Re: New Shrapnel game
Cute, indeed.
Reminds me of a few other games.

Re: New Shrapnel game
It's fun. Still under development, but rather far along now. :-)

I can think of four offhand. Still, might be worth a look, if only for cuteness factor. Needs more Hello Kitty, though. Or moogles, moogles are good. |

Re: New Shrapnel game
If what they say about the duration of the games is correct, that places it in direct competition with Wesnoth. Which IMO looks a lot more polished and playable.
The one thing that I am curious about is if multiplayer is done with serial-turns (like wesnoth) or paralle-turns (like dominions). If multiplay was in parallel I would give it a look.

Re: New Shrapnel game
Just looking at the screenshots of units and their abilities it reminds me of a very cute Master of Magic clone. |

Funny (the Wesnoth comparison), that's exactly what I thought . And I largely prefer Wesntoh-style graphics (but that's personal taste)  . |

Re: New Shrapnel game
Looks like it could be fun.
What is this Wesnoth you speak of?

It's an open source turn base strategy game, which is "simple" to understand and play, but which can be challenging, even against the AI.
It's cute, try it!
