[Retropunch]

I would sugest that you wait until you have something minimally playable before you worry too much about that. Much more likely to get a license tht way, not to mention any possible kickstarter.

That said, if you can get it, go for it. An official Chapter Master? Be still my heart.

Absolutely, I don't plan on going to GW or kickstarter or anything like that until I have at least a minimum viable product. I am mostly just wondering should I even entertain the idea or should I put the extra coding effort into the legal arrow dodge.

I would strongly suggest making a 'space marines fighting aliens' game, and then go to GW with it after it's taken off.

If it's good enough they'll probably throw money/resources at you, and if it's not to their liking then you can just continue on with it being an awesome strategy game (and maybe open up mod support if you fancy it).

Attempting to court GW straight out/with a MVP isn't going to work unless you're an experienced game developer with successful games behind you.

dont forget treacherous disorder vacuum seamen, archenemy of space marines

[LordBaal]

Space marines?? Don't you mean the vacumm seamen, the genetically augmented warriors made by the Imperator, the Nerverdying Deity of humankind?

They were created to serve as soldiers in the Cohorts under the command of his 20 Sonvereigns, in order to help him expand his Empire of Humankind.

[Egan_BW]

Sonvereigns

Okay, that's a great word tho. Now I wish they really were called that.

[Tack]

Yes but you forget that some were corrupted by the forces of disorder and became Disorder Vacuum Seamen, worshippers of the four great entities of disorder and the Scourge of the Empire.

[nenjin]

It is better to die for the Memelord than live for yourself.

[kamsim2]

If you end up getting an alpha build out, that would probably be a dream come true.
I'm rooting for you, at the very least.

Hi, the problem was commonplace. The game does not perceive the user's folder with the Cyrillic alphabet. And because of this game is not loaded or matched. I had to change the user.

I'm calling this image "killing a heretic"



If your still looking for some screenshots I've taken a bunch of the first level here:

I also did recording of me playing the first stage.

Oh wow, thanks I appreciate that Silverain... sorry it took months to get back and say "thanks"

[LordBaal]

Yes but you forget that some were corrupted by the forces of disorder and became Disorder Vacuum Seamen, worshippers of the four great entities of disorder and the Scourge of the Empire.

Yes, Enrohk, the entity of Conflict, savagery, and homicide. Vital fuilds for the vital fluids entity! Craniums for the cranium sovereign chair!
Elgrun, the entity of sickness and entropy.
Hctneezt, the entity of mutation and magic.
Hsenaals, the entity of fulfilment and suffering.

[Madman198237]

This is a cool game.

I poked around a bit, messed with organization. Decided to go deal with some Moderate Tyranid forces on nearby worlds.

Click 'End Turn'.

Message popup: Ork Warboss, yadada, WAAAGH! begins.


I'm as screwed as I think I am, aren't I? Oh, and I'm playing as Lamenters.

[Zangi]

Ship to ship combat is not your friend.  Otherwise, if you can establish a choke, the tide can be stemmed.

[Madman198237]

There's no 'choke' option. The map is covered in Tyranids, there's a strong Tau invasion in the southwest corner, and the Orks already have footholds in a dozen systems or more. Oh, and there's still some fleets around. I already crushed one (Appeared while I was en-route to said system with my Battle Barge and a frigate)

[Man of Paper]

It's the 41st millenium - you were more screwed than you can fathom once you got the game.

[Madman198237]

That's totally not a useless answer.
TOTALLY.

Anyway, I'm going to play this to its inevitable conclusion and hope that Penitence goes down faster when you're killing things.

[Akura]

Lamenters have the Shitty Luck trait, last time I looked at this - it could very well an entirely different game since then, but anyways. Basically, they're cursed blessed with the greatest luck a Penitent Space Marine Chapter could ever have, enemies and random Chaos shenanigans everywhere at the worst best moments possible. An Ork Waagh!! in the middle of a Tyranid invasion that coincides with a Tau expansion campaign is pretty much the weekend for the Lamenters chapter.
