Speaking of which, how come you didn't use any of the old art from those anyway? I understand not all of it could be adapted to the much smaller window, and your design is at times different, but some of that shit was great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJh47LybCkU

Seems interesting, if not as custom as I'd like.

main criticism right now: the font on the chapter creation stuff is hard to read

miller go to bed

Most chapters are not selectable.

Intro text:
>Humany is beset
Should be "Humanity"
Also I think "Astronomican" should be "Astronomicon" in case that's an intentional fuckup in your misguided and laughable attempt to dodge copyright by making things "parody".
Similarly, "Space Marion" should probably be "Space Marine".

And I haven't even gotten to chapter creation yet.

I've been pointed at Batat, the previous UI artist for the last Chapter Master project. We will be discussing what can be done.

>>33997414
Yeah, UI is terrible. I am suck at UI. That will all be removed for Beta.

Implying anything with the Canadian flag doesn't have 100% cooperation

>I came

Fuck you anon its 5am and I really should be in bed.

>>33997399
Took me some time to notice the Custom option, so you could do with some help on the interface clarity front. The buttons should be more obvious as well; it feels weird just clicking normal on-screen text.

And what the fuck is up with the icons?

You should be more clear about what having -X/10 points spent means too. It seems to increase the lower I set the bars.

>>33997414
Not the font's fault, the text rendering is shit.

>>33997486
I'd keep a note file open and email it to the guy after you've found more, maybe? It's gonna be a nightmare in this thread.

I'm excited as fuck.

>>33997487
>a straight doujin
What is this doujin you speak of?

>>33997432
Not all chapters are done.

>>33997486
Noted.

>>33997509
Those are your points to spend. UI will be replaced.

>>33997206

I'm not able to select any existing chapters?

The only options I can select besides random and custom are BA

>drag the window bigger
>everything just gets blurry, even text which should presumably be dynamically rendered
Christ. If you're not going to support window resizing, disable it.

>>33997597
a long-standing joke, that may just become reality

>>33997637
I'm having trouble selecting chapter aspects. Nothing seems to be responding to mouseclicks.

Some of this font is impossible to read. This dark green on black doesn't work too well with Courier New, or whatever this fontface is. If you could somehow highlight the text, it would be nice.

>arrow from starcraft

Good taste

I recognize the music as well, but can't remember from where

Shit.

I accidentally killed some guard vessels.

WELP, chapter was doomed anyways

>>33997662
I'll try to fix that with the next update.

>>33997656
did you make sure to select custom chapter first?

I'm liking the Russian chorus in the background.

>>33997629
Blood Angels are selectable.

>>33997662
Problem is the gradient on the smaller text. If that weren't there it would be more legible

>>33997206

>mfw it's actually pretty good

nice work OP keep it up

>>33997682
So, notice how I have a chief Librarian in >>33997662? The previous screen told me I was forbidden to have Librarians. How does that work? And why was I forbidden to have them when I didn't pick the psyker-hating disadvantage? That could be a little clearer.

You do the God-Emperor's work, son.

>>33997684
Ah, I see. Thanks!
I assume the canon chapters are unavailable at the moment?

> tfw you finally get to play your shitty death-metal-album-cover homebrew chapter

>>33997723
>no select all button when you want to load people onto ships

>>33997738
I forgot to remove the Chief Librarian if you take that disadvantage. Will be fixed eventually.

>>33997753
There is. Hit the bottom right where it says "Selection Size".

>>33997682
Size is a substantial part of the problem. That said, there's a reason the old DOS computers that used green on black went with "limegreen" rather than the "green" you're using.

>mfw there's actual space combat with animations and shit

O-oh my

It's actually cool as shit

IT'S REAL

>>33997778
I am terrible with art and UI. The biggest thing holding back Chapter Master right now is the interface and lack of space to add more buttons and features. This will probably be one of the first things I change. It will be rebuilt with a higher resolution, better fonts, and larger window.

>>33997765
Request for next version: ability to edit starting stats of randomly generated chapters. Some of them I would play if I were able to change the emblem/homeworld status

Last chapter creation screen.

Really, it's quite in-depth and interesting, though a bit more explanation of how weapon choices will effect your chapter would help in deciding what to pick. Very good start.

