Adding Throwing to My Medieval Fantasy Game (Indie Game Devlog)

[@zanetti1770]

Man, really can't wait for this game. Gladihoppers was one of the best mobile games I've ever played. Really was expecting like a sequel or something, but as some people say, don't try to fix something that is already perfect.

[@tweetyboid7424]

Gladdihoppers really is a great game, from the pixelated rock-type music to the combat, it was something truly special

[@and3rs]

Thanks! I'm planning on adding a gladiator minigame to some of the major cities, so I guess it could be considered a sequel then... xD But yeah, I wouldn't know what to do with a "Gladihoppers 2" game, so I think it's better to try something new that is still somehow familiar

[@and3rs]

Thanks, really appreciate these kinds of comments :)

[@mikeforsaken]

@@and3rs hey it would make sense that when you use secret names you get the secret name's items would be blocked In the quick battle mode (gladihoppers)

[@Raythekat]

Galdhoppers was my favorite game one of its kind so great played for months at home on the bus anywhere basically good game looking great.

[@calebsalazar2103]

It’s awesome that people still care about the quality of a game instead of the revenue they get from it. This project looks awesome so far and I’m super excited to be following its development!

[@and3rs]

Thank you so much, Caleb!

[@chottabeamm]

this is the dev of gladihoppers? man love you so much. your game is an absolute banger, ton of fun!

[@and3rs]

Hey thanks! And yeah that's me! :D

[@Janahin]

This is really amazing ! i appreciate this great work I have some suggestions Add Feathers to the helmets of Kingdom of Uhteesa And make when someone strike your Shield you will get knocked back a bit to be more realistic And weapons that has small chance to make someone bleed for 2-3 seconds

[@and3rs]

Thank you and thanks for the suggestions as well! :D

[@woki8779]

Having a second weapon you can switch back and forth might be interesting. Also battle conditions, like maybe someone would challenge you to an unarmed fight or with a handicap. And since there might be characters on your party you could make it so you can freely switch during the fight instead of after death. Looks cool and will definitely download when available! Goodluck

[@and3rs]

Thank you for the suggestions Woki! :D

After finishing Gladihoppers, I came across the video on youtube and I learned that you made the game, it was a great game, good luck.Bro also in the gladiohoppers the strategy mod is the best part of game . İt will be great if you add some strategy and trade part to the new game Greetings from Turkey

[@and3rs]

Thank you! Yes this game is pretty much based on the Spartacus' War game mode from Gladihoppers... In future videos I will show more of the overworld gameplay! :)

[@e_buffturtle]

Maybe in some levels there can be rocks on the ground and a player can pick them up and throw them, you could also use this system to make throwable items. For example maybe you can buy throwing knives from a merchant that you can use in combat to punish an unsuspecting enemy

[@and3rs]

Yes absolutely! Throwing "throwing weapons" is going to be separate from the throwing of your "main weapon"... I've got the art for throwing knives, axes & javelins done already!

[@alejandroromeromaroto6691]

This game looks promising 💯

[@and3rs]

Thanks Alejandro! Glad you think so :D

[@cuz4238]

as first,will players be able to buy armor and weapons and stuff? as second,please make like a campaign,or people to ask for a quest,and to have some side quests. as third,will you make like when a player starts a fight against someone,to have a short dialogue for a bit of fun? as fourth,will there be a fights with multiple units,if will be,you could make a background of someone fighting. That's it for now:) PS:Gladihoopers is super game PS 2:Pls if possible,make longer devlogs PS 3:Where do you stream?

[@and3rs]

1) Yeah, there will be! 2) Yep, that's planned! 3) That will happen on the overworld map before a fight starts, not sure if there's going to be dialogue in the actual fight scene though... 4) No, probably not... This game is focused more on individual characters, however you will *probably* be able to have more than one character... PS) Thank you! PS2) I will try, but I don't really have time for it... I would need to spend more time on each episode in that case. PS3) I announce it on Discord when I'm live, but I'm not sure I will stream that much more tbh, it's kind of difficult to get anything done and again, I don't have much time unfortunately

[@OperatorMax1993]

I'm really hyped for this game! And as a big fan of Gladihoppers and Mount and Blade Warband and Bannerlord, i wish you best of luck with your MnB and TW based projects! Btw, I'm not sure if this is planned But i would like the idea of being a fief or duke or baron or vassal to a faction, so you can get free money from the taxes, but also have to get to war with the other factions And btw i do like how interesting the factions seem Auvenia is like a Greek kingdom Vestmidr is like Celtic barbarians Uhteesa is like Egypt (both bronze ge and Ptolemaic) Braryria is like a Roman Republic I can see the influence from Gladihoppers ;)

[@and3rs]

Thank you! And yes it's basically Gladihoppers Spartacus' War in terms of the factions... And a vassal system is a little big for this game, but I'm definitely working towards being able to create a big-scale game similar to Mount & Blade one day! :)

[@OperatorMax1993]

@@and3rs nice! And awesome! :D Thanks for answering :)

[@halegs7529]

You could maybe add some mechanic that lets the player know how strong were the hits that his character made to the enemy, or also a system of critical hits, and, of course, the ableness of mutilation xdd

[@halegs7529]

There is a game called Bloody Bastards, maybe you can extract some cool ideas from there

[@and3rs]

Yep, all of that is coming (except for gore)

[@zhirbeanhunter4850]

If there is gonna be multiplayer. Make so that players who beat the game or did some big achievements in the offline mode Get custom customization for multiplayer fights

[@and3rs]

Not sure about multiplayer... It's probably not going to be in the game when it first releases... Maybe in an update later on if it's worth adding

[@somestormcloakwithanarrowo4671]

[@Sam-hj9bt]

Yo Nice

[@and3rs]

Thanks Sam!

[@Zero_Lynnfield001]

Here's a idea make it so that different weapons and armor react to each other like plate armor being good against unarmed and swords and axes but be weak to blunt weapons and so on also maybe add a stamina and weight system so that the player won't be invincible when they get good armor and weapons as well as them relentlessly attack the enemy

[@and3rs]

Yeah, much of what you mention are things I will try to implement! :D

[@ChromaticRed]

I didn't know you have a KZbin channel for devlogs, I have been always a big fan of your mobile games! You are one of the few developers who actually pump out good stuff on the mobile side of games! Also, is the game aiming to be more of a PC game now, or it would be released on mobile platforms too? Either way I would play it still though looks as fun as Gladihoppers, but this time I'm seeing an actual fleshed out start to end story.

[@and3rs]

Thank you! :D ... And no, it's still going to be a mobile game primarily. I'm just recording most of the gameplay footage with PC controls because it's easier for me. And yes, I'm trying to get something of a story into the game this time around since I think that's what Gladihoppers was lacking!

[@Aura-IQ]

You must be able to atleast if you are in a tough fight make the sword break yeah but woah you are working really hard don't forget about gladihoppers though
