getting a constant 33 fps in WINE very smooth and stable... awesome work!

wow thats an awesome demo, definitely has potential. the graphics are good too, but would look a whole lot better with shadows and lightmaps and using models for the trees.

there were some small issues(as to be expected in a demo) such as when the enemies died, they would sometimes come back to life and then die in 1 hit.

also, when I ordered a group of people to attack an enemy sometimes a few of them wouldn't move or do anything. 1 of them also got stuck in a looping walk animation but didnt move.

the pathfinding was great, good job

EDIT:
I tried running it again, but it crashed whenever I pressed '0' to start it.
I'm using Windows 7 x64

it said:

Debug error!

This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information.

when I press ignore or reply it freezes

Sure.... but I'm a lame artist but working on it

)))

such as when the enemies died, they would sometimes come back to life and then die in 1 hit.
This is not a bug.... chars do not die.. they fall senseless... but after some time the stamina rises and they can fight again... It will be a feature...
Unit will need to be finished (killed) to die.

also, when I ordered a group of people to attack an enemy sometimes a few of them wouldn't move or do anything
Not a bug also.... Each weapon has it's own attack range, and also there is a limited place around the unit for attackers... so sometimes there is no place for all your troops around 1 enemy....

1 of them also got stuck in a looping walk animation but didn't move.
This one is a bug indeed, but fairly simple one.. i just need a time to dig into AI.

Thanks a lot for the review.... i really appreciate it.

15fps on integrated 6 year old graphic.

why would you release demo without all features? Are you going to charge for the game? There is FREE in the title of the thread so I assume not. Maybe its not finished, but you could use testing in any stage.

Comments:
+ It looks polished. Animations are slow and smooth. Are you doing those with max3d and panda only?
+ kudos for one man project
+ minimap is nice
- sound and music as soon as possible
- why 3d on 2d map? You should make it all full 3d.
- nothing happens when I select unit. I expect GUI change. At least Info about selected unit. Name, stats, inventory...
- cursor should change when floating above monsters, more indicators what unit is friend an which one is foe.
- movement could be faster
- moving with keyboard arrows is like pixel by pixel, not useful
- I don't see that keys 5,6,7,8 are working
- more gui buttons! I guess they are just not in this demo?

Can I grab your models for my project?

EDIT: MAJOR +++ IS models working with different WEAPONS (which I couldn't test, but I can tell its there)

This looks good. I like the ideas, and the tech demo shows what you have achieved so far well.
Are you looking for an artist? I have some modding experience and am learning 3d modelling, up till now I've done a lot of texture work. Might be interesting to work on this.

To show what hes done? or to let people test it, say what they think about it?

I didn't liked most of rts games, but when its combined with rpg I think I'll give it a try when I have some time(to early in the morning).

Very polished game, i like the animations and the comabt system.

Hi) your game is quite good, it's one of the most polished tech demos that i've seen on that forum!
Do you need the second developer?
