Hello there!
It's been 2.5 months since the release of "When I was young" and we are happy that during this time we have new reviews, and bugs, on the contrary, have disappeared!
Meanwhile, our team started working on a new game:
This project is a digitalization of the card wargame from the indie board game developer Loki in the setting of the alternative and post-apocalyptic Vietnam War ːRedStarː
US Marines and Vietnam partisans, welcome to Rock'n'roll: Card Wargame - a card wargame with interesting game mechanics and a unique visual style that will send you on a crazy alternative-historical trip through the chemical-drenched jungles of the Vietnam war. Take on the role of a commander of Vietnamese guerrillas or US armed forces and show your opponents what you're made of!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1423260/RocknRoll_Card_Wargame/
Features:

28 different cards: 12 units and 16 orders will make each game session in Rock'n'roll: Card Wargame unique and catchy.
Exciting mechanics of capturing strategic points on the battlefield, which is rarely seen in card games.
Each win will bring you points, which can be used to purchase customized items that allow you to collect a unique game set from the deck, dice, and playing field.
Author's graphics in the modern comics style, transmitting the unique setting of the game.
Rock and roll soundtrack that complements the game atmosphere.
25 achievements to achieve which you will need to show perseverance and ingenuity.
After each battle, your units will get experience, and over time you will be able to improve them into real hardened veterans.
In between online battles, you can try 2 story campaigns, both of which will tell a fascinating story of the conflict from different sides.
For already experienced players there also will be multiplayer modes: 1 vs 2, 2 vs 2.
So add the game to your wishlist and subscribe to news (Early Access release is scheduled for Q1 2021). See you in this damned jungle, commander!
