Default Re: Thunder Pack Games: Sequel?

Basically, my game deisgns for the most part are "pure" strategy games, in the sense that they aren't designed to involve reflexes or joystick things at all. They're decision, planning and choice oriented games. If you prefer games where you require joysticks and "action" (per se) to be interested, my games probably won't appeal to you much.

Games like Championship Manager have become hugely popular, despite the fact you can't physically move the players (like an EA game for instance). The player management and in-game descriptions suck you "into" the game.

Basically, if you enjoy Championship Manager, Puresim (baseball game), Out of the Park and other games like this, you'll enjoy Coliseum (even if you don't necessarily like sports). If you don't enjoy them at all, well, odds are you might not like Coliseum that much.

Also: As far as Coliseum, you will have quite a bit of control over managing your warriors, and their "attitudes" when they fight (you can set their starting strategies, like Be Aggressive, Be Cautious and Fight like Normal, etc). They'll be plenty to do as far as the management end of things go, which is what this game's focus is, along with very dramatically written fight sequences.

On that subject, one thing i'm toying with possibly including is adding a "control" feature during the combat at certain points, where you can give orders or change aggressiveness to your warrior DURING the fight itself. Hmm...

I wasn't really talking about arcade joystick action. More like turn based combat and the ability to move during combat.

I like some of the new ideas you have about the new game.

When do you think you will have some screenshots?

Keep up the good work
