Working on a early version of the destructible enviroment.

Each "enviroment" would have a type and armor.
If the gun / damage dont deal more damage then the armor, it wont break.
Though still debating if the armor should be able to be shoot off and then things can still be destroyed. 

inspired by Starship Troopers, Helldivers 2 and Roman legions.

This will primary be used as a weekly recap of changes.

TheCrudeForge:
Relative new to gamedevelopment and have only been playing around with it around 6 months from today. (13-01-26). Planning on investing 2026 into primary making 1 game and see where there takes me. But taking some breaks in between to be in gamejams and praticing making arts. I would say most of my games then to be a bit more on the weird side of things, and i like to use physics for ... everything.

About me:
Born 1982 Got no experience in the game making industry at all, i work as a technical designer and make machines in 3D and 2D.  And use gamedev. as a way to train my creative things, outside my work enviroment.

Note: The below is a starting point for the game, things will most likely change over time.

Game engine: Construct 3
Graphics: ArtRage 5 / Assets
Days spend on the project: 1
https://thecrudeforge.itch.io/legio-ii 

Version: 0.0.0.1  (Short description, read the full devlog for more info)

Basic destruction system created.

LEGIO II 
You begin your journey as a rookie recruit in the elite Legio II, deployed to a dangerous alien planet with the mission to conquer and secure it for humanity.

Starting with only basic equipment and minimal training, you must first prove yourself in a rigorous training camp before facing the brutal alien frontlines. The core progression system revolves around earning Valor points by defeating enemies, saving fellow legionaries, and completing objectives. Valor points increase your rank and unlock access to better equipment, more powerful weaponry, and, eventually, leadership over your own squad and customizable combat mechs. However, reckless actions such as friendly fire or failing key objectives will reduce your Valor points and could see you demoted.

Gameplay emphasizes realism: weapons have weight and recoil, every bullet interacts physically with the environment and characters, and reloading and resupplying are vital for survival. The battlefield is fully destructible, with both the environment and structures reacting to the chaos of war. Alien enemies are relentless and intelligent, utilizing group tactics and regularly forcing you and your squad to adapt. As you climb the legion’s ranks, you move from rookie to commander, shaping the tide of battle through disciplined tactics, valor, and command decisions.

LEGIO II delivers a unique blend of historical discipline and science fiction warfare, focusing on slow, strategic play, physical realism, and squad-based survival in a hostile alien world.

Bottom right one, pull that screw and then the panel. :) 

there are 3 endings possible.

all alive
1-2 dead
all dead

dont worry about it :) I just refrain from keep writing since it is not my game.

Thanks for playing.

Value your insight, some would prob make more sense if people went into the stage page and actually read it :) though it seems like 0 players have done so, which i find funny. hehe Dunno about the features and gameplay, to me it seems like a tamagotchi. 

Take care of a infant that is able to do much, make sure it is fed or otherwise taken care off.
Take care of a teenager or similar, prepare them to the life ahead of them with training
- let them battle life mostly on their own.

But there is a "virus" in the game soooo yeah kinda the whole point of it, that things are suppose to be offsetting or otherwise difficult.

All the blood is there intentionally :)

dont personally understand why player would not check the screws in the end of the game, when they are explicit being taught they can be used in the beginning. 

All that said, i do agree with some of the your points, and would consider a more cohesive game if i ever were to make a tagagotchi game again.

Im not the creator of the game.
But in generel firefox cannot run construct 3 games very well, it will get very laggy due to the engine itself and how firefox handles graphics.

Thank for playing.
And the very detailed comments i appriciate the effort.  

Will take note on content warning, guess im just assumming gamejammers are all old enough to handle things like that. Did not think too much of it. 

Glad to hear and read that you seemed to figure out most of the mechanics the game have to offer, were made so it could be completed without dealing with the buff+debuff there also are in the game.  (listed in the stats page) and you did not let that Xlander virus corrupt them.

Slicing oranges grants more more damage.
They gain less training for each orange they throw.
Using consumables gives less damage.
Getting stuck makes them slower.
Weapons rotate faster the more they workout.

thank for playing. 

That evil xlander really messed up the game with his virus - never buy from XlanderGames.fake. ;)

Thanks for playing :)
Yeah, always that balance to find (is it too little or too much) especially for jams. 

But im glad to hear you wanted more. 

wow that is SO weird, not you stugling to put a battery in, but if the rest if it isnt edited and its just skipping ahead like that.
Cannot reproduce that on my end. Then i understand what things felt a little disconnected for you. 

But yeah, every stage is suppose to last 45 seconds, precisely

strange - it is in a fixed state to last 45 seconds.
If you unstuck them they will not throw one, but you can permanent stuck them by putting them inside the middle of the tree trunk (by design)

Thanks for playing.

