HEX COMMAND GAMES
Fields of Valour Normandy

— About
/01
I am an indie game developer creating games that are fun, inspiring and shaped by imagination, curiosity and a love of thoughtful design.
I’m Andy, an indie game developer focused on analytical, data‑driven and strategic games shaped by decades of gaming experience. After years immersed in board wargames and digital strategy titles, I’ve turned that passion into development with Fields of Valour: Normandy, a turn‑based hex, solitaire‑style wargame that captures the feel of a compact tabletop battle. My aim is to evolve the engine into a series covering different battles and eras throughout history, keeping the emphasis on accessible, boardgame‑like play rather than deep, heavy simulation.

/04
Currently in development
Fields of Valour: Normandy is deep in active development, with every gameplay system undergoing continuous refinement as we advance through the pre‑release cycle. Core mechanics, unit behaviour, combat resolution, AI decision‑making, scenario scripting, and visual presentation are all being iterated as we test new approaches and respond to player insight.
Throughout this phase, players may encounter incomplete features, placeholder assets, experimental mechanics, or content that has not yet reached its final level of polish. Save data may be reset between updates as we adjust underlying systems, introduce new units or terrain types, refine historical scenarios, or restructure campaign progression.
Community feedback is central to shaping the direction of the project. Input from testers directly informs future builds as we enhance stability, refine tactical modelling, expand the operational map, and work towards a fully realised, historically grounded strategy experience.
