Thanks mate! It’s one of my favorites too. I’m currently working on a new zombie game (Working Stiffs in a bank) but I’ll look at all the great feedback I’ve had and see if I can design something good for a Pocket Platoon sequel soon.

I hear ya. I’ve got “Working Stiffs” (a Zombie game) coming out next, then a one-button game called “Wacky Wings” which is pretty much finished… I’ve started work on “Danger Dungeon 2 (Solo Mission)” which fixes all the stuff people didn’t like in Danger Dungeon, and then – maybe – I’ll get time to see how bad that Aztec God Game code looks after all this time! How does Roman God Game or Greek God Game strike you?

LOL that one game has more fans than anything else I’ve done… so yes there will be an Aztec 2, the problem is just that it didn’t make much money and I’ve still got to eat! I’ll go read the comments thread again and make a list of the things people didn’t like, that’ll give me an idea how much work the sequel will be…

I see what you’re getting at. And that way it might be possible to have more advanced controls for all your party members. Doesn’t it get a bit dull though, having to set instructions all the time… or do you just do it every now and again to change behaviour when someone is taking a beating or so?

Sorry for the REALLY late reply. Yes, it gets dull if you do it everytime or at least when you have to pause it after every used skill to select another. But as you’ve mentioned, its only needed in the hard parts.

I took 3 months writing this one, I figure it’s worth an hour a day for a few days to address the key concerns of the players! Plus I’ve found and fixed a few bugs that turned up in the comments so I owe a big thanks to the players who reported them… (makes this game better, and leaves less work for a sequel!)

Thats preventative. All we have done is point out the smeared lip stick in public, drawing more attention. Even though its somthing they have already likely realized and its pretty much to late to do much about. Did you read the comments on the game or their shouts to see if this was previously mentioned? It would have saved you the displeasurable experiance of having to typ it out…tiwce.. on their profile and not in a private message.

Thanks :) Yeah I ran out of money after three months so I had to wrap it up and get it out there. The good thing is that has left lots of ideas on paper for a sequel (plus a lot of the comments have useful suggestions which will help make the sequel a much better game).

Ah that would most likely be it. They are extremely fast at swapping armour in and out so it’s easy to miss. They always say what they’re doing in the chat window – but that scrolls too fast to read sometimes (I should have added a scroll bar so you can see old messages!)
Thanks for the clarification!

You’ll probably find the game a lot more responsive if you use the keyboard to move with… at least for short distances. It makes sense to use the mouse if you want to go halfway across a maze and can’t be bothered with all those corners! The second annoying big red prompt is “use WASD or arrow keys to move”… but I know, I know, no-one reads on-screen text!

I have some plans… I’ll probably do that when I have enough new ideas to make it worthwhile. My next game might interest the players of Aztec… I’m making a dungeon crawler (more Rogue than Dungeon Master).
