This is not a finished game. But I'm uploading it for many reasons.
1. It's nearly finished. I just drew a blank when it came to making the AI, while I've done it before. I've never done it for an RTS.
2. There's some wonderfully interesting code in there.
3. I want to have entered every LD I can.
I'm not happy with myself, though. I really wanted to have a more playable game, but hopefully I'll learn to work on gameplay *before* prettiness.
Instructions:
Well the end goal isn't programmed, but you have to kill all the Green dudes (and the white dudes).
You can place Red dudes by selecting them on the screen, and clicking/tapping. There are different kinds of red dudes, but they all look the same, because I suck at art.
There's an Android version too. I'm only uploading the .apk, because I'm too embarressed to submit to the market.
I'll be working on this maybe as a jam game too, and possibly as a small project on the side.
This will not run on lower end android devices, but you're welcome to try!
Hm.. I can't actually figure out how to move the camera. I zoomed out a lot though, to substitute. I wasn't really sure what I was meant to be doing either.
And I couldn't find the difference between the men.
But the lights were pretty! And the soundtrack was very non-abrasive. It certainly looks a little more interesting than various RTS out there, since I'm not really a fan of the genre.
But yeah, it's intruiging, if not a full game. Points for effort anyway.
Good start. Ditto on control difficulty (on Android) but good on ya for doing an Android version! Love the sound-track -- did you do it yourself? Are the... Um not sure how to describe them... buzzy bits when combat is in progress? Nice touch if so :-)
Really liked the lighting effects and the colors, but I couldn't really figure out what to do. Spawned a bunch of red dudes and they just sorta wandered away.
