[/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][h3] A word From Alon Kaplan co-founder of Moduwar: [/h3][p]
Moduwar is Released on Steam![/p][p]I can’t believe this day has finally come.[/p][p]Right now, I’m going through the full spectrum of emotions, and it’s hard to put into words what’s in my heart — but I’ll try:[/p][p]As a kid, I taught myself how to code and used to make little games for fun (alongside my love for music, of course).[/p][p]Later on, I became a full-blown gamer, spending countless hours with strategy games like Red Alert, Dune 2, Warcraft, and StarCraft — some of my all-time favorites.[/p][p]Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d one day be part of creating something this big — something real, something that people around the world can now play.[/p][p]Ten years ago, Alon Tzarafi and I decided to make a small game just for fun.[/p][p]We wanted to create something different — not just another RTS like the classics we loved.[/p][p]So we started meeting up at cafés, brainstorming, trying to think of something original. After three or four sessions, the concept for Moduwar was born — and the rest is history. :)[/p][p]The journey since then has been long and full of challenges, failures, and surprises.[/p][p]Along the way, many amazing friends joined the ride. At one point, 14 people were working on the game — and some are still with us to this day.[/p][p]The more progress we made, the farther the finish line seemed, with obstacles that at times felt impossible to overcome.[/p][p]In the past year, we partnered with a French publisher who helped us bring Moduwar across the finish line — and now here we are.[/p][p]Thank you so much to everyone who supported us along the way Community:[/h3][p][/p][p]We wanted to thank again everyone who gave positive reviews and important feedback, it's extremely helpful for our game,so it’s give a great image of Moduwar and giving us a lot of tools to improve. [/p][p][/p][p]As your point of view is extremely important for us, don’t hesitate to leave a review on our Steam page or Discord![/p][p][/p][p] Discord Steam[/p]
