There is a massive list of mechanics and 'refinements' I wanted to add! This really is just a skeleton for what I had planned... (number keys to select\/view unit, special ability for each unit, multi-select units, different terrain for each mission, proper pathfinding, visual indicators, different enemy types based on difficulty, real UI; just to mention a couple!). Too complicated for a solo weekend jam. I really didn't expect positive feedback (or any feedback), so thanks again :)"},{"author_name":"stephenhaney","author_uid":"39284","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:06pm","epoch":1409007660,"text":"Pretty cool concept here. It looks like the scope is much larger than 48 hours, but it's a good start, and looks like it could be a deep game.\r\rI really want to be able to select multiple units at once. Not being able to do so makes it feel like a lot of work to control my army.\r\rAnyway, nice start! I can definitely see the potential.
