Is this the right board for this post?
Cool game. The way the setup works is great, although I have some questions about the gameplay:
How do you "change" your hero so you can control a different one?
Are there more places to battle in?
Also, the camera controls are really confusing.

Answers :

1 Thank you -
2 you don't : its turn based so that each character type goes in order of their agility - (snakes always move and attack first then spiders, giant heavy robots move near the end )
3 yes, try doing a battle with earthquakes turned on - this changes the scene.
4. perhaps a toggle button would have been better to simply switch between the various views. There is 1 default camera view , and 3 optional so far , the default view is slightly behind the current character, the left and right arrows looks at the character from the side view , and the the last arrow sets the camera in front of the character so you can see behind it. I added these controls in an earlier version so that it would be easier to target enemies and because when getting near the mountain it may be difficult to see whats there or target an enemy without using them.

I plan on updating the game again atleast one more time to fix camera bugs and add more goodies to it. ( I wont say what more I will add just yet , but am open to suggestions and requests )

@Bluestar4
Thank you for answering! Another question:
When I want to play against my friend, I set them on different colors, but when I play, then end my turn, it's my turn again! and nor can I see my opponents on the map.

@ Sianai

turns - as explained above, the one that moves first will be the characters with the highest agility. if your team takes all snakes
and your friend takes all robots, his turn wont begin until all your snakes have moved.
For your second question, use the full-custom mode and set positions for your team to 9 and your friends team to 10.
Here is why :
The map itself is fairly large, and on the quick setup player teams are placed on oppisite corners of the map which can seem a little annoying if your not taking a bunch of players so , what you can do instead of using quick setup is use the full custom mode.
In this setup mode you can take massive teams of the characters that you like(if you want an all snake or spider army so be it ! )

I should point out when taking the custom mode that there is no memory checking - if you only have a 128mb graphics card dont take the maximun amount of characters or the game may run slow.
I am pleased that you are enjoying the game.

ON a side note , does anyone here like joystick games or shooters that use joysticks ? I was thinking of making a couple games but wanted to see how many would be interested in such a game before I decided to start the project.


Also, A special thanks in this post also goes out to the mod (who-ever you are ) that moved my post to the right board. sometimes many hours in front of the pc can make you post in the wrong window

I took these this morning - you can create your own by clicking the middle button during gameplay

The online manual (incompleted at present) is avaialble here
I will be updating the online manual in a couple weeks to accomidate the features of the new version. New features of this version include a new custom setup option which allows for up to 170 characters to be in play at once and up to 16 human/pc players.
you can also now fully customize your teams to your liking.
