Con questo gioco, volevo mostrare un lato diverso della guerra – uno che toccano raramente: in vera guerra, i carri armati non sono solo unità su uno schermo; Dietro ognuno è una persona reale. 🙁
Allo stesso tempo, siamo riusciti a rendere il gioco divertente e coinvolgente, anche senza pensare alle idee più profonde che trasmette. Se hai mai giocato Battle City Sul Dendy (NES), saprai come si sente il nostro gioco. Ma l’abbiamo modernizzato, aggiunto diversi meccanici interessanti e trasformato il gameplay in un’esperienza di roguelite. Ciò significa che il tuo stile di gioco e la costruzione possono variare drasticamente a seconda dei bonus che raccogli lungo la strada.
Il gioco supporta anche la cooperativa a due giocatori. Se sei competitivo, diventa ancora più divertente: chiunque segna più punti in un livello può scegliere il loro bonus prima dopo la battaglia.
Infine, volevamo catturare l’atmosfera di quei classici Battle City degli anni ’80 e ’90. Quindi tutti i suoni sono a 8 bit e la musica è sinceri remix di chiptune delle melodie popolari ucraine tradizionali.
Se vuoi provare questa esperienza, puoi trovarla su Steam con il prezzo scontato 111 UAH: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2917630/threads_of_war/
Potresti essere curioso di sapere cosa significhi sviluppare un gioco con mio figlio e come è possibile che un ragazzo di 13 anni abbia programmato un gioco così complesso. Ne ho parlato in una recente intervista qui: https://dev.ua/en/news/interviu-z-rozrobnykamy-threads-of-war-1753951625

What a creative take on Ukrainian culture.
Cool is it translated into Ukrainian?
Purchased!
Looks great and can’t wait to play.
Слава Україні!
Cute
Banging soundtrack 🔥🪕
I had a ukranian pupil that was just crazy good at coding and making games. Made complex war games when he was 10-11 years old. Still miss teaching him. A polite and very intelligent boy. He used to live in Mariupol.
From the Dev.ua article:
Each pixel tank, which is so fun to control, symbolizes the fate of a person who lived, dreamed, raised children, loved, worked. At the beginning of the game, we show what the fate of this person was, generate a Ukrainian first and last name. If the player wins, this person becomes a war hero. And if he loses, this person is displayed in the military cemetery.
I just noticed that if you click on the Steam link, you’ll see that there’s a “Ukrainian Game Festival” going on right now (at least that’s the banner at the top that I see). There are a ton of Ukrainian-developed games on sale (some with massive discounts).
This is beautiful
I bought it! Looks great!
Hey everyone that’s a fellow gamer/Steam person. Don’t just buy the game, be sure and give it a review and play time, that REALLY helps indie devs like these, it will boost their ability to get noticed in the big algorithm.
Hey on a similar note, for the devs, there is a super fun light military turn based strategy game that I think would REALLY do well with an updated interpretation on a similar theme. It was called Military Madness (or Nectaris, depending on region). Anyone who has played Advance Wars has played a similar game, but I think MM is even better and has this really cool strategic mechanic where if you surround the enemy target from multiple tiles, it multiplies the combat effects, along with terrain multipliers and EXPERIENCE for the units.
That game, with Ukrainian units, might just be the dream game of mine.
Tell your son he is amazing, and thanks for putting the effort into making this! I’ll share it, and come back and buy copies for my sons as well.
