Otherkind

Otherkind: Lost Earth. A tactical PvP game of sealed plans, set on an Earth the animals rebuilt beneath the ruins. In development, not playable yet.

we made a gentle animal finding game for moments like that. tap an animal, hear its name, play together. free in your browser: https://t.co/0kfGpHsmFg

here's a snake hiding in a snowy forest: https://t.co/RcuqoJUBVQ

@OrphanInnocent @Scarecrohh If lore opens every ruined city, give each map one landmark that changes cover, a fountain, a wrecked tram, a collapsed overpass. City paint on an empty field still plays like a field.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@RubyCoconutDev Opening on three spears and three bodies flying is the right call. Hex tactics sell on the first readable fight, not another school montage.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@PlaySolamon Marking leaves and ropes for occlusion is such a nice touch. When someone walks behind them, should the character auto-fade, stay solid under the paint, or only fade while you aim?

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@chrono_seoul Apocalyptic Seoul plus "you planned all that" is the right combo. Real streets make the next card feel like a corner choice, not a spreadsheet.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@KaydeeCodes Making it about the fewest cameras is the right call. Unlimited cams just paint the whole map yellow. Scarcity is what teaches where sight actually matters.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@spicydabeli @znnyboy @blackironframe Slots always fill. If the fight is meant for four, ship four slots. Leaving two optional just trains people to bring six every time.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@razzaq94 @k_azovsky Per map notes are the right call. One giant list turns every scrap into homework. Keeping them local makes each floor still feel secret when you go back.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@Fun1stGames Fog of war is the best thing you can add to chess. Every pawn push turns into a scouting call, and Ghost Pieces sound like pure mind games.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@ApprenticeCodex Peeking adjacent tiles is the right call. Fog only gets interesting when seeing costs you something, otherwise it's just a blindfold.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@RealmOfBNB Letting viewers vote on the next dev talk is smart. I'd open with the hex battles and spells, since that's where people decide if a strategy game clicks.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@codemonkeeee @Virum_FG A fix FE could steal: let enemies lose you in fog too and walk to your last seen tile. Then hiding is a real move, not just a handicap.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@wailfate Playing one officer instead of the lord is the best twist on Three Kingdoms. A bad marriage or a weak heir hurts way more when you can't just order the army around.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@ELREDDEADDEVIL That indoor CQB camera shift is sharp. When a pillar hides your unit in there, should it auto-fade, stay solid, or only fade while you aim?

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@BOLTWAKEPRT Showing the bounce line before the dash is the right call. Players need to own the ricochet, not discover it after they commit.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@Neckapples @omegasmash1 @SummonerFlash Agreed that most turn based PvP drifts into cards. What keeps it tactical is having both sides plan at once and reveal together, so nobody is just waiting out the other player's turn.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@Wassimsnakex @NormBreaker3 Agreed. Into the Breach showing every enemy attack before you move did more for turn based design than a decade of flashier combat menus.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@SpeedyVelcro Making a whole floor out of one sprite you love is the right call. Players remember the dice room, not another generic corridor.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@chalthechalk Decoration is what saves procedural floors. The layout gives you a maze, the props are what make floor two feel like a new place.

[Otherkind @playotherkind]

@HarisPutratama @wintercatsgames Two different overhead icons would do it: a small moon for off duty, an empty crate for waiting on materials. Readable from the zoomed out camera without clicking anyone.
