Just read through it and I'm not sure if it was said before (I did search the few threads I fount) and the article mentions that it is indeed online AND with voice chat! Also you can make your own maps and upload them for others to share and with this you can also download and rate the maps.

Sounds like a much better game than we at first thought. Now we'll just have to get over the new art style.

Didn't like the last one on the DS all that much, was a big letdown in my eyes. Hopefully this new one will feel fun just like the two on the GBA. Can't wait!

Awesome, sounds like they have listened to all the criticisms of the past DS Advance Wars and come up with the game people were hoping for.

I'm glad the gameplay is reverting back to more of the GBA style, and removing/toning down the CO powers was a must they just annoyed me so much, it just destroyed any point in playing with good strategy.

I hope the "darker and mature" theme isn't just some dumb shit to cater to the emo fad. j/k
I happily await this game.

Weird that Slowtaku says in the English version, new guy is named Will when all the screenies I've seen, his name is Ed, the gruffy guy is Brown and Lin is still Lin (well Rin but yeah). I wonder why the name change? Or maybe Ed wasn't final? Or I'm just confused? I like pie.

    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