The stats menu explaines things: 
First stage when they throw a orange and you cut it, they will deal more damage. If you fail to cut the orange they deal less damage. Also stats for how many times they get stuck, how often you un-stuck them and if you use any of the consumables. (but all that wasent required for completing the game) i just made it for the curious souls that explored the game enough.

Training, if they did not get stuck too often, will make them rotate their guns faster. 

Orange/blood splatter is intentional made to obscure the screen - it is suppose to be obnoxious to the player. 

No waves progression other then they spawn more and more each second. After 45 seconds it will spawn big mushrooms that 100% will kill you if you do not remove the virus. 

Concept was that when the virus was gone, you would go back and play the entire game, including the missing stages as a actual cute game. Just never got around to putting that much into it.

Appriciate the suggestions

Definitely feels like a little device someone find in a attic or something, all dusted etc. but surprisingly still functional. 

Got plenty of good mini games, that fits with the tamagotchi theme. 
: Some felt difficult, like the sheep jump. could not really make out what was dangerous and what was not. Did not feel like i could jump over the "fences" but could be a skill issue from me. 

Sam voice :D yay!

You done good with the limited time you had.

Thank for playing.

Yeah had planned on the "virus" part to be done relative quickly and loop so you could play the entire game where it was all cute and sweet.
-but never got around to it. 

Thank for playing "TinyTotchi" 
And the kind words, though i dont think many will get what and why various things do something without looking in the stats menu :D 
Or get stuck with not fixing the virus problem in the end.. those pesky screws.

hint- drag a screw.

did not really understand how you were suppose to train or anything.
combat art loooked very off compared to the rest.

Music was cute.

I did it - the lazy king conquered earth and have ample apples in supply.

Difficulty scaling could need a tuning, got very .. VERY easy after having 4 tower.

But the UI etc. does what it is suppose to and i played it to the end. 

Seems like a made a boring "planet"

I dont know what i created ... but it looks really sticky.

good fun little mini games, keep up the QTE from last time and overall well rounded game from all rounds.

:) would have been really fun if there were a endless mode.

Game did as intended and got relative easy to beat when hitting 5 minions.

Liked the simple sounds and ambience, and goofy hand drawings.

Guess im not a good pet raiser.

Was a little unclear when it needed stuff.
Working as a beggar with the hat, felt punishing, since its impossible to go from one side to the other and catch the coins. 

But the music and your, per usual, very unique graphics style was top-notch.

Not much to say, it all worked as intended - now make MORE GAME

Training game felt very difficult.
Overall a good polished game with a lot of features etc. 

Did not understand the combat, what was going on? - it felt very random and out of place from everything else.
More specific the mechanic in the middle, it would have benefitted from a bit of explanantion.

Keeps you locked in a playing just to get the next and the next .. and just one more.

But it is a lot of games to manage, feels a little too stressing then a relaxing game. 

overall well done, you will definitely be in the top. 

Did not understand the dying part, the stats does not seem to carry over to the next character or maybe i missed something. 

Never got past the spider.

I like you went with a little device you play on, though both buttons scroll down insted of one of them going up, felt a little odd. 

But i did like the concept.

Sadly renaming it does not work. But i got a cool wolf, with a lame name.

Definitely a different take on the tamagotchi, would have like a bit more focus on the pet and tending to it other then it just grows after battles. But it does what it is suppose to. 

Graphics is definitely making it feel real good despite the lack of deeper gameplay.

Did not understand the purpose of the blue button, was relative difficult to find the right key to get out of that again.

Otherwise it looks cool, and feels good to seemingly take care of the liquid/gas cat.

Thank for playing "TinyTotchi"

Ohh yeah, there was a lot of fun little things to figure out in "There is no game" :D i tried that. 
- Hope you save all the TinyTotchi from the "EVIL" xlander virus.

Hey.
Played the game at 2x in the beginning then 60x none of the stats changed at all, had to restart the game before all the alarms when off, dunno - hope its only me it happens to :D 

Really struggled figuring out what does what and why i should be doing it, but the little robot evolutions are quite cute, and the music suit the theme overall. 

Would prob. have made a 1 time tutorial that explains what you should be doing when it feels something for the first time, but guessing this is the tamagotchi part where you just gotta figure things out. 

Thank you for playing "TinyTotchi"

Wonder if you removed the "virus" and saved them all? :)

Hello:
Kindly note, this game is not finished yet and have no ending yet.

https://thecrudeforge.itch.io/tinytotchi

Feedback that i am requesting is the following:

Was the game fun to play?
Was there a clear path of progression?
How good was the audio and sounds FX?
How well implemented was the UI?
Did the game include the core mechanics from the original? 

Meet your three adorable little rascals: "Owl," "Pink," and "Boy"! These charming characters are full of personality and need your help to keep their spirits high with food, fun, and a little energy boost. Don't forget to tuck them in at night, or you might find yourself facing their cranky side!

DONT play this on FIREFOX - construct 3 and firefox is not good friends, you could experience severe lag issues.
