Greenwood War: Official Topic

You have to kill all of the oil drops in level one to beat it. This will make more sense when we add the cutscene (which might also be why it’s freezing)

The discussion revolves around the development and release of Greenwood War , a game where players control Aquifer, a water droplet, to defend golden pinecones from oil drops. The game, created by a team including Relic and EugeneRedwing8, is in its alpha phase, with gameplay involving pinecone throwing and movement using keyboard controls. The team has shared development updates, including new characters like Diesel, a rival to Aquifer, and plans for future chapters. A trailer was released, praised for its story and music. The game’s release date for Chapter 1 was initially delayed to October 30th, 2025, and the game was officially launched with a link provided. Players have expressed excitement, though some noted the game’s difficulty and minor technical issues like a missing resume button. The community is actively engaged, with polls and feedback on gameplay progress. Relic, EugeneRedwing8, and AgentBoom are key contributors and participants in the discussion. not anymore

Hey @MakeCode is there a way to change the simulator color in a GitHub link? Greenwood War’s simulator color looks like this in the editor:

but normal turquoise and gray in GitHub. Any way to use pxt.json or index.html, or something in GitHub to change the color?

Hmm that looks like a minor bug in our github integration we’ll want to fix so it propagates theme; in meantime i believe it should work if you set the theme explicitly here: greenwood-war/assets/js/loader.js at master · relicrore/greenwood-war (also note this so that we don’t override it back when you update game greenwood-war/assets/js/custom.js at master · relicrore/greenwood-war). Doing so would look basically just be copying the section you have in pxt.json for it (that is, lines 60-63 would be replaced with

            options: {
                “theme”: {
                    “background-color”: “#00DDDD”,
                    “button-stroke”: “#00CCCC”,
                    “text-color”: “#FFFFFF”,
                    “button-fill”: “#00AAAA”,
                    “dpad-fill”: “#00AAAA”
                },
                "player": ""
            },

below this line greenwood-war/pxt.json at master · relicrore/greenwood-war (and above dependencies, order doesn’t matter but which {} it is nested in does)
add

"disableTargetTemplateFiles": true,

(remember the comma after it)

Could you please add checkpoints???

2 Likes
171

The reason we haven’t added checkpoints is because we think it’d make the game too easy. We want it to be challenging enough, but yeah, it’s kinda too hard rn so we’re reducing the number of hazards in the levels and giving you more health.

172

where is the link to play it? could you send another one pls?

173

The whole game is meant to be hard. If you’re not aware, in each level, there should be a vapor pack sitting around. Once you find it, you’ll gain health. Adding the vapor pack already made it quite easy, and checkpoints would make it even easier, which is not what we intend. We are making a game that’s designed to be so hard, even some of our developers are having a hard time beating the levels.

What’s good ya Aquifers! It’s been a while since I’ve visited the forums, so I may have left a lot of people hanging. If you have questions or complaints, make sure to let me know. If not, you can ask @EugeneRedwing8 or @BarrierCo

Hey guys, what would you rate the difficulty level of this game?

DIFFICULTY
  • Way too easy, my cat could beat this.
  • Easy enough, should be harder.
  • Medium, took a little while.
  • Hard but in a fun way.
  • Too difficult, it wasn’t fun.
  • I quit after the title screen.

Just for some feedback on Chapter 1 so we can apply it in Chapter 2. PLEASE BE HONEST!