>>33997751
nah, a couple are in. Ultramaroons, Blood Angels. Salamanders too I think.

Will Chaos forces or a pre-heresy scenario be available?

I Agree Duke. I whole-Heartily Agree.

How do you move fleets/go to planets for recruiting without raiding them?

Got this when I tried to make a chapter. Reasons for this happening?
Blood angels works fine.

Based duke btw. This seems amazing.

I'm trying to make a custom chapter but the game won't allow me to press the next button. My points are at the 10/10 maximum, and I chose some advantages and disadvantages.

Man

This is way more advanced than I ever expected he'd make it, it's fucking awesome

>>33997206

HOLY SHIT ITS REAL

PRAISE THE DUKE AND STRIKE DOWN HIS FOES

Question on the weapon preference choices:
Will those be limited based on chapter creation choises? Like if you don't pick the advantages that give better starting gear or better ties with mechanicus you can't get the best stuff? And the chapters with tech heresy or poor starting gear might not even get the average stuff?

>>33998035
What disadvantages and advantages?

>>33998032
Looking into it.

>>33997765
Will you also remove the Librarium?

Some more mouse-over popup boxes for the icons on the top would be great too. The Battle Income one is useful, but I'd like to know what the Skull icon is. Loyalty/Purity?

>>33998056
Btw Duke, are we really doing the IRC, I'm on, but no one else is.

>>33998049
Those simply determine what weapons the game tries to assign to your troops when you promote/train them into certain roles. The starting advantages are mostly armor and spare equipment.

>>33998058
Skull is loyalty.

>>33998035
Points need to be at 0. Play around with things to try and get it to that point.

Err, really stupid question, but how do I order my fleet to move?

Also folks, note that the game IS turn-based, so if you can't move ur ships or something they've prob been used up so click next turn.

tick individual ships and move them to other places to split them off the fleet, or create splinter fleet.

Cheers!

>>33998288
Silly imperium decided that enough was enough regardless, probably because my chapter has such mutated geneseed. Fuckers has just been waiting for an excuse.

Travelling through the warp, reach my star system, get this error. It was my entire Space marine fleet, there was an imperial fleet orbiting the system, but the planets were all controlled by Orks.

Maximum overkill.

Also pentitent marines seem to always wind up having the Inquisition and Imperium hunt them the fuck down

If you have a ship with marines orbiting that star, go to management, and unload the handful of marines from the management screen.

Just for you- http://www.mediafire.com/download/jpmgak4jiushwxi/ChapterMaster.zip

>>33998619
>If you have a ship with marines orbiting that star, go to management, and unload the handful of marines from the management screen.

What if no ship comes up? Is it because I don't have any battle barges?

Far bottom right- click 'Selection Size', that selects everything able or unselects everything.

>>33998754
I totally forgot to let people construct new ships.

>>33998746
If you don't have any ships at your home-planet then you cannot load to them.

>>33998792
>I totally forgot to let people construct new ships.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I have no escorts and three battleships.

Well shit

Why not just divide the Companies into 5-man/10-man squads, and let us customize them through squads as well as load/unload as squads? It would be a lot easier.

So how do I do anything but drop pod assault?

>>33998982
I did unload them! Nothing happened, no options appeared.

>>33998996
In theory, unload marines onto occupied planet. in practice that crashes the game

>>33998962
left click the ships, then right click on the system where there are orks.

Judging by your taste in vidja games, the latter.

Because I don't think it lets you pick up artifacts with a drop pod assault.

>>33999086
Thunderhawks exist.

>>33999095
Is there a faster way to load marines onto ships other than clicking them one at a time?

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. IT IS A GLORIOUS FEELING!

Haven't had a chance to try it out myself but I spotted a typo. It's "Emperor's Nightmare" not Nightmares. You call them Nightmares if you're talking about a group of marines, but the organization isn't pluralized. Like how no one says "Raven Guards".

Nice to see /tg/ get shit done, I never lost faith.

Crash report. Tried loading up a file I just saved, and the load bar got stuck at 'Preparing' before crashing

yes, there's a button that says somethign like Selected Strength. Should go up as you select units. clicking it will select all/deselect all. note that it's a bit strange, and cna leave the last unit in the group unselected

Fighting some orks, it seems that their attack on my people isn't shown in the battle log.

