War Grids is my third autobattler game. My other two are Totally Terrific Battle Prototype and War Shapes.

I definitely have something of an affinity for this genre so there's a pretty good chance there will be something like this again in the future, in a different form.

On the comparisons I've made to Illwinter's games, I aimed to create something that would play kinda similar to how the combat mechanically functions.

However, without the grand-strategy multi-battle elements, there is definitely a huge gap in how War Grids feels and how Illwinter games feel.

I use Unity 6.1 and C# to create all my games. If you're interested in game development, I highly recommend the youtube channel Brackeys for beginner-friendly tutorials. That's where I got started.

Thanks for the kind words! I'll keep trying to make cool stuff :)

Hi, unfortunately War Grids will be retired and no longer receive any updates. I'm glad you liked the game though!

I will continue developing whatever comes to mind and whenever I have time for it, so if you are interested in this style, there will be more to come in future projects!

WOW! Congrats that's a heck of a commitment lol

Thanks for the kind words! Don't worry, I'm taking lots of breaks while working on it! Putting it on steam would definitely be a huge step, but development on War Grids may be slowing down soon as I start to move onto other projects.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be working on an update to improve some of these issues.

No ChatGPT involved :) I created all the sprites and code myself. Thanks for trying out the game! It's based on Democracy 4, so it probably helps to be familiar with that first.

thanks for the feedback! you can make the population drop by turning mutation to max, which should make offspring non-viable for survival!

Thanks for the suggestions! Great to see some creative use of the creature creator.

Thanks for chilling! I don't know why the final size number is so weird, but good to see there's a meta apparently!

Thanks!! I'm surprised anyone would ever have so much to say about this project! I've checked out your profile and you have some pretty cool stuff too!

Thanks for the feedback!

Purchasing ships is meant to be relatively cheap since every spawn costs XP. The bigger long-term sunk cost is the upgrades, which grow in cost exponentially.

Unfortunately it does get less stable at faster speeds. I tried my best to fix these issues but lost motivation to resolve it when it took too long to find the source of the problem.

Thank you for trying it out though!

Hi! Unfortunately, I haven't enough experience with mobile app development yet. I might return to it in the future to see how this idea could work on phones though!

This is great! Feels very smooth and the graphics are easy to read. Totally nailed the game feel.

I've gone back and fixed the game. Thanks for the report! It should be playable now on most devices regardless of resolution, unless your device is extremely small.

It is possible to run the game despite the incorrect screen borders. If you press ctrl - on your keyboard, you can zoom out enough to click the full screen button which will fix it to match your resolution. However, you're right and I will see if I can provide a fix.

Thanks for the feedback! You are also awesome.

18 days, but spread over 3 months because of school stuff during development. Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you very much! I'm glad it was enjoyable.

Just finished a quick map after downloading the game for the first time, but I can't start playing the map without saving the game first.  Problem is, when I go to "Save map", I type a name for the map, "bridge", then click "Save map" to save it. Then, I just click "cancel" to get out of that tab and I assumed it was saved. However, as I went to click "Play map", it told me Map changes need to saved first. I went to "Load map" and clicked the dropdown tab, nothing was there. I don't want to lose this map because I can't save it even though I keep trying to. 

Any help on how to solve this?
