Older Info:

Hi all, I'm here to post about the game I'm creating for NES, a real time strategy called Armed for Battle. This has been in production for 2 years, and is finally nearing it's completion.

There will be a demo by the end of the year - maybe sooner. If you PM me with your email, I will add you to a list that gets contacted at the time of demo release, cartridge release, etc.

Trailer 3 - showing Battle View



I hope you like it, and look forward to any comments. If you'd like to know more about this game, please check out this interview at RetroGameNetwork.com, which will talk more in depth about the gameplay, and it also gives a bit of background for this project.

I now have a development blog.  I'm hoping to add some sort of content weekly - if I have nothing new to talk about, I will add old stuff, which might be scans from when I was designing parts of the game on paper.  I used to go nuts over the Nintendo Power articles that had to do with game development, so maybe you'll find this to be cool.
 
The latest entries in the blog feature a preliminary sketch for the box artwork, and an interview from pixlbit.com.

I've still got your flier from Too Many Games.

What is the estimated price point?

I've still got your flier from Too Many Games.

That is awesome to hear!  I can't really comment on a price quite yet, since I'm working out details, but I'm hoping to keep it in the vicinity of some other homebrew releases.

The demo is at my blog (the blog is very new too, so please check it out):

If you have any additional questions about how gameplay works, please contact me, or you can add the question to the comments section of the video.

Hope you like it!

Rizz, you should post that black box artwork you have for this.  It really ads to the overall allure.
