Progress so far

Hey guys! Yeah I know, updates are slow these times.

First of all, the game won't be released as soon as I intended it to be. Programming the last elements is taking more time that I planned and managing all these units and turrets is taking a god damn shit load of time.

Since I am getting back to school next week ill have to put less time on the project to make sure I get it right. Naway, the game WILL come out eventually, just not now. Ill probably build some units viewer application to test some things out this week. You guys will be able to see all 65 units soon.

STOP ASKING WHEN!!!

Problems, problems, and solutions!

Yeah, its been a while since the last update. The thing is, I got sick so I had to rest for a while. Some stomac problem, probably some sort of virus. Got to the hospital, etc etc. The good news is: I am now healthy! Yay!

Also, I ran into some problems about the game file being too heavy. This game is huge, and I had to find a solution about the repetitive crashes and heavy lag in the developpement environement. I finally found a solution, but it was a great amount of stress since the project was at stake.

Hope you guys are enjoying the summer!

Art is about done

Here is the game status:

Art: 90% done

Coding: 70% done

So yeah... the game is moving well. It should be done in less than 2 months from now.

Age of war on Kongregate

Hey guys! I though it was time to upload age of war to Kongregate, since so many people where trying to submit it illegaly. Please go and vote five! http://www.kongregate.com/games/Louissi/age-of-war

If I win the monthly prize ill get some cash I can use to make games. So go there and vote 5!

Music

Due to many questions about the music in the game I decided to make a post to explain how it will work. The music in the game will be played by a small music player. This music player will automatically hide and will apear when you roll your mouse over it. This music player will load music dynamically from the newgrounds audio portal, so ill be able to add as many songs as I want (Including Glorious Morning, the song from the first game).

If you guys have suggestions for music, please post a link that leads to the song in the newgrounds audio portal and I might add it if I like it.

Gameplay video

There you go: Gameplay
I hope you will enjoy!

Some info

There will be 12 civilisations playable over 7 ages. You will have to choose between 2 civilisations sometimes. Here is the layout:

Prehistoric Sparta vs. Persia

Romans vs. Egyptians

Medieval good vs. Medieval evil

Maya vs. Spain

Modern

Robotic enhanced humans vs. Aliens

The game will have upgrades (needed to build some units), walls, turrets, a special really expensive unit per Civ.

The fight will be divided in 3 rows. Some special units will be able to attack the other rows.

Every Civilisation will have a unique special attack.

Now, please don't ask about these things anymore lol. Please note that I won't add anything else since the game is really on the way. I can't add more features since it would take too long.

This project is huuuge

I took some time to compile the library of the game to put it all in one image. Please note that this library should triple in the next weeks. You can take a look here
