Oh yeah last note : "sorry for my poor english" (i tried to do my best)

jiyko 2012-12-17 14:06

I enjoyed this! Reminds me of Evil Genius.

har_g 2012-12-17 14:07

Please make comment :'(

har_g 2012-12-17 14:07

Thanks guy :)

I was thinking about evil genius when i do it. But after i did it, i retrieve some point from xcom..

pfirsich 2012-12-17 14:17

This is an interesting perspective! But how can you continue if you don't have any money left?

quarry 2012-12-17 14:45

Some game breaking problems but good otherwise

logun 2012-12-17 14:46

Cool game pitch. But I didn't exactly understand how to rule my base.

har_g 2012-12-17 14:46

You need to choose wisely your guys, if you run out of money, it can be consider like a gameover.

har_g 2012-12-17 14:47

good step : 1) hire guys 2) do missions (add guys and validate) [it's not explained, but guys receive xp after mission]

bigbadwofl 2012-12-17 14:50

Well done! I really liked the different songs for different menus.

frolacosta 2012-12-17 15:23

I could have done with a little more direction in how everything works, but a good game nonetheless!

adriczero 2012-12-17 15:26

Great music

zenmumbler 2012-12-17 16:10

Good concept, bit unclear what I'm doing. Need more time with it. Liking it!

robashton 2012-12-17 16:18

Enjoyed the idea, but was a bit confused as to what to do to begin with! I persevered and hired some guys and eventually ran out of money :)

goerp 2012-12-17 17:46

Nice.

Unfortunately not finished so at some point there is not much left to do.
Maybe something for the next october challenge :)

lanoiadimuu 2012-12-17 17:53

I hired a bunch of guys, ran out of money a completed both task. I had a couple of "breaking news" texts, but I have no idea of what I've actually made to trigger them.
The music loops were cool, but a bit short and soon they became annoying.
Overall I just clicked randomly without really understanding what I was doing.

har_g 2012-12-17 18:54

breaking news is when your science lab invent something.

karsithe 2012-12-17 20:19

I wasn't always entirely sure what I was doing, but I think I really liked this. There was a lot more to it than I first expected.

The only audio I had was a constant snoring noise though.

har_g 2012-12-17 21:43

the snoring noise is for the barrack room. There is a different sound for each room.

suese 2012-12-18 14:00

Perhaps the most unique entries so far. Good work.

colapsydo 2012-12-19 10:15

It would have been great to have some tooltips on the squares in the factory, in order to have their costs and their purpose.

wan 2012-12-19 14:08

The concept is good, but the actual gameplay feels a bit broken : it's hard to understand the consequences of playing missions, the purpose of buying items, etc; on the other hand it's pretty easy to run out of money and get stuck. Also the menus are not very comfortable since you always need ~10 employees to get started with a mission, which requires loads of "refreshes" on various screens to gather and assign the people required.

There's certainly some potential in this game, and it seems like you put loads of good ideas in it ; unfortunately it would have required additional work to make players be able to really understand & enjoy them.

starspell 2012-12-19 16:17

It's a fine game but it really needed a load more polish - including a tutorial.

har_g 2012-12-19 16:31

Before i do the ludum dare, i ask to a great specialist a advice. He say "keep it simple". Maybe in the frenesy i forgot that and focus too much on "add feature" and not enough on "make the feature properly"

yup, more polish, more tutorial (and more feature XD)

darkfrost 2012-12-20 00:58

I enjoy'd it! played to the end! Good job! Day1 dlc?

themelon 2012-12-20 06:05

Great attempt, love the idea of managing an evil base of operations. Ran out of money easily and just got stuck, but I see the potential for careful decision making.

hatscat 2012-12-22 13:56

Cool game, I think you aim too complex for a ludum dare, but it's well done, really

coffeeonimal 2012-12-23 14:10

Neat little game, I'd like to see it cleaned up a bit and the missing parts added.

spelchan 2012-12-26 01:51

Good start to a game. I hope you do continue to work on it as has quite a lot of potential. The game play does need a lot of work as right now you just hire enough people to go out on missions then keep re-using them. Probably should have missions taking a while so you need multiple missions on the go so you aren't just re-using key people. Likewise, missions should not always return everybody so that you need to keep hiring. Equipment doesn't seem to do anything that I can tell. The story as part of the missions was very interesting, with the "Game not finished yet" message being both funny and disappointing as I was hoping to finish the game.

har_g 2012-12-29 23:23

Spelchan.. You are awesome :)
I was almost sure that because of some mistake, people stop it before the end. You proof that there is people to try it to the almost end.

kgs0142 2013-01-04 03:37

I like the idea!
And the music is awesome!

datw 2013-01-04 23:38

The game is confusing and slow, but it had a nice touch.

demurgos 2013-01-06 21:11

Le jeu est sympa, mais au début je me sentais un peu perdu.

On dirait que les graphismes ont été fait sur Paint, mais au moins il ne sont pas mauvais. ;)
J'aime la musique.
Bonne reprise du thème (même si le management de méchants a été pas mal repris)

bugninja 2013-01-06 21:37

It's not really my type of game (more of a quick/casual gamer), but it's REALLY involved for having such a short amount of time to work on it. It almost seemed like it would be a cool board game too.
