Unconventional Warfare

I love the game but the font causes it to become hard to read at times but other than tha I would have to say that this is a really good game for a beta testing. I have also played this twice on my live stream as well. Anyone thinking about downloading it you could see the streams to get a little understanding of the game. Overall amazing game!

Hey, I've been having problems loading the level at the Refugee Camp after meeting Bonnie, do you have any idea what I could do, or why it's happening?

The game is good, the ai  are decent. Sometimes they follow you're command and sometimes they don't, i'm also having a problem when it comes to my team being incapacitated. All of my teams have the ability of the medics but they can't heal their teammates. Plus Kayla the medic can't revive some of my incapacitated teammates, she just say she doesn't have FAK but she has 5 and she says she is not a medic, i'm also having problems when it comes to fixing the tank because I just recently got it but it's ok, theres another problem for me. When I come back to the refugee camp with the scott loli i'm just stuck on the loading screen for an hour maybe it's a bug or maybe it's my macs problem, but this game is only a demo I don't expect it to be perfect. The game is good I give you that even the story, i'm looking forward to you're game I have high expectations when it is in full release.

I remember playing it before I updated my Mac to a Catalina which uses 64bit, unfortunately because the game only runs in 32bit I can no longer play.

 The game was in-fact very fun and entertaining and I've just sitting there for quite some time messing with it.

Now that I miss playing it, can it be updated to 64bit? Thanks a lot for the game.

I played v0.6.0

It was nice

Granted it took me nearly 60 in-game days, coz aside from farming for that Scottish Loli, I was hoping I can find sweet new weapons. All I get is the early Czech semi-auto rifle,  Trench Gun(which is a boon, lol), and another Korelev-Hesta whatever the name of Not!Mosin. Still I ran to some issue.

• Attack ground with a tank still has issue. Although I find the trick to it is make sure they are not locked onto anything, sometimes, they took ages to fire, making the tank an unreliable asset aside from serving as mobile cover. Often times, I have it crewed by two, and have the driver to dismount and take cover once on good position.
• There is a problem with Trench gun, like, they are unpredictable when the hell will they shoot. Though I haven't played the 6.2 patch, a shame they got nerfed. Trenchgun sniping was kewl and pays no respect on people on cover, lol. Especialy when on lvl3 where it doesn't pay heed to its range and just shoots people outside of range as long as LOS is there.
• Loading some mission has problems. Sometimes, they took ages, sometimes, I am forced to restart. You might want to look into that.
• The story is a good ride, although, early on, I am frustrated by the blood level mechanic, making early game difficult as I cannot easily treat injuries. Speaking of which, a shame FAKs is only good for revive and not treating injuries in the midst of battle or travelling. Could ease the pressure instead of relying on blood transfusion, and gambling with extra ration hoping they recovered enough and not get into a fight.
• I hope some mechanics is available while on settlement, like be able to use blood transfusion, and potentially, repair tanks.
• Another problem is the shops are not regenerating wares. Make it come up after a set amount of time, new items to sell. It gets difficult when you can;t find a place to buy rations, ammo and other essentials. Worse, the enemy doesn't bring drops anymore.
• Can we now get a means to expand Squad inventory in the next update?
• Another problem is when loading a save, camp equipment goes *POOF*. Like, where the hell is my practice target? My campfire? And the transfusion bed? I lost them several times because of that.
• For story missions, can you add some checkpoints? The hold the line mission at the Refugee camp and Imon Mine can be frustating. Granted I find my way around the last one, having to repeat all over is frustating.
• The lean mechanic is kewl. PRoblem is its hard to determine if they will lean over until they are there. Perhaps, a UI that will show that the character will lean at that wall? Its hard to notice even if it will shos LOS while still in cover, or that the coveraged UI showing it.
• FOr some obstacles, like walls, fences and low covers, perhaps some can be jumped over? It's hard to flank or move if they were like that.

Overall, the initial story is a good ride, and I look toward to see more! ^^

EDIT : 

I almost forgot, there are other issues:

• UI problems, sometimes on Inventory, some of parts of the avatar picture goes missing.
• Another problem with UI is they are not resolution friendly. Try to use Unity's Canvas Scaler for that. It simplifies UI layout and coding.

Hi, The Game crashes on me when I try to launch it.