Duke. Not /tg/

He shall join the ranks of other great individuals, such as LawfulNice.

Don't know if this is a bug or not, but when starting a new game and spawning in a system with a planet that has a "????", it's not automatically discovered.

>>33999323
It just means they aren't hitting you? Also, look at those dreadnaughts go.

>>33999323
If they don't have eligible targets (I.e. your dreads or vehicles are in the way) then they do not attack.

>Formations
That looks interesting...

>>33999262
Duke is /tg/.
Stop with this shit.

>>33999304
What makes a target eligible? And I shouldn't be able to cleanse an entire system with moderate to extreme ork presence on all worlds without them finding a target.

can I play this on mac somehow?

>>33999351
Some sort of feedback to let you know when this is happening and why would be a good thing to add later

>Bongistan 1 has been overrun by orks
Would that be an improvement?

>>33999361
Weapons have a few stats, among them Attack Damage and Armor Penetration. Depending on those numbers they will prioritize certain units. There's been a bug I've tried to fix several times where the Orks do not attack if your front rank is made up of vehicles.

If your front rank is made up of dreads or vehicles, and there are enough of them, they block enemy line of sight to the previous ranks.

>>33999379
Yep.

>>33999373
Killing yourself is the first step

>>33999373
Wine

>>33999359
Fuck you. /tg/ didn't put any effort into this. That's why it was a joke that everybody was sure would never happen. Duke is the one who made it and he deserves to have his pseudonym attached to it.

What exactly am I supposed to do when I discover an STC Fragment? Don't know much beyond the basics of 40k lore, isn't it part of an AI?

>>33999373
you could probably run it in a wineskin wrapper, I've just been too lazy to try.

>>33999414
Nothing yet. I need to finish that.

>>33999403
How do I know who's in the front ranks? The formation buttons don't work and there's no graphics for the battle.

>>33999414
>isn't it part of an AI?
No. An STC is just a ton of template information to be used by forge worlds (factories) to make stuff. These are a big deal because the world was way higher tech 20,000 years ago.

Pressing wasd moves the map.
That is not "any key"

Speaking of which, is there a list of hotkeys?

>>33999432
>How do I know who's in the front ranks?
You don't. For the most part your heavier units are in front and scouts and devastators in back.

Formation UI will be added later during Alpha, which should clear that up.

>>33999451
Ah, interesting.

>>33999456
>Speaking of which, is there a list of hotkeys?
Not yet. I could write one.

>>33999458
Speaking of formations, just wanted to say the space battles are really lovely, even if they are automated.

>clicking to make my ships move only works sometimes
>licks to the map screen stop registering for no reason

>>33999458
So I have lost 3 companies in my Current game but it appears my recruiting Planet is not giving me any recruits and no longer appears as a recruiting planet...

Should be displayed at the top left. If you don't see a 'YOU ARE THIS PENITENT' thing in red text then you actually aren't. To no longer be penitent you have to kill a lot of shit, or lose a lot of marines. Alternatively if you are penitent for long enough, without losing, it just gets rid of it.

Yes.

Geneseed mutation. I forget which the name, but the one where you eat shit - you can get the details if you mouseover them in custom chapter creation.

This is awesome. It's definitely flawed, which is expected for an alpha, but as it gets less bugs, more features, and gameplay/UI becomes less opaque, it's going to get awesome.

I don't know about the current build but presumably they'll give a bonus to dosh and recruits at some point if they don't already.

The game isn't meant to be perfectly balanced.

And there's also a small chance for ships to blow up, or be lost in the warp, which would suck pretty bad with your battle barge.

Hey Duke, have you considered the possibility of contacting GW through and interlocutor to discuss the possibility of licensing this and selling it on Steam? It would be a good possibility to keep open for the future.

Noted. Think I saw that same crash report earlier.

>>34000190
Yes. It really happened. I assume it was a glitch because technically my ship did survive with 21% health, but i never saw it so I assume it sounds cooler to have crashed on what quickly became a Daemon World.

I keep unloading guys on to planets to check stuff out but nothing happens. I left guys there for 5 turns and nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

Wasn't that all before they overhauled their licensing policy though? I mean, it might be bad to alert them of the project at all but it would be cool to see this take off and become an even bigger thing than it's already going to.
