Kitten Crusade [cat] [sim] [BETA] [2012]
You are a young kitten setting out into the Big Bad Neighborhood. You build "cat cred" by taking over the territory of neighboring cats.
The fighting style is like Pokemon/Magic Pengel. There are three kinds of attacks based on combinations of three stats. Certain attacks are stronger that certain other attacks.
Stats:
- Muscle
- Sharpness
- Sneakiness
Attacks:
- Sneak Attack (Sneakiness+Sharpness)
- Death from Above (Muscle+Sneakiness)
- Roundhouse (Muscle+Sharpness)
There will be mini-adventures thrown in as time permits.
Can you take over the Neighbourhood in time?
PROGRESS:
Coding: 100%
Story: 90%
Art: 80%
Sound: 10%
We have BETA-test!

Feel free to use any of my code. It comes with no guarantees. If there is enough interest, I'll set it up like a framework and create a tutorial.

Re: Kitten Crusade [cat] [sim] [turn based strategy][2012]
This sounds cute, but while the combat system you described could technically be turned based and strategy, the phrase turn based strategy makes me think of a game system more like Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, Fire Emblem, or Battle for Wesnoth, which is different from the pokemon based combat system you say you're going to use in the discription, This could just be me, but I think you should tag this game as an RPG rather than a turn based strategy.

Re: Kitten Crusade [cat] [sim] [turn based strategy][2012]
I was wondering about that tag. You also take over territories and have to decide which order to take them over in. Sort of like Risk.
Is there a "Territory Capturing" tag?

I guess that could be turn based strategy then, but I haven't actually played risk.
But even if there isn't a territory capturing tag, there's no rule against inventing one. RPG/Territory Capturing does seem accurate.

I love the premise, and the idea of a Risk-type game sounds fantastic. Looking forward to this! Good luck with all the coding. @_@

Susan, you have my complete interest. I am soooooo ready to build my cat cred.
This reminds me vaguely of a game I really, really wanted to make involving cats... but it was a side-scrolling beat 'em up. Messed around with pygame but eventually gave up for lack of dedicated time to practice coding. BUT ONE DAY, I WILL DO IT!

Caaaaaats!! <3
This sounds really interesting! I'm looking forward to see how you implement it (:
Good luck!

When drawing something, anything, USE REFERENCES!! Use your Google-fu!
Don't trust your memory, and don't blindly trust what others teach you either.
Research, observation, analysis, experimentation and practice are the key! (:

LOL this just sounds awesome! I can't wait to play it!

This all seems very exciting... so I'm excited!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I think the idea of using cats is very cute. ^^

Re: Kitten Crusade [cat] [sim] [RPG/Territory Capturing][201
If Risk isn't turn-based strategy, I don't know what is. Pokemon's battle system also fits, it's a very broad genre.
The type of thing Darkmoonfire's talking about are more accurately called either SRPGs or turn-based tactics games, and are a subset of TBS games. Either way, I wouldn't get too hung up on labels.
This game sounds awesome, looking forward to it! Knowing what my cats are like, an all-out kitty war doesn't seem so far-fetched : p

Re: Kitten Crusade [cat] [sim] [RPG/Territory Capturing][201
Ah, Turn-Based Tactics. That does seem to describe what I had in mind better. Never heard them called that before though, and every time I hear turn-based strategy it's always referring to a turn-based strategy. I will remember this for the future.
Part of the reason I brought it up in the first place was because I wasn't sure my definition of the word was more specific that it should have been, or if I wasn't aware of some gameplay mechanic or something else. Turns out it was a bit of everything.
So, if you'd rather go with turn-based strategy, it doesn't look like there's a problem. It's not like the tags are actually that big a deal.
I'd probably stick with RPG/Territory Capturing because it seems feels more specific and because I have weird predefined meanings for words, but *shrug*, it doesn't really matter that much.

It would be a catastrophe if you didn't litter this VN with as many puns as pawssible, because I think they'd be purrrfect for such a thing.
