Game Similar To AoE: Feudal Wars

[-Dare Devil/x/]

First of all, mods please remove this if this isn't allowed.

Hi all! There is a game called Feudal Wars that just launched on Kickstarter today. Since we're all here on the AoE hub, I figured maybe some of you guys would be interested in this game too. I read through most of the Kickstarter and it looks similar to AoE. I'm happy to see games like this surface.

"Feudal Wars is a medieval realtime strategy game, styled after the great RTS titles of the 90s. The game will be free and easily accessible from the browser, with an emphasis on multiplayer and online community.

The game has been in active development since January of 2015. Many of the core features are already complete and the game is in a playable state. A mini game and access to the map editor are available as kickstarter rewards. The full game with online multiplayer is set to release in December of 2016. "

Looks like the team has some experienced people involved:

1. Chris Scott | Programmer/Creator
   
2. Jorgito Ageitos | Lead Artist, unit/building design (worked on AoAK)
   
3. Chris Mortin | 3D Artist, building design (worked on Indian architecture mod)
   
4. Rubén Pesqueira | 2D Artist, environment design (worked on AoF and AoAK)
   
5. Troy Hetzler | Community Manager, balancing, tech tree design (AoE streamer)
   
6. Bennett Lloyd | Historian (worked on AoF, AoAK, AoM: TotD)

Just backed it, looks pretty good! The other game I was looking at is empires apart, but these guys look to be farther along. Really liking the art. An old 2D style built in a modern engine. Tweeted it out and put it up on facebook.

You're welcome! I might want to stream a little of the invasion mini game. I backed as an earl and it says that's included. Is that mini game out yet or is that future?

EDIT: After looking a little closer I think I saw march as a date for invasion?

-Aye, looks like CBA is May and Invasion is March. That is pretty soon!

No doubt ...

We will try to mantain the delivery dates true as long as we don't suffer any drawback.

Would have been nice if HD was fully functional, but STILL no patch 4.7....

Please make Feudal Wars happen!

[Mr_F0NG]

-Done!

Sorry but it looks rubbish, it's like units levitate or slide on terrain, animations seem to be in 4 FPS or less, and while I appreciate the 2D isometric style, it's not even close to AOE2, buildings just seem weird - the POV is just wrong. And why browser based? What the hell were you thinking?

[Mr_F0NG]

Well to be fair it's in kickstarter. It's in like an alpha state. You can't be exactly like aoe otherwise why not play aoe :)

@WelcomeToMars: I dont fully understand your comment, beware that english is not my first language.

-Aoe units have 10 frames per angle, and only 5 angles because uses a mirror mode with a total of 200 frames per unit.

-Feudal wars units have 20 frames per angle and 8 angles with a total of 640 frames per unit.

The only reason that the units seems to be gliding is because the frame rate beign displayed is set too high, but that is easily fixable in seconds.

-The buildings looking weird. Could you please elaborate more? all feedback is usefull.
They are made by Moppo, the guy that did the indian mod. I am also helping too, I made the african buildings for the last DLC of aoe.

-The POV is just wrong. Again could you elaborate more please?
I truly dont get this because we are using the same camera that we use to create assets for aoe, so it is exactly the same one.

-Browser based and dont forget client based too in steam.
Browser is good because you can play it anytime you want without needing to download anything and it works in all the platforms because is just on the browser.

however for people with terrible internet like me, or the ones that just dont trust on browser games, we also want to make a steam client with offline mode.

To everyone else also thanks a lot for the feedback, and be sure we read your opinions and ideas. We are merely on early alpha right now and lots of stuff are placeholders.

-Looks like first update:

"Thanks everyone for your support. We raised almost 15% of our goal in the first day alone. We're off to a good start!

Right now we're toying with the idea of running an screenshot contest. We'd make the map editor publicly available to everyone for a short period of time so everyone can contribute. The idea is that you create a scene in the Feudal Wars map editor, take a screenshot, and post it either on the Feudal Wars facebook page or tweet it to the twitter account. The winner will get a Grand Duke account with all rewards. If you already have a Grand Duke account, we'll think of something better for you :).

What do you guys think? Let us know if it sounds like a good idea! "
