Hey guys - I'm in such a happy mood because I (finally!) finished the first public release build of an ambitious game I've been working on for some time now.

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO,

BLEARE KINGDOMS

Game Website: Bleare Kingdoms: Official Devlog

ULTRA QUICK DESCRIPTION:
This is a strategy RPG game - You have soldiers and you move them on your "turn", attack with them, etc.
It takes place in the medieval times, but in a fantasy setting (as we see in most games) with wizards and magical items etc.
The Strategy/RPG part is in the battle engine, after the battle is over, the game resumes in the world map, where you move your character/party. This is where the game gets more interesting: The game world will be self interactive, meaning that empires will really fight for control of the world, using their resources, plotting assassinations, etc. You are just dumped into the huge game world.

LONG DESCRIPTION: What is Bleare Kingdoms?

Screenshots!




Notice the unique move field concept.

The first build (which is free) contains ONLY THE BATTLE SYSTEM, and it will be missing *some* features.


The best part about this game: It is easily moddable. All units, stats, armors, weapons, other items, houses, effects, battlefiels, are stored in easily editable .ini files inside of module folders that are easily switchable. You could change the whole game to some crazy zombie mod in only a few hours. This gives the mod community HUGE flexibility. We will have forums set up and have documentation available so modders can go at it with this very powerful and flexible engine.

that looks so fun,

Though i have no more space on my game slots -_-"

Ill play on me school laptop lol

---

Thanks mate! Just tell me what you think when you get to it.

---

I'm playing right now, its pretty cool, I'm moving into battle now. The one thing I have to say that would have been useful is a minimap, I'll edit this/post again when I'm done.

---

Yeah, A minimap is one of the things planned for that blank space (if we decide to keep that HUD). A smaller, minimalistic hud is another thing that may or may not happen.

---

Ditto on the minimap! Liked the music (wish there was more of it, since it can take a while to play if you're a perfectionist), and the design.

---

Thanks! Hopefully we can bring in more content for build 2.

---

I second, wait, third the minimap!

This is a really awesome demo SunnyKatt, It's pretty entertaining to mod too. I spent a little bit of time changing my team member's health/ap to insanely large amounts (OVER 9000!!!), and then built up an army of 30 guys and mauled the enemy.

Awesome work XD

---

@Neuro Fuzzy - Glad you like it, and thanks! With that much AP, you don't even have to end your turn to kill the enemy!

Hopefully it will only take a few builds to get the mod community build up so that it's decently active and pumps out mods on a regular basis. I can't wait to see what they come up with.

Hope you guys don't mind a 5-day old informational bump and doublepost (sorry!)

But the official checklist to build 2 has been released: http://blearekingdoms.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/pre-build-2-checklist/
