The idea itself is good, but would be better if you added more features, since it gets a little dull after a while. Also, sound effects would be a good addition next time. You could just use something simple like SFXR to randomly create sounds for soldiers battling, and it would give players a much better impression.

Kind of played on the human condition rather then literal monsters, but never got around to a few additional systems that would have helped it make sense.  I apologize for the lack of sound and music but I'm impressed I found enough time to finish the game, it was a tight race against time, but at least there's something I have to show for it.\r\n\r\nSome of the Challenges I faced:\r\nAI - totally forgot I needed to do this part, and although its a bit rough, it turned out alright\r\n\r\nMovement - Unit movement is surprisingly tough in an RTS that I originally intended for mobile (So its all touch style interface) so its all based on a single click and the information you can gather between the 3 actions you have.\r\n\r\nThings I needed to scrap:\r\nProcedural generated level, If you look the code is in there using perlin noise to create random levels but I decided to comment it out and go with a good old fashion tile map, although it doesn't really matter as they are all the same tiles, and I don't use that information for anything. But it was fun to experiment with it.\r\n\r\nTowns Giving you stuff. Just ran out of time, its unfortunate cause it sounded cool and added depth, but oh well, maybe in a future build.\r\n\r\nFeatures include a morale system (the bar under the unit size\/health)\r\nMorale dictates how effective a unit is. Controlled towns give health regen bonus and morale boost (even while in combat).\r\n\r\nHow to Play\r\n------------\r\nControls:\r\nClick and drag from a unit to move them\r\nClick and drag from the field to move the camera\r\nWASD to move the camera\r\n\r\nGoal for Victory:\r\nWipe out the enemy's units\r\n\r\n\r\nTools \r\n------ \r\nUnity\r\n[Short list this time]]\r\n\r\n\r\nLike what I did or have a question? leave it in the comments or on twitter\r\n--------- \r\nTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/tylermatchett\r\n\r\n\r\nNote\r\n------\r\nCan't get Github to work for source, I will continue trying, but for now I have removed the link.\r\n\r\n\r\nUPDATE\r\n-------\r\nReplaced the shitty HTML5 web build with a unity web one. Still works best with the win download though.\r\n\r\nThank you all for the great feedback, I'm glad people seem to be enjoying it, I threw an android build up to see if I could and switched out the webGL for the good old fashioned unity web player.","title":"LD33 - Overlord"}
