked to a warehouse will now consume and produce products in the order they are listed, with outputs becoming immediately available to the operations coming after them. For durable goods this reduced the required buffer somewhat and gives quicker feedback when adjustments are made. Services are now truly intra-turn Services and non-durable / perishable products generally can’t be stored or transported, but due to the delayed operation of linked buildings previously, the labour from a farmstead would only become usable the turn after it was produced. This is now changing such that produced labour and other services becomes available for use immediately, allowing adjustments to production to take effect as you make them. In the case services are produced for sale, this means the production has to be finalized at the start of the turn instead of the end (remember production and consumption numbers are usually projections of what will take place at the end of the turn), in order to be available at the start-of-turn auction. This is the same concept that is already used for transports, which consume their inputs as they move, not at the end of the turn. How to start playing? Go to Mercatorio.io to play and join the discord server to meet other players, plan strategies and strike deals.

Get ready for enhanced gameplay in Miner Open Chests with the new update!