UW_v0.6.1_Build_wind64.zip on Windows 8.1

It just does the casual "Has stopped working [...] close the application".
Trying to open it as Administrator doesn't help.

How do I divide ammo? Right now I have one guy stacked with lots of ammo while everyone else barely have any heh

After playing for roughly 2 hours, I've stumbled upon an issue.
(SPOILER WARNING)

• After the retreating from the battle against little Emi and her soldiers (which was so epic!), I was then about to go to Zabala as instructed. I then had an enemy encounter. But upon loading the battlefield, my squad didn't load entirely and the enemies aren't responding, even if I pressed play (spacebar). Only Bragg loaded, but also unresponsive. So I reloaded and went with a different route to Zabala. Dialogue cutscenes are working fine, but when I went to the thieve's location for the next objective, the error happened again.

         Reloading the save doesn't fix it, I keep getting the same results.

• Also, I can't make my squad prone for some reason? I keep pressing "z" but nothing is happening, also tried to change keybind but that too doesn't work. Perhaps it is a skill that I need to unlock first?

I would like to post some more bugs and errors, together with my thoughts and suggestions--but I think I'll post it in another time when I played the game in its entirety. I am loving the demo so far~♪ (guess I'll start a new game though >.<)

Umm... I am getting an error on launch, with the new v0.6 demo.

I'll try to download it again to see if it works.

EDIT: Sorry never mind. I tried troubleshooting it and it worked! Thank you for the demo, really exited for this~♪

I played the game. I finished the mine in about 3-4 hours. I enjoyed it! The pause-in-real-time system, allows me to plan in the middle of the chaos. It allowed me to switch targets allowing me to survive in the fast-chaotic pace of a firefight. It has nice potential.

I got several problems with the game though:

1. During the first phase of battle, sometimes, the squad members can accept move orders, sometimes, only the mount up the tank order is the only one heeded.
2. Another is several frustrating elements of the firefights, perhaps, the troops could lean from cover, allowing them to shoot from tall cover, or trees.
3. Speaking of which, I wish I have the option to go prone to compensate when engaging from areas that lack cover. And bonus to be hard to be hit as a result.
4. When accessing interfaces in the middle of combat. I can't click 'Exit Vehicle' without panning the camera. Perhaps, you should adjust the float value on the left on when to start the pan, or add an if condition to not pan yet when hovering over character UI. I think could be called inside camera panning conditions and manually check if it overlaps a UI using Rect's intersect.
5.  When fighting in the mines, god, the troops are getting unresponsive.
6.  One problem I have is the problem of recruiting people, so far, I got Katya, a girl with Mosin Nagant, another with a Trench gun. That three, I never got those other characters.
7. I don't if its my luck or something, but every travel I got rarely result with no hostile encounter. Perhaps, make it a little bit predictable. Maybe when on town, collect rumours or maybe on travel, about hostile activities aside from the pursuers.
8. Something I should point out in the art, but the 3D models of the ladies seems...too small. Like, a significant difference compared to the male soldiers. They look too chibby as a result.
9. Also, when I finished the mines, there seems to be no prompt if I finished something. Only that the adventure continues.
10. Before I forgot, perhaps the buildings become climbable.

Aside from that, I enjoyed the game. Hoping to see more from this game!

Alright, you got me... What am I supposed to click on to launch the game in Linux.

This game is much like JA2 however, has it's own style. I happen to like it a lot, the style also reminds me of Valkyria Chronicles. Although I really do think the real-time gameplay here is one of the best I have ever seen. So many games have tried real-time strategy squad based gameplay and failed, yet this game succeeds at it.

All right, now that I've played a good deal of 5.1 and have drafted my comment satisfactorily, I have returned to post my feedback. Overall, this has been a very nice update, the new weapons and the return of the skill (now class) menu are very nice and thoroughly enjoyed. The new game mode is fun as well, and makes replayability very easy. This is another doozy of a comment, so I would suggest getting comfortable before reading it.

