Hey, TYM, it's been a minute! I've been lurking, but I don't post much anymore since I dropped MK11. However, dropping MK11 has given me the free time to devote to my other passion: developing an insane online 1v1 tile-based strategy game called SODWA. Behold!
Official website: https://sodwastudios.com/
SODWA is what you get when you combine the game mechanics of Final Fantasy Tactics, Heroclix, and X-Com with the fantasy worlds of Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, and other Saturday morning cartoons and franchises of the 80s. You get to build a team of colorful characters and pit them against the teams of your opponents. We'll be adding bots for single-player before too long, but right now it's just 1v1 against a human opponent.
Here is a screenshot of our very early debug build:
It's not the prettiest game right now, but we're mostly just focused on getting the game mechanics functioning. The big ugly "Switch Players" button is just for debugging. Right now we've got basic combat working, so characters get to take turns based on their Initiative attributes and can make ranged and melee attacks. The HP bars are numerical right now but will be graphical, like in League of Legends, before too long. Once we clean up basic combat a bit, we'll start implementing the cool special abilities, like Flight, Teleportation, Telekinesis, Force Fields, and all kinds of crazy stuff.
We'll be looking for game testers pretty soon. If you'd like to help us test the game, please join our official Discord channel. You can also find us on Reddit and view a lot of cool concept art and information on our gamedev.net project page.
Tagging @CrazyFingers because I know he was interested when I talked about it before. If you've got any questions or comments, feel free to comment on this post. Thanks for reading!
