This is sort of a half advertisement for a programmer/half a Jack draw thread so bear with me.

!!!!!!
are you ready???
!!!!!




If you like Xcom and other fun strategy games, maybe you will like my idea!!!

but first, let me drop some fun art so you arent bored



ja dats rite, this game has lolis!!! are you ready???



So anyways, it is sort of like Xcom, it is on a little checkerboard, you move your little men around, and you fight people, it is pretty simple you dunnkopf-

you can have lots of little men, or a couple super little men, or one godlike little man, depending on how you play your cards

each little man has his own profile, where he was recruited from, any political affiliations, traits such as lazy drunk, drunk ex-marine, lazy drunk ex-marine, and military strategist. These traits will modify how each little soldier fights.

!!! more art



as you can see this is pretty operator!!! (grif you know what I am talking about rite??)

So you buy a crappy apartment/warehouse/cave/russian cabin from which to do your dark deeds, then you take contracts or get into fights I guess (bad idea I think). You get money and then you can use it how you please (guns, little soldiers, lolis, guns)



here is one of those generic russian thugs
they are p cool

Anyways- this isnt no regular turn based game (u rdy?)
instead of taking turns like a retard, you make your moves at the same time. This may blow your mind so I drew a graph showing how you queue up your little men's movements/actions



As you can see, you set up the actions in chronological order, and once you are finished, you hit the BEGIN button, in which both you and your enemy go about doing what they are doing.
If your little soldier sees an enemy in his arc of fire/an enemy shoots at him/other thing- he can do many a thing!!! this is the best part. If your little man is behind cover/a pro/has the jump on the enemy, he will engage until your little man deems pertinent to hide/move/continue with his actions.
If an enemy gets the jump on you, your little man may dive to the ground or spaz out, or maybe get PTSD.



It is pretty cool stuff!!!



The inventory/equipment will be pretty serious, you can carry a lot of stuff into battle, but it will slow your guy down, and maybe make it hard to do a lot of stuff, so you have to be (tactical).


****
it will be exciting and I cannot wait!!!
accepting all programming applications, will pay 30k a year, based on our profits!!!! I have sent letters to Ninento to license my new game!!!
****
please reply

Sounds interesting, I wonder how this will pan out.
[And for some reason I think you a digging up the already buried hatchet]

This also reminds me of a beta of some game somewhere.

Sounds a little similar to this, though you've mentioned an entirely real-time interface.

Jack, I seriously can't say if you're being serious about this or just trolling us immensely.

Great work.


Also, if this ever gets done, make sure that the loli's primary weapons are akimbo gatling guns.

interesting....

continue.

Sounds like Laser Squad Nemesis, mixed with X-COM. Both of which i am big fans of...

If you're serious, then make this, please.

Throw me a PM, Jack. I'm busy with a thousand or so things at the moment but if you've got any idea of exactly how you want the various systems set up, are ok with targeting flash and feel like at least chatting about it hit me up.
