It's #PitchYaGame time! Spies & Soldiers is a turn-based game of strategy and subterfuge that features: 📜 Procedurally generated maps. 🛡 Simple mechanics, deep strategy. ⚔️ Asynchronous multiplayer. ⏰ Simultaneous turns. Download the demo + wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1094450/...

Holy shit???? Less than 24 hours and we have already received a mind-blowing amount of nominations🎉🏆 We set this up because it can be tough getting your game out there on a small budget. It's been wonderful seeing you all tag your favourite indies and encourage each other, let's keep it going!💙

Dev Update - Neutral Factions! Maps now have a chance of including a castle controlled by a Neutral Faction. These soldiers don't attack, but will defend their home if besieged. They are led by a Captain with a random boon, such as moving cheaply through mountains, or a combat bonus in castles...

Twitter has felt like a howling abyss for a long time now, so it's exciting to be joining the growing exodus to bluesky!
