Northgard Released!

[Nicolas Cannasse]

Hi,

Today our team at ShiroGames have released our new Haxe game on Steam!

Northgard is entirely written in Haxe, using the Heaps engine and the
HashLink runtime.

You can look at it there, hope you like it!

Best,
Nicolas

This game looks amazing!

Just bought my copy on steam and I will start playing it in a few minutes.

It would be nice to have an article about how this game was made, how Haxe and HashLink worked out for your team.

Reasons why to use Haxe, Heaps and HashLink instead of other things (yeah, you created it, but other indie devs might wonder the pros and cons).

Anyways, I got 3 coworkers really excited about tuhe game.

Unfortunately 2 of them are MacOS users and will have to wait a little more.

I wish you good luck and success.

Keep up the good work because I need to play it agains my friends!

Really on point UI style and art style in terms of what the market would be interested. Wish you the best of luck in hitting evangilization and marketing nirvana. Your and the teams work and independent path (a la custom engine, not Unity) is very admirable and quite incredible. 

The engine and mechanical quality of the UI looks really on point. I hope you can hit a sweet spot in terms of engaging and repeatable multiplayer mechanic with your engine.

According to Steam there are 1k players playing it right now!

I'm a bit biased when it comes to compare Haxe with other techs but yes
I'm planning to write some tech article explaining our workflow and
results (when things have settled a bit).

Best,
Nicolas

Is it going to be on Mac as well? I just (sadly) had to move over ...

Is there a chinese version?

[Porfírio Ribeiro]

The game looks great, i really enjoy this kind of games, will you release a Linux version?
Is there any big limitations about it to run other place than windows?

[Vincent Blanchet]

Nice work!
And yes a linux version could be great :)

Hey Nicolas, awesome work!
Would you recommend to use the HashLink runtime instead of hxcpp?
I wonder if the "Mark-and-not-sweep Garbage Collector" implemented with HashLink gave you better performance than the hxcpp GC.

The game is very cool! Even the Yogscast featured it in one of their game videos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrwPsNadkvc

That depends on your goal. Our primary focus was to get a quick
compile-and-test workflow while keeping quite good performances.
HashLink is a good balance for this, but you should keep HxCPP for
higher performances.

Right now the HashLink GC is slower than HxCPP, will continue to work on
it in the future.

Nicolas

Hi,

congratulations for Northgard, the game looks awesome!

Any plans on making HashLink work on Linux? Is it possible to manage multiple windows with HashLink?

It should work on Linux although we didn't have much time to do testing
for now.

Yes, the SDL API makes it possible, although I haven't played with it yet.

Nicolas

I love the game! Although, I can only play it from a VM, which is not too efficient. Do you have any plans about native Linux or macOS support? HashLink is platform-independent, isn't it?

Thank you, and keep up the good work!

The  great  game