____________________________________________________________

Bugs (ordered most severe to least severe):

• After closing the game and loading a save, no one would attack. Period. Distance and direct orders did nothing. I did neglect to attempt attacking the ground, however. After throwing my only grenade, the enemies all scattered but no combat followed.
• After closing the game and loading a save, I attempted to give my units new pieces of equipment, but the stats would no longer change to match the new equipment. Also occurred after using the "retry" option after losing a fight.
• I don't really want to mention this one because it's fun, but alas it is a bug. When attacking ground, you can aim past the maximum range. This can be done with any weapon, and their accuracy does not seem to go beneath their furthest accuracy. This results in being able to snipe with rifles past their intended range.
• The wooden wall segment/scaffolding that you can drive the tank through didn't break when I drove through it, I had moved the camera away when it happened the first time but upon trying again it continued being in place. The tank was able to pass, but no damage to the structure occurred. The infantry units were unable to go through.
• The "Blistered Foot" and "Cuts" wounds heal, but I have not seen "Broken Arm", "Bullet Wound", or "Incapacitated" drop below 100%.
• Upon reaching the final map, I was unable to actually do the final fight. I let the convoy arrive, and the enemies following me had pretty much caught up.
  
  • After quitting the game and loading my save, it said that I was not alone at the location and then sent me to the final map.
• The incapacitated status doesn't seem to prevent the unit from fighting, despite the description text.
• Firing at the ground with a helmet equipped can result in the unit hurting themselves.
  
  • Encountered most commonly with Amal, especially common with shotguns.
• Manual target orders are sometimes followed briefly only for the soldier to change targets shortly after, sometimes to less-likely-to-hit and/or further away targets. Sometimes even targets out of range.
• The Nagant revolver currently reloads all rounds at once, instead of one-at-a-time.
• I decided to set up an ambush for an enemy when prompted, and proceeded to do so. We were attacked shortly before the actual targets arrived and were still dealing with them when the actual targets arrived. At this point, the objective appeared and said to "Eliminate all enemies (4/-1). Upon defeating them all (10/-1), we were not declared victorious.
• Right-clicking on items in units' inventories while in combat will sometimes still register a right-click command (move, attack) to the area behind the menu.
  
  • Similar issue with left-clicking on the side-menu items, including the pause/play/fast-forward buttons while camping.
• When engaging the enemies at the supply cache in the first area of the map, you will receive the loot before the mission and items again after the mission.
  • Presumably the cache contents and the standard combat spoils respectively, but it would still make more sense to have both be received upon winning the fight.
• The hotkeys for the units don't work when you're hovering your mouse over their portraits.
• On the squad screen, the "Skill" button turns into a "Class" button upon pressing it.
• The description for the Scout class says that their benefits are at the cost of an inventory slot, yet they gain one when selecting the class.
• The number of soldiers stated in the dialog prompts preceding combat sometimes does not correlate to the number of soldiers encountered. (For instance, it might say three soldiers, only to have two enemies present)
• Dug trenches don't seem to apply cover in consistent directions.
• The "Level Up" message on the end-of-combat screen does not always appear.
• If you save the mechanic's workshop, it will say that he repaired your vehicles even if you have no vehicles.
• If you save the mechanic's workshop, enter the squad menu, and then return to the map, the message about repairing your vehicles will reappear.

Not sure if the following three are bugs or not, so I am including them just in case.

• The "trader owes" value carries over between different traders.
  • Truth be told it's very useful since you can keep your inventory free of loot while also getting "credit" for it all.
• Trader and black market encounters can happen in towns where traders are already available.
• Characters can be level 0 when recruited.

____________________________________________________________

Art/Models:

The new pieces of character art are very nice, though I have noticed a few inconsistencies.

• Helena's in-combat model and chibi art both have breast pockets, while her character sheet art does not.
• Zuhra and Amal's character models and character sheet art are both very close in skin tone, while Amal's chibi art has a much darker skin tone than Zuhra's.
• Amal and Helena's chibi art seems to have thicker black lines and overall appear to be larger in size while also having smaller bodies when compared to the others.
  
  • It could just be that the lines seem larger because the chibis seem larger - although these are just observations made from the brief instances of seeing them and without having the others visible for side-by-side comparison.

It is worth noting that I very much enjoy all of the character art. Although I'm not fond of when feet (socks on or otherwise) are shown in their chibi forms, as the cylindrical shape of them kinda weirds me out.

