Sooo...

as you may or may not know, I'm planning to include a strategy part in my latest game. But, to get it all working first without having to mess around with a halfways finished game, I'm creating another, seperated kinda-sort of strategy game first. Nothing quite refined, just the raw skeleton of the engine - with a war in space between the Red and the Blue Cups. So my question is: Would there be any interest in this? Should I make it in a real game with a story and all that stuff? Or release the source code? Or just the game? Or shall I just keep it all to myself?

Sorry for not giving you any screenshots, but my connection is currently b0rken - I'm typing this at my grandparent's. Probably tomorrow, or the day after.

/EDIT: Oh, and in the unlikely case people want this to be a real game, with story and stuff, I'll need someone who can draw good looking graphics at the size of 40x40. I suck at drawing graphics.

I think you should just get on with your real game once you have the functionality working. That way the strategy part will seem fresh and original when we play it there, and afterwards you can always release the source code for the strategy game.

I've started to make a skeleton for a TBS game between Red and Blue, and I've almost finished it, except for battles... I agree with Gothic, don't show prototypes and skeletons, show us a game...

When I first started reading that I thought it was a TBS of Red vs Blue skeletons.

I'm strangely disappointed to realise I'd read your post incorrectly.

The Blue Cups would win. That's because they're full of functional goodness and good functionality. Not to mention cuppitude.

But, due to Pester Quest, JetXL (who is that guy?) only talks to people with red cups!

(yay for school computers i can use while my connection is still b0rken)
