Strategic Assault II - Ideas


Strategic Assault II - Ideas

My guess is this is too complex to add to the existing product... please feel free to tell me otherwise! :wink:

I mostly kinda miss telling a unit to guard; or patrol an area. I'm kinda spoiled from Total Annihilation 8)

It would also be nice to have a tiny bar graph on top of the screen to show battery level. I tend to get carried away sometimes :)

How about a manual of some sort?

This game is great, small, tight and the price is AMAZING. As much as I and most people would like a map editor, I think we already got more than we paid for, and more mission packs would be as least as welcome.

Its not just me, there are a few of us. Actually the new mapeditor is written to be very flexible so we can use it in many games, we would have written it anyway. We have more games on the way, but we have decided not to announce any more details until they are further along.

Hi,

Thanks Sponge!

To the best of my memory the facts are (and if I am wrong please correct me):

Yes, Strategic Assault has been out for over a year, BUT when it was released no mapeditor was announced or promised.

Months ago we did mention that a mapeditor was planned but didnt commit to a specific date. I admit I had hoped to get around to it sooner than it has actually worked out as, but there you go.

Recently I did say we planned to release it in Jan, and then at the end of Jan yes I promised it for this week.

I understand why you are bored of waiting, if you count from the release of the game or when I first mentioned the maped it has certainly been a long time. But in terms of missed deadlines I dont think you can accuse me of any more than the time since the end of Jan (if you count 'planned' as a definite commitment) or from the end of this week (promised certainly does count as a commitment i agree).

I still hope to release something tonight (hence hitting the deadline IMO), but if its tomorrow I still think I only overran by a single day.

Anyway, I hope you will forgive the delay.

Either way I'm going to make a map or two, delay or not. Since future projects are going to rely on this, I'm sure not complaining.

Simon: I assume this will require an update to Strategic Assualt? If so, I got my copy from the Mini CD, would there be a way I could get if any new versions come out?
