I already have a basic low poly webgl 3D turn based game : BattleSquad
That I could convert to the FIST system D6 for combat and it could be used to run scenarios and as it uses a procedural building system could be used to make (if I added an editor) or generate levels for FIST.
What would FIST players/game master need/want?
Would an Action Point system for movement and actions in a tile based level be an OK overlay for FIST games or get in the way too much?
Made a start with a simple random mission generator just text:
The mission title generation taking the first and last two dice rolls and multiplying together generate a mission title from two lists of 36 words.
The mission number in brackets is just the dice rolls.
Going for a low res retro bitmap look what do you think?
Started porting the BattleSquad game into GLOVES, the level view is just the map view of the battlesquad level. (3d view on the left, in menu 2D view on the right).
So maybe to get it up and running fast just allow the option of regenerating the level (a single building) or altering it's size.
Then moving into deploying enemies and players and running a turn based game of FIST... lots to do B4N.
Player/Game master editing or level layout is being put on the back burner for now.
Should the map be just shades of green to keep with the green screen retro look of things?
Sorry to say the game did not make it fully formed but I've launched the randomizer so anyone wanting to quickly generate a basic random :
Might find it useful.
If there is enough interest I will continue to work on it after the JAM to see if it could become a helpful tool to run a game scenario with a Turn Based Strategy simulation.
