GDC 2015: War Friends with Peter from Boat Fun Games

How's it going? It's great to see you here at GDC 2015, folks! I'm more weird, and I'm excited to be checking out some of the latest games with my friend Peter from Boat Fun Games. Let's get started!

First off, let me show you what we have here. We've got a few cars to choose from before we begin our gameplay experience. The core of this game is all about shooting your friends – it's a quarterly game, to be exact. And by that, I mean you can use different weapons and army needs to take down your opponents. It sounds like a fun and competitive experience!

Okay, so let me start using these units... seconds Tom Thomas is our opponent today, and he's on the opposite side of the field. I'll just go ahead and shoot for him. As we play, you can see that there are four shields on both sides of the field – they're great for taking cover from incoming attacks. You can also swipe left or right to move to different positions and avoid getting hit.

Now, let me show you some of the units we have available. These guys have weaknesses and advantages, so it's essential to know how to use them effectively in battle. Children are coming at us right now – Tom is using his builder to create turrets that will attack us. But I've got a rocket launcher that can take him down quickly! It's real-time multiplayer action, folks!

Wait, what are the rules again? Let me check... it seems like we're competing against each other to kill the most remote supporting troops. We have two and a half minutes to go – if neither of us is able to take each other out before that time runs out, we'll be going head-to-head with no shields in sight. It's going to be a tough battle!

Oh man, I'm feeling a bit drained right now... I need to take down Tom's units first and then gain some energy before I can keep fighting. But look – there's a drone coming our way! Wilson is providing some much-needed backup for me, and it looks like it's going to be a close match.

Whoa, so close! I managed to destroy the culture unit, but it was a tough fight. Okay, now it's my turn again... I've got my rocket launcher, and Tom is using his engineer to create more turrets. But I'm not afraid – I'll just use this guy in Bootstrap to take him down.

One of the things that caught my attention during gameplay was how different units have bonus effects when used in specific situations. For example, the Booster can give us a huge boost in energy when used correctly. It's one of these game-changing features that can turn the tide of battle in our favor!

But enough about that – it's time to show off some other exciting aspects of War Friends! What we're really looking forward to is the release of this free-to-play game on iOS, along with the promise of a cross-platform experience for all players. It's going to be an amazing way to connect with friends and compete in battles like never before!

And speaking of releases, it seems like Lanceet is coming out soon – yeah, that's right; summer 2014 is just around the corner! But don't worry, we've got more updates on what you can expect from this game. For now, let's just say that the campaign mode is going to be a blast with friends by your side. You'll get to play through different locations, defend yourself against enemy forces, and even take down bosses like never before!

Now, let me show you how to participate in the cup game – it looks pretty straightforward! Just move around on the screen, avoid getting hit, and try to eliminate as many opponents as possible within the 90-second time limit. Sounds simple enough? That's because it is! But trust us when we say that this game will challenge your skills in no way!

But let me ask you – have you ever played a game like War Friends before? It seems like an amazing combination of strategy, skill, and good old-fashioned friendly competition. If so, then you'll definitely be on the right track with this one! And for those who are new to it, don't worry – we've got plenty of tips and tricks up our sleeves to help you get started!

So there you have it, folks! War Friends is an exhilarating game that's sure to bring out the best in all players. Whether you're looking for a competitive multiplayer experience or just want to challenge yourself with some fun mini-games, this game has something for everyone!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eneverybody this is Simon stage from I more weird GDC 2015 checking out war friends with Peter from the boat fun games how's it going Peter are you doing all right now you'll read all right okay so let me show you the more friends I will choose a few cars from here before available I got invite from Tom play against him that's fine so the core of this game is about shooting your friends right yeah the quarterly game is to shoot your friends by any means I mean you can use of course you're different weapons as well as your army needs so I will start using this units seconds Tom Thomas an opposite side of the field okay just go ahead shot for me so basic side you can you have these four shields on both sides with a better field you swipe left or right move to different cover these shields the last driver these have the hell bar so when they are destroyed you have to change the cover by Devon replication time so apart from the weapons you have this units each of these units get his weaknesses an advantageous for example children's are coming from me right now okay I can see there in a builder is the engineer that sent Tom this engineer is building the turrets which will then you know go against me okay one is I will destroy him by rocket launcher yeah and I will lend headshot to everyone this is real-time multiplayer right wait we've got your colleague over here playing same time what are the one criteria here I mean did yes take him out is it just whoever kills the most remote supporting troops how's that work yeah the only goal is to kill doubles player there you have two and a half minutes to Tacoma awesome player but one when you won't be able to kill each other the overtime will stars which is a part of game but all the shields would disappear and you just go head-to-head against each other okay let me let me destroy his ok i will try to destroy this car you got a lot to deal with here ok yeah goodbye okay all right you know

me oh I miss him so close this guy's okay and it is over time so it's something I have to fill up Oh delight okay oh you just destroyed the culture this seems like a back ok I will destroy him oh my rocket launcher it is so the other important thing of the game is these work I urge that you know we didn't play much of them but they can change the dialogue about when you played so I just guy in bootstrap which is one of the more interesting ones what we shared with Rev so for example booby trap is sorry is one of your prayers or we will grab does mean one when Tom will shoot is you will get add image because the great contains bonus exposed to the time but when you play this car it could contain this negative thing you have the customer needs so you will instantly road for grenades at the middle field for example I get freezing him for five seconds which when I play it in the right time when we use it without a shield I can then shoot him enlarge and hats and much more cards we're looking at a few free to play game right yeah right lancet coming out and the summer 2014 pretty soon yeah pretty soon what is really another end of thing as i would like to show is the campaign mode there's not only this that much harm as a player but i can promote it could be applied and comfortable it with your friends so you can play you know together against the board of enemies are different locations like like defend yourself for some time or destroy certain amount of peon aids or you can even play against boss I mean killing the guy okay I get another invitation for cooperation okay so we'll play the cup game right now so this is me and this is Tom here we're just changing position in this moment and this is why these one of the first missions so you can see there you know units going against us and we have to survive for 90 seconds at say it was like scaling difficulties services yeah yeah when you play with the with your friend the units are stronger and there is more of them as I said this is I think fifth or four missions so it's really really easy start and you know we are professional soon sure that's a war coming out on iOS are you looking at android other platforms yeah I mean I just when we are focusing on iOS but s would make our picks we have really is the elevation I think of a few months after the iOS version so we aim the same and we would like to have the cross platform of the players so don't every fighter skimp like a xios one's looking forward to Peter thanks a lot thank you youeverybody this is Simon stage from I more weird GDC 2015
