Happy to work with my community! This time I collaborated with canon-de-75 with their worldbuilding and art for the latest Rixas tutorial! How to develop armor piercing weapons!

For some reason, I can't directly reply to @onlinepersona . Haha, I think an ink cartridge designer would be very practical!

Oh no worries, it wasn't rude at all, I just wanted to point out the differences! I like COADE but just find it a bit lacking for my liking. Also, thank you very for your donation!

Thanks for your kind words! Everything is already functional! Just didnt have graphics for my designers yet.
Coade gave inspiration for editors for sure, but there are some key differences in overall gameplay based on my perceived shortcomings.
-
Grand campaign and history
Rixas will have a grand campaign that lasts 70 years(tech wise) in a fictional world that allows for organic military buildup and worldbuilding setup. -
Real cost, time, logistics, materials
Currently this is abstracted, but things in rixas need proper tooling, resources, and transport to warehouses or the frontline (check out my stockpile video for a sliver!). -
Persistent grand battle map w rear line
All squads on the map doing their thing at once. This includes real supply trucks, field kitchens, hospitals, mechanics, etc!

Created a prototype cartridge visualizer for my established designer, and it has been one of the biggest things to gain traction so far! I guess people really do like graphics no matter the depth of gameplay! [\#gamedev](https://kbin.social/tag/gamedev)

A completely free(forever) grand strategy game where you control everything about your army, air force, and navy.
In Rixas, you will possess the heads of your country’s military throughout time. You will be able to create gear down to the finest details. The loadout of every soldier and composition of every platoon is under your control.
Politics is at large, as it is in any other organization. You don’t have full control over the government or your subordinates. People need time to be convinced of new ideas or equipment, and victory can make a nation complacent.

Wasn't expecting to stop being a solo-dev this early, but people are talented and have dedication! Introducing a new developer to the team! Zhai Jinpeng (Phoenix) has developed one of the best Internal Ballistic simulators I have seen (The Phoenix Internal Ballistic Simulator). His system will be integrated into Rixas with the needed adjustments. I am expecting to heavily change some of the designers as a result of the change. [\#gamedev](https://kbin.social/tag/gamedev)

Adding to this, one thing that I never thought I would do, is having to come up with pretty crazy geometric solutions:
Ex. how many circles fit on the outer layer of a larger circle with a certain space in between
Or the fact that I need to troubleshoot Equations because so many papers and journals have typos in them.

Thanks for your questions! In this case, it is calculations of complicated things. Multithreading is mandatory because some of the problems that need computing hang up a single thread!

Yes! With default binaries the sizes are roughly the same, but if you want custom template exports like me the size baloons compared to a windows custom binary. I think the windows automatically optimizes for space compared to linux custom exports.

Rixas is a project that I have been working on in Godot for a long time! (I placed my bets against unity correctly!)
I also think it's a great project to show how Godot can be used for more intense processes!
Thanks to the generous support of the community, Rixas will be available on Steam!

Rixas has a very sizable trans and LGBTQ+ Community!

I have been working on my project, Rixas for quite a while now! **A completely free(forever) grand strategy game where you control everything about your army, air force, and navy.** In Rixas, you will possess the heads of your country's military throughout time. You will be able to create gear down to the finest details. The loadout of every soldier and composition of every platoon is under your control. Politics is at large, as it is in any other organization. You don't have full control over the government or your subordinates. People need time to be convinced of new ideas or equipment, and victory can make a nation complacent. The game is currently in the early stages of development. Most choices and simplifications are intentional and does not represent the final product. Here is a showcase of some designer features that I have upgraded recently and going through a hypothetical scenario to design something!: [https://youtu.be/vTctMDiop1I](https://youtu.be/vTctMDiop1I) [\#gamedev](https://kbin.social/tag/gamedev) [#indiedev](https://kbin.social/tag/indiedev)

One thing you could do is to use resources and one or two global scripts to run simulations like I do in my project. There is going to be some interconnectedness with nodes, but that is a strength, not a weakness in my opinion!
