Share My Creation Order and Security

Hello,

We are looking for a few beta testers for our game Diktatour.

In this game, you play the bad guy in charge of the order and security in an orwellian metropolis ruled by the general Presse-Purée (Potato-Masher). You can build towers and deploy mobile units to repress the protesters, but don't be too harsh and keep an eye on the social thermometer if you want to avoid a revolution.
"Privacy is dangerous. Freedom is an illusion."

Here is a video (35 MB):

Artwork and animations: S. Brunel

Looks really great. There are some video artifacts in the video. Tested with a different video player and the artifacts have gone.

Great!

Is this a Lemmings style of game where you need to guide those army men to somewhere?

I like the graphics! Is Presse-Purée the one on the bottom-right?

It seems as if there is a slight random difference of phase in the movement of the characters? This makes it more realistic.

I was thinking the same thing. Except I think it's the opposite concept, where maybe you are supposed to kill the army men before they get somewhere

Yes they move independantly so I start the walking sequence at a random position.

Here is the general, our magnificent leader, the light that guides us through the darkness :

Yes they are stupid lemmings and need to be guided, but not by the player, who tries to stop them with towers and mobile units, but by our supreme leader, the general Presse-Purée who built nice prisons for them.
The goal is to arrest the protesters before they reach the building at the top of the map. It's a tower defence game with an ounce of management (you have to empty the prison when it's full, you have to keep the social thermometer as low as possible, you have to manage a budget).

Kill? No! We need hands to extract the uranium. Just arrest them. And people get angry when their friends are killed, you know. We want people to be happy, not angry. They work better and longer.

I forgot to mention an important thing: the beta test will begin in two weeks, around the 23/11.

what minimum OS are you targetting?

 

[Informatix]

what minimum OS are you targetting?

That should run under Gingerbread but as this OS is now found only on old devices with small memory and slow CPU, I don't think that I will support this OS version. It is very likely that the minimum target SDK will be 16 when the game is published. For now, there's no restriction.

Hi,

Just a suggestion, change the general Presse-Purée with some real characters and I’m sure your app will be popular among users (or leaders) in dictatorship countries.

The game has to be a success or we'll be executed, so please TRY IT, BUY IT, GIVE IT 5 STARS, SPREAD THE WORD AROUND YOU...

Don't tell anybody that's a trojan horse designed to infect all your western degenerate brains.

The game is officially renamed Diktatour.

The game is officially renamed Diktatour.

To me, the name is really hard to remember

If people are interested, it is still possible to test the beta version of this game.
