Battle Academy Game Engine

[asgelb]

This game engine is GREAT. I love it, and it works perfectly for this level of combat. I hope this game is supported for years to come!

QUESTION: ANY chance that you'll use this same game engine to produce similar tactical games in different genres/wars? (Vietnam, Historic medieval battles, civil war, Roman, siege, fantasy/sci fi?)

That would make me a customer for life!

You could actually do that even as a modder. There's few things that are hardcoded. If just I had any idea of 3D editing...

Just to let you know, we are working on a way for people to use 2D assets in the engine. This will simplify modding of new settings, as it is true that building 3D models with the appropriate FX points can be a daunting task. Obviously it is not a trivial task, but I wanted to add that to the discussion .

2D assets in Engine? Do you mean like Sprites?

[pipfromslitherine]

Correct. You will be able to choose to build mods which use top down sprites rather than solid 3D objects.

Interesting. Should definitely make modding easier. Though I have to say I can hardly imagine that it looks very fitting in this game since everything is 3D and not even top-down view...

[pipfromslitherine]

It would be for/require a new set of assets for objects and units. We wouldn't (I don't imagine) allow you to mix the two. As you say, it would look pretty odd . But it would make it simple (e.g.) to do a Vietnam war mod with the same ruleset, but without having to build a ton of 3D art.

More details as we develop the idea.

Cheers
