Mahr on Handles of people who want to play games

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:38:01 -0700

Post your handle here if you want to play some games but don't want to use auto match. You can add friends via the game and challenge them to a match!

As one of the (two) developers, I'll start. I'm Mahr. The first time I ever had someone call me by Mahr was last year when I worked as an enforcer at the Penny Arcade Expo. This is the first real game that I've built and I'm really excited! I hope everyone likes it! If you don't, and you have some constructive criticisms, please drop me a line.

Mahr on Future versions tracking and suggestions

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:56:51 -0700

There are a number of features that we would like to get into Office Combat that we just couldn't squeeze into the first release. If you have some ideas on additional features you would like to see, please post them here. I will keep this first post up to date with the features that we plan on adding.

Near Term: (in the next version or two)

Score each match based upon kills, match result, etc.
Player rankings based upon score.
Tournament
Selling a just deployed unit doesn't incur 30% loss
Additional maps

Future Versions:

Challenge ladder
Artillery unit (spitball?)

To Consider:

Terrain types and corresponding bonuses, etc
iPad support (larger maps?)
Additional strategic units similar to moneybag

Mahr on Defensive strategy for the first turn

I like to start out a match with a couple of staplers in front of each money factory. The staplers won't kill the incoming attackers, but they will soak up the damage and keep the money factories alive. Once you know where the attackers are coming from it is much easier to mount a real defense.
