So, im making a game, the story is as follows.

youre a person from a small country (name configurable) and the whole world is at war, you basically rise to power and become in control of what the world does, it could be as extreme as moving people to live on other planets, or anything like that.

i guess i just want to know what people think of this :)

Good luck on making the game.

What are you codding the game in? Java, C++ , other?

Keep us updated and never know I might even livestream it and make some YT videos on it when done

that aint gonna be enough for an indie game.

maybe not, but like i say, its not costing me anything but time, so whats to lose

for one you need to pin down your goals & work out what type of game its going to be syfy/rpg, rts, or civ type clone, if you dont you will be rethinking & reworking every new idea & never really progress.

then you may need to turn it into modules, or it may just be too big to code & debug alone.

anyway gl with your endeavor.

in my opinion an rts would be best i love turnbased strategy (i learned chess before i could read) but turn-based gets really boring, i. e. go watch two russian masters play chess. one moves and you have an intermission where everyone goes and gets a meal.
