It’s an interesting one. I have ASD and need my time away from too much stimulation. But I also don’t like interacting with people solely through a screen, it’s much easier to read and deal with people in person where you can pick up all the non-verbal cues. It’s also far to easy to misconstrue people’s intentions when it’s text chat.
Had a look at it, that's definitely not what I'm aiming for, it's a 4x strategy game, and the combat looks pretty bland.

Thanks, I've got a few different groups I'm already part of, an East Midlands Indies one that is pretty big, plus a private one that is a collection of AAA refugees which is a bit more organised as we have mutual NDAs and stuff in place to keep things a bit more formal.Not sure if this is relevant or not but I'm a member of a Facebook group for 'midlife' gamers.
One of the members has been developing his own game for a while now, might be a good contact for bouncing ideas off?
Titan: Infiltration - The War Games
Titan: Infiltration is a hard sci-fi, fully immersive single and multiplayer gaming experience set in a dark and distant future of brutal war games run by the corrupt Titan Corporation...
Gradual drop off is probably best, although I can understand the context switching also being frustrating. The other question is whether you can sustain yourself financially without the fintech contract?
Well, I can for quite a while. The spanner in the works is that I want to move house imminently which has potential to be a massive money sink, but I really want to get the move done as it's getting me out of this isolated rural environment and back into a city and the Notts dev scene. I'm just going to have to wing it really.
Death Blossom!Basically can go to town on all the coolest spaceship weapons I can think of
Suggestions welcome!
If you do go to layers I can imagine a support class ship that's perhaps big and vulnerable and therefore sits at the back, but is able to project a shield forward to cover a given radius in front of it. Equally a long range 'artillery' type ship might suit that rear layer. Front layer could then be fast moving* ships that get into short range dog fights or zip through the enemy's first layer to take out their shield ships at the back. That or a stealth class that goes undetected until very close range or until it first attacks, fading back into the black if out of active combat for long enough. I'm sure you've already thought of all this just sharing what popped into my head.
Yes this is where I'm heading. The ranges of the ships will all be more explicit (in terms of grid coverage).I was planning to have a mothership in the centre that you must keep alive. I've changed the PDCs to prioritise missile targets now so the different systems are starting to come together, adding the defensive systems to counter the incoming.

I'm wondering about the ability to move the ships. Problem right now is that you can lay out your ships, but you don't know what formation the enemy will come at you with, so you're not acting with any useful info. Giving the player the opportunity to trigger a 1-grid cell move at the beginning of the combat phase might work quite well to add some tactical depth.
Today's job though, shields! In between filming the next vlog, as it's nice out today and I'm WFH
Yeah i was think that during the alert phase you get the grid highlighting where the incoming contacts are, and let you rejig your formation a bit.