____________________________________________________________

Suggestions:

• Weapon Info Panels
  
  • Change "Clip Size" to "Ammunition Capacity" in the weapon info panels to correctly encapsulate all firearms. It would also line up better with the two stats above it, for an aesthetic boost.
  • Add stats for weapon accuracy
  • Add a measurement unit for range
• Increasing the squad inventory size upon acquiring a vehicle would be wonderful, the amount depending on the particular vehicle.
• Increasing the rifle range by 10-20 units so they can more effectively outrange pistols, giving each weapon a more exclusive niche. Lessening the maximum-range accuracy so as to maintain the current accuracy slope would also be good.
• Indicators on the character portraits for their current statuses (hunger, tiredness, wounds) on the world map that share the severity color and hover-over details as the character sheet indicators. A "LVL" indicator would also be nice, to remind the player of unspent level ups.
• Traders refreshing their stock every few days, freeing up their inventory and changing some of their items for others (while still being the items that are found at traders in that area).
  • Maybe allow for "asking the trader to hold onto an item (or items)" (locking an item for you to return to purchase later). If the trader has rotated stock since then, maybe increase the price slightly for the "service fee."
• Being able to sell more items to traders would be nice. Not as important if they refresh their stock.
• Being able to specify an amount to split a stack by would also be nice.
• Food can be kind of hard to keep up sometimes (and other times it's incredibly easy). Food relying completely on RNG is a bit of a bother, maybe allow for alternative food acquisition methods. Below are two possibilities:
  
  • Hunting - uses ammunition, risks injury (if it is an aggressive animal or due to friendly fire), potentially draws unwanted attention to the squad (risking enemies showing up to see what the gunfire's about). Might result in a lot of food, opening trade opportunities while also serving as a means of getting food if you need it.
  • Foraging - searching the area for fruits, berries, and other edibles. Unlikely to yield much (depending on location and skill) and potentially time-consuming, but doesn't draw unwanted attention.
  • The food acquired through these methods could be perishable, limiting their usefulness to a few days (depending on the type of food) given the unrefrigerated circumstances the group is carrying them. This would allow MREs to still be desirable.
• Making the health display of the left-hand portraits circular, as they are on the over-head indicators. This would allow for better clarity at a glance, since the background filling up can be obstructed by headgear (especially helmets), making it harder to notice units' health dropping.
• A button and/or hotkey specifically to have the selected unit back up, mostly meant for vehicles but might have other uses - especially if crewed weapons are added.
• Weapon proficiencies - as a unit uses a certain type of weapon, their ability with that type increases, resulting in them performing better with that weapon type.
  
  • This would allow for units' favorite weapons to also be their best weapons while also not keeping them from being just as good with any other weapon as any other soldier.
  • Only the "human" stats would be affected: accuracy, reload speed, aiming speed, and cycle speed (in the case of manually-cycled weapons).
  • The stats of the gun would remain the same - such as cyclic rate, ammunition capacity, and damage (and for shotguns, average grouping size and pellet count).
• A character sheet for vehicle(s), so you can check their damage levels, weapon stats, etc.
• The sniper encounter is dreadfully demoralizing. Hadn't gotten a tank despite visiting most sectors once when I had it happen. Opted to use 40 ammo and risk three members, ended up losing two members (savior and sniping victim) purely due to RNG. I would prefer if this were an actual encounter, starting with one unit down (in the recoverable state), escape possible through the edges of the map, and the enemy sniper visible and engageable (though outranging the player's non-snipers. Maybe 2x-4x normal rifle ranges).
• An explanation of where the armor piercing rounds can be used in their description. Presumably only rifle-caliber and larger, but confirmation and explanation in the info box would be nice.

____________________________________________________________

Questions:

• Will the shady guy that you can steal from eventually be a combat encounter, or will it always be a dialog fight?
  • Same question but for the wolf encounter.
• Can the infantry armor and helmet be penetrated by a rifle (or larger) round?
  
  • What about by armor piercing ammunition?
• Does the enemy ever carry armor piercing ammunition for use against the player?
  
  • If not, then will they ever?
• Is the armor piercing ammunition for all classes or is it categorized as an "anti-tank weapon," limiting its use to the Support class?
• Does the location of the hit determine the damage? Or does each unit have a single hitbox?
• Are there any plans for back-up combat methods in the event the player runs out of ammunition?
• Does a unit's sight stat affect their accuracy?
• What is the timeframe of weapon and vehicle technology that will be present in the game? All of the weapons thus far have been WWI and earlier (barring the Fiat L5/30) - do you have a particular year in mind as to the "cut-off"?

