Mini Wesgame Released at itch.io -- browser-based tactics game

Post by belre-yucho »

Hi, I developed Mini Wesgame - a browser-based hex tactics game inspired by Battle for Wesnoth, playable right in your mobile browser! 📲
I tested it locally at a Moto G05, a low-spec smartphone, and it runs smoothly.

https://belre-yucho.itch.io/mini-wesnoth

It's an unofficial, non-commercial fan project (not affiliated with the Wesnoth project) - built as a lightweight standalone game rather than an add-on.
Feedback welcome!

Source code (original, built from scratch):
https://github.com/belre/mini-wesgame

Sprite assets are from the Battle for Wesnoth project (GPL v2+ / CC BY-SA 4.0), kept separate from the code and published here:

Do you plan in future to use all 6 default factions? Im just curious about weapon specials and abilities. Do they work as in Wesnoth or not?

Thanks for the comment!
I want to keep this project separate from Wesnoth project out of respect for the original.
I have some plans for the next scheduled game:

- Including one or two full campaigns.
- Or, including all six factions for CPU or 2-player PvP.

"Mini-Wesnoth" is mainly meant to promote Wesnoth, so it won't be scaled up to that level.
