Another ship plan. I've added some engine tiles too. I'm imagining boarding missions as one use for these ship plans in a future #starcadre game, but there are other ideas too. #cga

Chairs are minor obstacles randomly distributed around the location. It takes an extra action point to step over them. Chairs are never placed in corridors. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Today I'm playing with starship designs for a possible future #starcadre game #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Walls surround the mission level and separate rooms and corridors from one another. They are impassable and block line of sight. Occasionally a large room will have a single pillar which is tactically useful. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Most of the location is open floor. Units can move and see across this without obstruction, at a cost of 2 action points (or 3 action points on the diagonal). http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Star Cadre's mission locations are modelled on typical minimalist sci-fi bases. There's a single entrance/exit, and various rooms and corridors are linked by automatic doors. The layout is different each time you play. Explore more at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
The score table contains an entry for each mission type at each difficulty level, to encourage you to play them all, Download the game from http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class and give it a try! #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
For a Gathering mission you need to stick around a bit longer and find as many data cards as you can. You're scored on the number found and time taken, so you must decide when to stop looking. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Due to health issues playing up, there won't be a stream tonight. But instead, you can watch this video review of Star Cadre: Combat Class by Sparcie on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4yi7UmLtas&lc=UgydDsHhPcFqykIBoJh4AaABAg.AEFfkq5igxXAEFqtNWpuwk #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
In a Retrieval mission you have to find the very important macguffin and get out with it in your possession. It may be in a cabinet or it might be carried by an enemy. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Rescue missions are subtly different. With multiple hostages to find, some of whom have useful skills, you can recruit the hostages themselves to help. You also score per hostage freed. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Today I'm releasing the source code for Star Cadre: Combat Class. You can check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/cyningstan/sccc #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
The Hostage mission has a clear focus: find the named individual and get them out alive. Hostages need to be cut free; if your team doesn't have a blade you'll need to find one. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
If you like games where you kill everything that moves, the Annihilation mission is for you. Hunt them all down, and leave none alive! In this mission, every kill contributes to your score. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
In an Assassination mission, your team must find the named individual and kill them. Rendering them unconscious is not enough: they must be dead. Other kills don't count towards your mission score. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
The first Sunday night stream of the year is starting! Tonight I'll start a full playthrough of Star Cadre: Combat Class. Let's see if I can log a score for all six missions, starting at Easy level. Join me at https://twitch.tv/cyningstan #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Star Cadre: Combat Class offers a choice of six different missions to play. You can get the game and try them out at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
A few days back, @tondagossa played Star Cadre: Combat Class on stream. You can watch at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2340989499?t=09h26m46s (and follow Tonda, the most wholesome man on Twitch). #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
The mission's not going so well... I'm still playing Star Cadre: Combat Class regularly. Hard mode is still a challenge, as you can see. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
@untitledgamestudios My current stalled project is a roguelike that turned out way too slow to be playable on an original #ibmpc (it takes 1 second per move). My current paths to completion are (i) continue trying to streamline it without compromising gameplay, and (ii) convert it to a multi-character squad combat dungeon crawler, which #starcadre proves will run well on the target hardware. For the time being, I've sidelined it to concentrate on some simpler projects.
