Small update out now! Progress is a little slow, but I should mention that the vast majority of time spent on this project in recent months has gone towards the next set of maps and various preparations for said maps, not included in the change log.

So the change log isn't really indicative of the development pace right now, but here it is. Stay tuned for more updates.

Quote from Forge_User_91227890>>

Just played a bit of the first mission, was sniped, some feedback:

1.) Too hard for me, even on normal.

2.) Too many options per character.

3.) Too  much tactical  RPG?/Character improvement? options in the briefing.

In a nutshell: Too much too early.

Yeah, the idea is to include a tutorial map, briefly going over each unit's abilities and their uses.

 

 

Just some ideas:

2.) Allow the "Armored Vehicles" to heal the squad when inside. This allows some success and learning even if you don't know exactly what is going on and how to use the 99999 special abilities perfectly. Maybe auto-healing or a medic character would also work. Some forgiveness. 

The thing is, I don't want players to be able to bum-rush enemies without having to worry about getting hit, and unlimited healing would kind of have that effect.

I have been thinking about the possibility of checkpoints of some sort where you can get healed up at a certain point during missions. As you say, the first map could use something like this at least.

3.) Make the RPG-part (where you choose improvements before the mission) an ongoing process. Meaning: Don't offer everything from mission 1. Do it like Hyperion's research/upgrades in WoL. Again, this is to not confuse player too much and keep him interested for what might come later in the game.

There's a little bit of reading at first, yes, but I specifically wanted more freedom for the player instead of choosing one of two options.

The perks aren't anything incredible, so you're not going to lose a mission due to making bad choices in the loadout screen.

4.) Don't give all special abilities to the squad in the first mission. Allow one ability per character and give them more later.

Just my 2 cents.
