Thank you! :)

I’m also a bit worried about the parallax effect - but I want the game to run solid on cheap Android phones and 2D is something I can optimize well, and not so sure about voxels. I’m itching to write my own optimized voxels renderer but not today :D

RTS+Roguelike [soft spoilers ahead]: I’m aiming at Swords of Ditto experience but in Path of Exile/Diablo control style. I’m not sure if I’ll manage to finish the next feature by the end of February - but I plan that in some missions the Player would control multiple characters, peaking in a small-scale war in the final battle. Every run ends with the hero/heroine (only heroines for the Jam) getting captured and the next character goes down to rescue him/her and hopefully get a bit deeper into the dungeon only to get captured too, rinse, repeat.

That sounds like a really good combination and the story hook of rescuing your last hero is a great framing device. I hope it turns out the way you want it to.

The parallax effect looks great when you're zoomed in, so you could have most of the game play with the camera close to the player character. For the later parts when you're controlling an army and need to see more, zoom out the camera and move the parallax layers closer together. This sort of approach should reduce the distortion at screen edges.
