For my 10th consecutive Ludum Dare entry, I have gone for a top-down unit management RTS-style game. Fun fact, my game also fits in with LD31's theme.
=== Description ===
Inspired by the Tropico series of games and that one episode of Miami Vice, you're in charge of a Caribbean island ruled by your communist dictatorship. Unfortunately, communism in the east is falling apart, and the people of your island have heard about it. They are getting restless, seeing that maybe your regime could be toppled too.
You must control your island's military and police forces, to fight off rebels and deal with protests, all while collecting money by "borrowing" from your nation's treasury by bribing bankers, or seizing the assets of islanders with police forces. Your power over your nation is constantly decreasing, however.
=== Instructions ===
1. Gather some initial funds by going into the police menu (in the side bar), and assigning some police forces to seize assets.
2. Send armed units to patrol the forests (in brown) for rebels
3. Move your dictator to banks, and bribe different bankers in order to make big money
4. Slow down the decay of the power bar by purchasing media campaigns from the media menu (in the side bar)
5. Send your police to deal with protests and riots, which cause your power bar to decrease faster
6. When you've "borrowed" enough money to get a good score, go to the airport, and get a plane ready
7. When you're ready, escape from your island!
- To move a unit, click on it, then click where it needs to move, or on the icon it needs to deal with.
- To change the effectiveness of police at dealing with protests and riots, change their tools in the police menu
=== Tools used ===
- Java Eclipse (Juno, it's on an old laptop)
- Paint.NET
- Evernote
=== Features I planned but ran out of time for ===
- Assassins
- Military being able to take care of protests/riots
- Escape the island on a cargo ship or fishing boat
- MUSIC (again)
- Police and Military rebelling when power is too low
Thank you for playing!
