Frontline Logistics ✨ Demo out Now!

#FrontlineLogistics: Isarian Warfare DEMO is now live!🎉 Hard to believe I made it this far on my own.😭 Time for a short break, then one final push to climb this mountain ahead!🫡 #pixelart #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

@PondsideGames I'll provide an explanatory wiki and a few basic tutorials. I'll also focus on making the design more intuitive. I'd prefer players to play the game according to their own ideas. 😄

@LogistFrontline Great idea to focus on the logistics and back end of war! The game already looks very deep with all its interfaces. Is the player expected to figure them out on their own, or are there tutorials to guide us through?

New patch released! This is a massive optimization that brings the game much closer to a finished, polished experience. There are also plenty of smaller tweaks and changes. I’ve had so many intense, thrilling moments during playtesting!🥳 #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #pixelart

@masterAlanmurph Artillery barrages will damage items and corpses that aren’t protected by buildings. They won’t disappear immediately; instead, they’ll be converted into another item to indicate that they’ve been damaged.

@LogistFrontline The second is that the shelling now destroys supplies and wounded, dead bodies, You mean if the headquarters or the hospital isn't located on a six - level fortress or your later vision of a reinforced house, or a basement, They disappear, is that what you're saying?

@masterAlanmurph If the system still judges squads to be garrisoned there, the quick-RTB feature becomes completely useless.

@LogistFrontline One means that if the office is destroyed and demolished, will the soldiers lose morale directly or will they be forcibly evicted if they are uninhabitable?

@masterAlanmurph Testing has shown that FOBs without a military camp office are usually only used for frontline supply storage. When rotation is needed, soldiers still return to more well-equipped FOBs in the rear. This means players do not view the former as actual soldier garrisons.

⚠️Old saves are incompatible with the new version.

I have arrived safely at my new place. It’s a top-floor apartment in a high-rise building on the outskirts, with a wide view of open fields. I’ve had a really good rest these past few days, and planted some vegetables just before spring ends. I’m about to get back to work.🫡

@Hngn111448 A small amount will be added this month or next month. The rest will be saved for the full release.

@LogistFrontline when will other tanks and other vehicles get added in?

@CamaradeOurs Join the Discord! There are plenty of enthusiastic players there. The tutorial is indeed a bit outdated and will be remade.

@LogistFrontline Take some rest 🙏 I tried the demo but at one point I didn't have any objectives in the tutorial (when they ask you to build the mess). So I was kinda stuck, lost, and didn't knew what to do now 😅

I really didn’t manage to finish all the testing before the movers arrived, so I have to continue once I’m at the new place. But maybe I really should take a few days off. Train stations(WIP) will serve as logistics arrival points deeper into the map. #indiedev #gamedev

@RedDawn_Dev This is a real-time pausable game!

@LogistFrontline Holy Shit! is This turn-based? or Real time?

@masterAlanmurph You've got a really sharp eye. It depends on the outcome of the collision; I didn’t set anything predefined.

@LogistFrontline If the opposite side attacks our vehicle, our vehicle after the attack, turn, personnel get off, this will happen, if the car after the successful turn, People died, the car stayed in place, the enemy will also put the roof into the river?

Vehicles on the bridge can fall into the water and be destroyed due to collisions. The current patch is now in its final testing phase.🫡 #indiedev #indiegames #インディーゲーム #gamedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

@VLADMERLYN Thank you!🫡 This is Frontline Logistics: Isarian Warfare X might block the link in my reply, so you can find it on my profile page.

@LogistFrontline What game is this? It somehow reminds me of Project Zomboid. Sorry if it's rude to compare your game to another one. It just looks really cool.

I’ll be moving in a few days, so I’m trying to finish as much work as I can before packing up my PC. Updates will be slightly delayed. ⚠️The next update will not be compatible with old save files. #indiedev #indiegames #インディーゲーム #gamedev #pixelart

Completed the refactoring of the save data, greatly boosting S/L speed. This is an accelerated S/L comparison video with 1,000+ soldiers. More importantly, the new version’s save speed is less affected by late-game progress. #pixelart #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Isarian land forces 2.0 For @LogistFrontline

@nostalgicrealms In my opinion, AI isn't really suited for creative production. It’s more like a reliable, obedient intern. Just have it handle the tedious, necessary repetitive work, and you can greatly improve efficiency while maintaining the quality of your work.

I was looking through my old art and I thought I'd make this post as I have seen a lot of fellow gamedevs asking 'how to get good at art' and thinking about taking shortcuts using ai art for their games. I was thinking, why are so many devs using ai art? Is it because it's better? Or it's an easy shortcut? Is it possible that they don't have confidence that they will ever reach a good enough level with their own art? I started learning gamedev and pixel art later in life. At first I had absolutely no idea what I was doing (see exhibit A from 2019!) Slowly I practiced, I was getting a little bit every month and the things I was trying to draw actually started looking like the ideas I had in my head. I learned that art really is a grind, but if you are determined it isn't impossible. If people want to use ai that's totally up to them but I think they are potentially not only robbing their game of visual character but also they are robbing themselves of whatever potential they might one day achieve by putting the work in. Am I the greatest artist? No way! But I think I'm way better than I was and I'm happy I put all those years into learning. I'm also happy that my game has it's own identity and character, something that is different. If I can do this from where I started I think anyone can.

@L0Fqs6 Yes, since I'm a solo developer, I can't cover everything at once. But I can make sure it will be finished before the full release.

@LogistFrontline I also wanted to say that the Russian version does not translate the description of the buildings

In the next update, enemies will be deployed via vehicles, and enemy infantry will call for vehicle support to coordinate their attacks. 🫡 #indiedev #indiegames #インディーゲーム #gamedev #pixelart

@L0Fqs6 Thanks for pointing that out. I'll make it more prominent.🫡

@LogistFrontline You were right, I was very vague and didn't notice it right away 😅
