Sharing the very first demo of my solo turn-based strategy game – Geopolaris: Conquer & Dominate. The game takes place on a world map in a period between 1949-2200. Historically it has been famous for the Cold war between world superpowers and later saw the world on a path towards globalization and space exploration. I am developing this game as an alt history geopolitical simulator sandbox. It is made as 4X and doesn’t start with a historical preset (though I am planning to make a map editor so that some historical setups can be introduced and played).
As a tribute to actual history of the time I have used world population of 1949 and have split the world into regions of equal demographic size (with few exceptions), mapped these regions to civilizations (as in the Clash of Civilizations by Samuel P. Huntington, a thesis that people's cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post–Cold War world). Going forward I am also planning to use real technology advancements and geopolitical interactions of the covered era.
The current demo has a few basic mechanics in place. In this release I was focusing mostly on the look and feel and making a functional foundation that can later be expanded.
I am planning to regularly update this game demo, adding more complex mechanics (see list below) which will be changing game dynamics towards greater variability, more detailed gameplay, enabling different playing strategies and longer play time.
In this version you win by eliminating all other players or (while you do so) becoming stronger than all remaining rivals combined.
Happy playing and your feedback is more than welcome. If you like the game so far - go ahead and wishlist it!
Breakdown generic geopolitical influence into more refined influence actions across military, economy and external policy domains
Add civilizations to the map (nine of them, having buffs/debuffs) and how they impact strategy/gameplay
Add ideologies (8 for now, adding buffs/debuffs) and their own impacts on gameplay
Add a technology tree (unlock certain influence actions or increase their strength, power(s) generation, etc)
Add (random) events/decisions/challenges that help to shape your nation (buffs/debuffs, permanent/temporary, speeding up/unlocking technologies, etc) as you play enabling diverging gameplay strategies
Introduce a concept of a global power / resource and each nation’s share of it (similar to the market share). Higher share, or share reaching certain tier - certain buffs/functionalities get enabled, losing share/tier disables them.
Add a Space race quest. It introduces another way to win – extract rare resources in random locations, research and build a space ship and expand outside of this world. Or prevent your competitors from doing so.
Make use of population (currently regions have fixed numbers from historical 1949 and each nation holds a sum of pops from all regions they hold)
Other:
Add save/load game
Add map editor to allow creating custom scenarios or continue campaigns started in other historical periods in other map games :)
Recurring:
AI improvements (for AI strategies to work with new mechanics, introduce AI levels of difficulty levels, etc)
Refine/add more content to already existing mechanics
🦠 Added a new item (Disinfectant Spray) Added a new objective (Exterminate Organisms)
📷 Added a new item (Bodycam) Added a new objective (Capture a photo of the mutant as an evidence)
🧟 Added new patient models Updated curing a patient objective
🔧 Updated fix gas pipes objective (added a minor wrench effect)
👿 Added new mutant skins
👍 Added challenges
Other Changes: AI refinements Slightly reduced spawn count for medkits, batteries, and antidotes UI updates Singleplayer and multiplayer lobbies lighting updates More optimization Updated AI attack cinematic camera effects Fixed light tube decal bug Fixed random singleplayer map selection bug Fixed bugs related to crawling creatures and UV flashlight Fixed UI-related bugs
Lastly, we remind you to provide feedback on our Steam page by leaving a review. You have no idea how much this fuels us and keeps us developers going! 🙏
I apologize for the delay in the release of the game. I hope this doesn't affect your schedule too much.
Before the game is released, I want to send out some free Steam keys. If you're a YouTuber, Streamer, or Reviewer, please fill out the Google form and I'll send you a key before the official launch date. (Around February 28) Or if you have any special reasons or inquiries, please feel free to let me know.
This big and important day is here. We are happy to announce that WANDERER: Broken Bed DEMO is already waiting for you on Steam! This step means we're even closer to the game's release, but in the meantime, we need your support. Add our game to your wishlist, play the demo, and recommend it to your friends 💝
There are no big changes in the available demo yet. HOWEVER!!! No one said there are no small ones 😏
You can already see some things that are sweet to the eye and heart:
⏳ New time system. The time will go when you interact, not when you move between locations 🎯 Order in quests. Players will only be able to take one main quest, one side quest, and one personal quest at the same time 😍 New models. We updated them for three quests (and which ones - you can guess by our hints in the posts 😏)
☝️ The demo version is shorter than our previous builds. But it is more organized, and we need to add new things qualitatively and without bugs (preferably).
Once again, we enjoy your simple actions: play the game and add it to your wishlists. Thanks to you, more people can learn about the game, what will help us develop the game further. Be a hero in our world for Vanessa, Cruella, and other warmly loved girls!
Our work has made significant progress recently. We would like to share with you our most important achievements and our plans for the near future. In Pizza Simulator, we make pizzas for you with the highest quality ingredients!
Systems
We have recently managed to implement a new system for saving and reading the game state so that you can easily return to your pizzeria at any time. We have also been working on the sound system and have started to implement it into the game. This is a big step towards an even more immersive experience. We assure you that you will feel like you are in a real Italian restaurant!
Characters
The Waitress - The addition of her model to the game is now behind us! We have developed and tweaked the animations to fit this character perfectly. Cousin - we've created the first version of the cousin's AI script and hope you'll see it in action soon! Customers - we have implemented a clothing and hair color generator for our much-loved but much-needed customers to give them some variety.
Plans
Our main goal at the moment is to create the right balance for the game. We will continue to work on implementing sounds into the project, refining the cousin model to accommodate animations and two events. These are the 'Sanitary Control' and 'Grandpa's Friends Package' events that we have been working on recently. We intend to introduce new mechanics and dialogues to them.
Interesting facts
The number of customers in the restaurant will increase as the game progresses. The more developed your restaurant is, the more customers you will have. You must satisfy everyone's taste buds and not keep them waiting too long, as this will have a negative effect on the restaurant's reputation!
Stains on the floor occur when food falls to the floor and stays there for more than 5 seconds (everyone knows the 5-second rule, right?) They slow you down and can result in a fine if the health authorities visit. Remember to keep your pizzeria tidy!
Together with you, we are on our way to creating the best pizzeria the world has ever seen! Thank you for your support and patience. We invite you to join us on our Discord, where we can share our passion for pizza and all the tasty news. Also, remember to add Pizza Simulator to your wishlist on Steam. Until we hear from you in the next devlog, stay tuned!
