Well this is my first LD, roads got me a bit off track, but I managed to come up with an idea for it. Strategy using roads as a basis, hopefully I can get something working later today (12:47 right now). I got a few ideas sketched out, I’ll post pictures later in the morning. To the rest of you, good luck.

Up and at it again, here’s the first food shot. Onto coding base classes and grid structures…

Well hitting a few road blocks that really shouldn’t be that hard to circumvent. But here’s the first screenshot of the TileEngine. Now I need to code all my units, and a way to save and load maps.

Well I’m still working on my RTS game. Based on Roads of course… Currently have the units working, and an engine to control the units. Hopefully I’ll get them moving correctly in the next few hours, till then here’s a shot of the selection working. I don’t think I’ll get pathfinding going, so I’ll stick with vector movement. More to come…

Gone through two Amps, but I’m headed off. Units are movable (Through commands now) and I Randomized the tile engine so the grass looks better. I still need to figure out how to have units fight other units, and how the AI will work. Sound would be nice too, but I’m trying to get the main game working before anything else. I’m up to around 1200 lines of code (Horribly commented code) but getting closer to an actual game. I’ll post another screenshot once I can get it to load and save maps.
So I’m back at it after a solid eight hours of sleep. A little under twelve hours left and I still can’t “Spawn” units. I can make them randomly appear, but somehow I think that won’t be enough.

On the other side of things, I am getting closer with the RTS game. 
You can select any number of units, and right click to have them move wherever you want. Once I can make units spawn I’ll release a beta. More to come!
Well, I got a UI up and running, and I made the units interface with the tilemap… But there’s a catch. If you have over around 100 units moving at a time, the frame rate completely dies. I need to get my loops a little more streamlined, and I reeeeeally need to get the units to be able to fight other units… The roads make units move more quickly, so that’s a plus at least. Here’s a screenshot…
Tags: Bad coding, progress
Well this is going badly at this point. No sound, and no AI. I just finished the abilities to build buildings that spawn units, working on the AI as quicky as I can, but I somehow think it won’t neccesarily work out too well. But here’s a screenshot anyway…
I’ll have something remotely playable soon, hopefully a little entertaining. I didn’t plan it out nearly well enough so the whole Roads genre kind of got lost when I realized I wasn’t getting enough done nearly quickly enough…

Well I wrote it, all 2260 lines of it. The is my first LD entry ever, and I’d like to throw this out there. I started with good intentions, Road based RTS. I had this whole idea in my head (most of it on paper) but I got caught up in minor bugs and issues, so I ran out of time. This does work, but it isn’t anywhere near done.
Here’s the download link

I included the source code, it’s compiled with Visual Studio Express 2008. It uses XNA 3.0, I included the Redristributable. I hope I do better next time, it was a ton of fun though.
I do wish the Roads genre didn’t get lost in the game… Oh and don’t forget to read the Readme.txt
EDIT: I forgot one thing! Use the arrow keys to move around the level!

Sorry about not being around lately to read comments or judge anything. My internet utterly and completely died. Finally managing to get on now at school, I’ll try and get a few more judged and sorry about the rapidshare link, I know it’s terrible but I didn’t have the time (or bandwidth sadly) to be able to search for a more reliable site. Thanks for the comments, I’m thrilled that people are actually looking at it.