____________________________________________________________

A short story:

The first time I reached the last map in 5.0, I had forgotten my armor piercing ammunition and had not located a tank on the journey. Despite this I didn't worry, as it was surely just a light tank like the Fiat L5/30 we can get. Once it rounded the corner, however, I realized just how grave a mistake I had made. I had two grenades, and neither were direct hits. Needless to say, I lost, but the threat was not what I was expecting and the surprise was wonderful.

____________________________________________________________

Conclusion:

As said in my previous post, I have thoroughly enjoyed your game thus far and eagerly look forward to its future. I hope my feedback is helpful.

Keep up the good work, as always!

ok i dont want to sound like a raging ***** (censored myself :D ) THE AI IS STILL FREAKING OP. each time its the same bull**** im getting owned.  And i know this sounds like its because im bad but actually(i play pretty much rts and that game type so i kinda know my way AI hits every freaking shot they fire its really annoying because even when im behind cover im just being swarmed because the enemy has so freaking many people on there squad.Now i dont want to say the game is bad far from it but REALLY please nerf the freaking AI its so annoying and i really dont want to play this game with these annoying op AI's its really just not fun anymore and if you dont want to nerf them completely then just put in difficulties. Positive things are the controls are amazing i like the character models and the random encounters are fun and interesting (except for the fights :C ) so keep the good work up. and i really dont want to sound ( like i sad already ) a raging and whining ***** so sorry if you think about this comment like this. I still think this game is fun and interresting so dont think i dont like this game.

Mac Version is broken

This has such potential to be a great game. With a bit of polish and better translation/ fluidity I could see buying this on Steam.

I tried you 0.4.57 demo in my MAC but it doesn't go after main menu. New Game button doesn't load the game engine and while Missions button render its own menu of missions I can't fire any mission. Any advice?

This was a great game to play but I've found that whenever you either enter into combat or camp in the world map, the loading screen freezes and will not load.

Other than that, I really loved it!

So far I have played two versions (I don't remember the first one I played but it was a few months back). This game seems like it could become something really cool, but it currently isn't there yet. Keep at it and you'll have something great. Hope you like lists, because I sure do.

Some positive aspects worth mentioning:

• The weapons' 3D models are very nice and detailed, as is the tank's.
• The gameplay itself is fun.
• Getting to change units' equipment is nice, allows for more personalization.
• Getting to camp is interesting, though the towns are close enough that there is never really much need to do so.
• Interesting maps for the story missions.
• Cute supporting characters.

Some negative aspects worth mentioning:

• Currently only two guns: "bolt-action rifle"s and "pistol"s. MG08s are available for manning in some missions but you can't relocate them nor can you take one or acquire your own.
• Enemies tend to throw their grenade even if they get downed while throwing it (I think at least, though I might be mixing that up with the older version I played).
• No trading system - if you want a piece of equipment you have to get lucky and find it.
• Rations are consumed automatically while traveling, making it difficult to keep any on you especially since you only have what you start with (which isn't much) and what you find.
• Can only dig trenches while camping, cannot rotate trenches (to my knowledge).
• Cover system is finicky. At times it is unclear what you can and can't shoot over. Characters don't seem to like poking out from around the corner to shoot.
• Camera controls are lacking, can't freely angle it up/down more. Zoom doesn't actually zoom, but rather brings the camera closer to the ground.
• Character models could use some improving IMO.

A few quibbles that I would like to list:

• I'll get this one out of the way. The use of "clip" in weapon descriptions - while the rifle and pistol could use clips to reload, the rounds are still held in a magazine. For the most all-encompassing word I would suggest "capacity."
• This might just be a design decision but the main character seems excessively massive compared to the supporting characters.
• The weapons' icons, portrait display, and in-game display not matching.
  • Rifle
    • When Katya has a rifle her portrait seems to show her with a Garand, which is not a bolt-action rifle and holds eight rounds, not five.
    • In-combat the model is a bolt-action rifle. Maybe a Mosin-Nagant.
  • Pistol
    • The icons and portraits seem to all show what looks like an M1911, Browning Hi-Power, or similar.
    • In-combat the model is very clearly a Mauser C96.
    • Worth mentioning is that M1911s, Browning Hi-Powers, and Mauser C96s all have different ammunition capacities.
• Character sheets do not have a comprehensive stat list, which would be a pleasant convenience.
• Unclear range and accuracy values on weapons when viewed in the menus.
• Pistols and rifles do the same amount of damage (IIRC, at least).

