0.2 Release: On the road as a reconnaissance unit


Hi all!

The first major update of Road to Glory is out now. This update contains more levels, vehicles and a new gameplay concept:

"Survive the decisive battles of World War II as a German reconnaissance unit. Spot targets for artillery and take out objectives while avoiding powerful enemy armor which roams the battlefield."

This releases changes the gameplay from quite straight forward tank combat to fulfilling the role of a reconnaissance unit. Moving around and observing the battlefield is key, while it's best to avoid direct combat.


The current set of levels ranges from the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 to the battle of Stalingrad in late 1942. In future releases I hope to include more levels from different theaters.


To be able to create a large amount of levels I had to change the way I create them. Previously each level required a lot of manual work: creating a terrain, adding details, determining what units spawn where etc. With my new approach I can generate a terrain, procedurally fill it with details and tweak spawn locations if needed. I'll be improving this approach so that each level feels unique and alive.

You can download Road to Glory for free. Try it out and let me know what you think!
