  Out of the Pulsar and into Warbound

  It's been a while since I last gave an update on what I've been doing and it's been a busy few months indeed! Pulsar is now everything I had wanted, it originally started as a personal project and being a more old fashoned player I prefer to keep media on my own PC which means I rarely use services like Spotify and others. I made what became Pulsar as a 7 day challenge and it exploded in scope from there during development in the months following into the game it is today. Snowpult which followed was a similar situation, I wanted to learn all of the processes and skills needed as a solo developer to publish a game, improve on it based on player feedback and everything else in between. Pulsar and Snowpult suffered from one problem, they were limited by how they were started and that's where Warbound comes in. Warbound was not born from a personal challenge or aimed towards skill building but is something entirely new. So what is Warbound? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44706623/d84fdb6c2a0d4b7c6e29045ec11d73c7919bbbe4.jpg Warbound is a strategy game which combines roguelike aspects with side scroller mechanics with a pinch of turret defense. If you've ever played games such as Age of War or Halo Wars you'll be familiar with some of the games ideology and Warbound combines the tech tier upgrades of games like Age of War with the strategy of conventional RTS games to create something new. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44706623/615dc0c446e46fa4b758ba143bc4bcc2d0733e6b.jpg I'm planning to begin playtests in the upcoming months to give players some insight into the game and also gather feedback on what works well and most importantly what does not, Warbound is also aimed at being supported on Steam Deck so it will be a game which players can play whilst on the go.

  Announcing Warbound

  Hey there! It's been a hot minute hasn't it? I'm excited to announce my next upcoming game Warbound, a side scrolling RTS inspired by classics such as Age of War and many others. Warbound will take players through various eras from sending hordes of Stone age warriors with slingshots and clubs to Skeleton wars and the far flung future where machines have taken over. You have one goal; conquer the opposition at all cost! Defend yourself with deadly turrets, modernize your base through the ages and devastate the battlefield with barrages of lasers and meteror strikes. I recently reached vertical slice for the game in the past couple of weeks and I'm working towards getting Warbound ready for a demo build in the near future. See you soon on the battlefield!

  Step into the beat:

  Hey there! Pulsar recently had a major Quality of Life update and now includes a selection of tracks included along side the file browser menu. I have also launched the demo build which includes the example tracks and gives players a chance to test the game. Over the past few months I have been checking player feedback, addressing issues as I encounter them and continue working on updating the UI with a new layout that is due to be shown in the weeks ahead along with looking at adding additional tracks to the included playlist. This latest update overhauls the audio analysis system and also fixes some issues found involving incorrect weapon selection for one of the game modes and improves hit registration. In the near future I'm planning to add a exciting new game mode to go alongside the UI improvements called Role Reversal where players will fight flying robots which move and shoot in beat with the music and to win you must richochet their shots back at them.