And finally, a few things I would personally like to see:

• More weapons.
• More equipment.
• More character interaction and development.
• Crew-served weapon deployment capabilities (such as bringing our own MG08). Similarly, being able to use the tank in random battles after getting it (I mean we have it with us at that point, seems kind of silly to not utilize it when we're attacked).
• More units under my command at once.
• Sandbags, barbed wire, and other player-placeable defenses.

Keep working on the game. Whether my thoughts mean anything to you is irrelevant to the fact that you have a great foundation for a great game. Keep at it, and don't give up. I look forward to this game's future.

hey there, I hope it isn’t too late to leave a reply about this amazing game

I downloaded this game and played it and so far, its fun! Despite a few questionable bugs and glitches that keeps making me reset my computer. Overall the story is compelling, the gameplay is fantastic and the characters are special in their own ways

I’m well invested and interested in it’s development and growth

I give my full support for it and I hope it’s not too late

(1) Some bugs I would like to include is resetting the mission, for some reason it resets the mission but keep the injuries my character sustain and used grenades that never returned 

(2) on mission 3 in Champaign mode, it seems that my objective is to eliminate 17 enemies which I believe is impossible because a sworn of enemies will just outnumbered my squad when one shot is sound. Plus, it’s made more confusing that in the mock mission mode to simulate the actual campaign mission 3, it’s objective differ and it made more sense than killing everybody just to get some parts for a tank. Would you mind look into that?

But overall, I’d say that this is a promising game with good story telling and lovable characters 

7/10 cute anime soldiers :>

its really good and also really hard..... 

So I haven't played this last build for long but here are a couple of early impressions.

I don't know if this is a bug but in the world map I started an encounter with some dudes and I thought that would be just one fight but it keeps putting me up to fight new dudes up to three times which I think it's kinda tiring.

The main thing that has bothered me and I don't think this happened in the last build I played but my units keep running around on their own free will while shooting, which normally puts them out of cover and I wonder if this is a bug or they just have free will, if they move to get close to shoot with more accuracy I don't think that's good, I want them to stay where I wanted and take my chances from there.

Anyway I'll post more impressions later after I play the whole thing.

any chance for a 32bit version?  ;;(

This game has a lot of potential, but is it still being worked upon or has it been abandoned? 

I think it's incredibly scummy that you submitted this game, which was created a while ago, to this game jam. The theme is completely different than your game, and your team is too large to be allowed to even participate. You've done this entirely for cheap exposure.

Well I skipped all the narrative but I liked the demo overall, feels like you are almost there to have a fully fleshed out demo that shows what the game will be all about.

My main nitpick is with the AI, they don't seem to be aware of each other not even at a minimum level and their reaction time feels unnatural and artificial. I'm guessing that giving them more human-like behaviour is something you plan to do anyway, it's just that I wished that they got startled for a sec after I starting shooting them and I also haven't noticed them moving strategically to search for cover or anything and that would be pretty cool. Since you have different ranks of enemies it would be even cooler if the higher ups moved faster or reacted faster but at the moment it sort of feels that the AI just flipped the switch between idle and combat state which feels really artificial.

The other complain I mentioned was that they are not aware of each other because I blasted half of the squad of this guy with a grenade and the other half with a exploding barrel and he hasn't moved an inch.

Poor guy maybe he is traumatised.

Anyway not the grenade neither the barrel alerted the rest of the squad and that annoyed me, it's probably easy enough to make a noise system or shared senses system between nearby characters and that would go a long way towards making them act like a real squad.

But anyway, congrats on the demo it was quite more polished than I expected and sorry for skipping the story but I get really bored with warfare plots and whatnot.

just the look of the game is great i cant wait to play this week the game look like its going to be fun

Hmm...Could use some music, but that's nitpicking. The main issue I've seen is when you tab out and work on something else--coming back to the game rewards you with a black screen, having only the characters available (at least during fights).
