Tooth and Cog: Online Strategy Game
« on: June 13, 2013, 01:42:41 am »
Hello everyone! It's great to see that the TI community is alive and well after my many year absence.

You may know me as the author of The Shadow of Narkemen, the RPG for TI-82/83. After a stint in the real software world at Amazon, I've decided to return to my roots of game development along with two of my friends. We are working on an online turn-based strategy game, and will be doing a Kickstarter next month. We would be especially thrilled to have the support of anyone who enjoyed my old TI games.

Some brief features:
  • True 4x multiplayer strategy gameplay
  • Synchronous turn resolution ensures you are never waiting
  • Slower-paced games similar to play-by-email are also supported, but without the typical nuisances involved
  • Unique post-apocalyptic steam-powered world to explore and discover
  • Uncover ancient artifacts and produce epic machines

EDIT: We are now live on Kickstarter!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/630327008/tooth-and-cog-turn-based-strategy-game

More info is available at our website:
http://www.rivetinggames.com/

Also we'd appreciate it if you add us on Twitter and Facebook. We're actually trying to decide on a game title now, so let us know if you have any thoughts.

Thanks!

Hello Kerey, welcome to Omnimaga. It's always nice to see old community members around. Sounds pretty nice that you're working on a new online game. Best of luck with that! :)

Heya and welcome here. I remember the Narkemen series and even visited the website a few times. Too bad it wasn't finished, but I was glad to try the first Narkemen game on emulator a while back because it's quite good.

Glad you are still doing video games, even if not for calcs. I wish you good luck with your new project! :)

Can't wait to see what it turns out to :D
Just make sure to not piss off players with overpowered in game premium stuff (that you must purchase)

Thanks for the support everyone!

@aeTIos: no worries, we're on the same page as far as premium items go. We are not fans of F2P games ourselves when they cram that stuff down your throat.

Yep that's him. I actually figured out when I saw his post on MaxCoderz forums, but I guess if I didn't see it I would have remembered after reading "Narkemen" :)

And yeah personally I don't mind premium stuff, but not if it's required to buy it in order to avoid grinding for 8 hours just for a single level up or if with the free version we can only play through like 1 dungeon, and I especially hate individual games that has a monthly fee like World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XI and XIV. Xbox Live or PS4 online fees plus the Internet bill are already enough, so I don't want to have to pay $9.99 a month just for one single game.

As long as it is Free to Play i'll maybe give it a try :)
And tons of online games have premoium stuff to buy extras or gait quicker progress and I don't mind that, i just don't buy it, have better things to spend my money on.

Especially when I hear stuff about MMORPG companies going bankrupt then shutting everything down as a result, causing people who invested years of time and hundreds of bucks in the game to lose everything. Granted, it takes money to support the MMORPG, but I think I would just put in-game ads and make everything dirt cheap so people will feel more like buying it.

Glad you have the same view on that :D You could have premium skins or so though (like, fancy outfits for your units or so)

Hmm, there's not too many good online strategy games out there. It'll be interesting to see where this goes and how it develops.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Agreed. I hate expensive game breaking purchases, but cool cheap items are OK for me. ;)

Hey, just wanted to update this thread with our new game title, Tooth and Cog. And while I'm at it and feeling generous, I'll leave you guys with some concept art.
