Hi Gamers!

What is Emplacement?

The Challenge Awaits!

Features:

• Play through single player, learn new strategies, and beat the game your way!
• Survival, see how long your strategy can hold up against an endless horde!

Hi! Emplacement is a unique game that combines the elements of turn-based strategy and builder games. In Emplacement, you must place tiles to construct farms and barracks, and use them to produce resources and units. You can connect tiles and rotate them around to create different layouts and strategies. Your goal is to kill the other players king, similar to in chess, but with more freedom and creativity. Emplacement features three game modes: PvP, Single Player, and Survival. In PvP, you can challenge other players online and test your skills and tactics. In Single Player, you can play against AI opponents with different difficulty levels and personalities. In Survival, you can face endless waves of enemies and see how long you can last. Emplacement is a solo game dev project that has been in development for just about 2 years. It is a passion project that aims to offer a fresh and fun experience for strategy and builder fans. Emplacement will be released on Steam on 14 Dec 2023. You can wishlist it now and get notified when it launches. If you are interested in Emplacement, you can follow the game on @Glaikunt_ and join the discord to get the latest updates and chat with other fans. You can also watch the trailer to see the game in action. Thank you for your support and interest in Emplacement. I hope you will enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it. Glaikunt

Hi! I will keep this brief but I have lots of additions in the demo. There is still a lot that needs cleaned up but sadly recently haven't had time to finish them all before the event. I'm working hard to get this all done before the release. Might be a few bugs about but hopefully nothing that is game breaking (let me know if you find anything though :)). Changelog:

• Level Progression & Upgrade
• New Army Types
• Tutorial Now Optional
• New Boss Level(s)
• 16 Levels With Different Scenarios Each Playthrough
• Quick Finish

Hi, I have been making a decent amount of progress through recent weeks. I can actually really see everything coming together which has really got me excited (well while ignoring the bugs). The single player progression base is pretty much complete. There is still a lot I need to do but once I'm just cleaning things up that's a really good path to be on. Before the release I would really like to have the multiplayer ready for everyone so I'm working hard to have the game ready for the end of year. I know when I release it everything will not be perfect but if I can get just enough working I still think it could be really fun and I could expand it if people start really enjoying it. Thanks for reading! Glaikunt

Hi, I wish this was an update saying I'm near to finishing Emplacement but sadly for loads of different little reasons I haven't made as much progress as I had wished for. I've been considering early access but making it really cheap then just slowly adding features I want in. I would rather avoid that though. Anyway ignoring the above. I have made a decent amount of progress considering. I have implemented better progression into the game, unlocks, and upgrades. I need to still implemented feature to avoid the feel of wasting the players time but it's been easier said than done atm. Steam Strategy Fest starts soon! Which is really exciting, disappointed I wasn't able to update the demo with some of the above but... it is what it is! I will have more content soon! Thanks to everyone who has been wish listing and keeping an eye out, really appreciate it. Thanks for reading! Glaikunt

Hi Glaipodders! We've got our first steam fest!
Going to do our first developer live stream. The plan for the stream will be to play through the current version of the demo. I will also be talking about the future plans for Emplacement and the improvements I want to make for the release. Will be great if you can join! Date: April 25th - 8pm BST twitter: @Glaikunt reddit: @Glaigron discord: discord.gg/aQdVDsC8kc Cheers, Glaikunt

Hi Glaibirds, I've been working hard trying to make Emplacement the best I can possibly make it. Sadly the release has been pushed back till later in the year but it should hopefully make the game a lot better in the end. I've added 5 more levels & tried to make the gameplay a bit more user friendly after watching a few people play-through. Hopefully this feels a lot better and is a bit more engaging! Let me know your thoughts, if you like the changes or still waiting on changes! Thanks so much to everyone who has played so far, the response has been great and I'm really excited to see what the future brings with Emplacement. twitter: @Glaikunt reddit: @Glaigron discord: discord.gg/aQdVDsC8kc Cheers, Glaikunt

Hi Glaipoders, The demo has now been available for a couple of days now. The response so far has been amazing. Thanks so much for giving Emplacement a chance and I hope I can create something that you'll enjoy even more by June! I'm working on a lot for June, some of the big things to look forward to:

• Moar Levels
• Army Select
• Survival Mode
• PvP (This might be custom games at first and ranked mode will come later)
• Support Steamdeck

Hi Glaipors, It's a bit of a delayed updated but I've been on a bit of an emtional roller-coaster with the development side. I found a few bugs that worried me for a bit and I am annoyingly late with the demo. BUT! I made it out the other end. It's just about done! Need a end screen for the demo. I have made loads of change which I was going to list here but... it's too many. I added more sound effects for units and fixed some of the sound bugs that I didn't get around to before. I also added a new game mode. I think it's looking really good. I'm excited for people to try the demo and hope they love it as much as I do. If you're wanting to see more updates follow me on Twitter if you are wanting real time updates @Glaikunt Thanks for reading! Glaikunt

Hi Glaipors, Still busy at it trying to get a demo ready for everyone!

• Implemented volume control for music, sfx, and master control
• Game progress is now saved as well. There was lots of little bits
• Stats now show after game
• Tidying up menus
• Adding placeholder sfx sounds which has made a massive difference imo

Hi! Created first tutorial levels! I think they effectly show the player the rules of the but not fully hand holding. Hoping I've found that right balance. Working on more levels just now but coming up with more ideas at the moment for single player. Have lots of ideas but only have a limited amount of time! Think I'm going to try and have a demo by the end of the month so keep your eyes out for that! Thanks for reading, Glaikunt
