Rise Of Corruption by Wevel
In this game you control a mountain outpost near a corruption portal. Grow your base by mining into the mountain to get coal, iron, gold and gems. However, the more of these resources you collect, the more corruption you will gain. The higher the corruption the worse the attacks will be against you. To defeat the corruption you will need to research several technologies to reduce how much is made and then finally remove the corruption you have to win the game.
There are several buildings that you need to place to grow your base - Ladder: Allows workers to access the tiles directly above and below the ladder - Worker Tools: Allows for an additional worker to help mine out stone and construct new buildings - Research: Allows a worker to progress towards getting a tech (having more will speed up research) - Armoury: Lets a worker gear up and stand guard outside the base - Blacksmith: Allows coal and iron ore to be smelted into iron to be used elsewhere - Wooden wall: A basic defense to hold back the forces of corruption - Stone wall: A much stronger defense against the forces of corruption
To get wood, mark the trees for clearing
Most buildings have their own worker type, unfortunately I didn't have time to change what they look like so if people just stand around its probably that they don't have anything to do most of the time.
When you place a building, a worker will arrive to work it. If the worker is killed, a new one will be summoned when it is safe for it to arrive. If all of your workers die then the corruption will take over your base and you will lose.
Controls - WASD or Arrow keys or middle mouse to move the camera - 1,2,...,7 to select different building types, or click the buttons at the bottom - C or the clear tile button to get tool to mark trees, mountain tiles or buildings to be removed - T or the progress bar in the top right to open the tech menu - Escape to pause the game - Right click to cancel using the current tool - If you are using the clear tile tool, hold alt and left click to cancel a building or mining job
Please comment, I will try to play the games of all the people who do so.
Made Using: - Unity 2017.1.1f1 - Visual Studio - Photoshop
Known Bugs: - If you queue up multiple buildings that at the time you have enough resources for, when you run out of resources, the additional jobs wont be able to be completed and have to be removed and re added.

Setting some minor bugs aside, the biggest screaming flaw about the game is the fact that you can't lose and can't win, which is a real bummer. I'd love to see this (and would pay to play it) finished where you can actually win (and by extension lose). It's a huge flaw but understandable given the time frame.
Once again, GG, looking forward to your next game :-)
Once it's more polished, I'd love to play it again :D
Overall, a VERY impressive effort given the time contraints.
I reached a point where the workers kind of seemed to have broken down mentally and kept running around while I gave them actual tasks. Otherwise the game seems to have some pretty respectable AI.
I was really confused with workers not doing anything until I remembered what you wrote and realized those weren't workers, but guards, smiths, etc, and weren't supposed to be doing anything. Just a color swap on that would have gone a very, very long way to getting a better feeling of what was going on.
I had a lot of difficulty cancelling tasks - sometimes alt-click would work, other times they would just stay there, or a bunch of random clicking, right clicking, switching tools, etc, would eventually make them go away. I think these were often tasks that I didn't have enough resources to finish or something. Final hang was when trying to remove a "Clear" task though.
In terms of improvements, there were times when I had to right click a bunch to get the 'mine' command to work again for some reason. Not sure if it was just my PC, but I found that particularly finnicky when that happened. Certainly not a game-breaker or anything like that though.
Additionally, it could certainly use a tiny bit of audio, even if they're just little things, as right now it feels a little awkward without anything of the sort. Other than that, this game was solid, and could evolve into something special with the right tweaks. Great job!
@oliverlevay Turns out I wasn't calling the method to allow you to lose, so thats now fixed. Did you get all the research, or was it that winning just took way too long.
@mrthee, @jimbly, @jakers I'll look into the mine/clear tool, hadn't realized there was a problem with it.
@max-amaden Thank
@isogash As much as I would love to add this, I think it probably doesn't count as a bug fix so I can't really do it.
Ill also look into fixing the workers a bit so they don't derp around quite so much.
Very nice game! It took a while to learn and althought it's bugged, it's good. There was nullreference exception. and other time my worker disappeared. Good job! I'll play more later!
Come check out my game if you like!
