Strata Dig by Jared Sartin

[raw]
made by Jared Sartin for LD29 (JAM)
Multiplayer RTS - unfinished. Built with a custom multiplayer syncing server.

Design docs on intended game: https://docs.google.com/a/atomicobject.com/presentation/d/1ZPlGH-4uvji72ajAp6s5N1YRXEfcYd7TcFwyvNrFPBY/edit?pli=1#slide=id.g32fe7febf_2116

Hold 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and click in the map to place a bot. Click one of your bots and then hold g and click the location you want them to go. They will wander, otherwise.

When other players join in the server, they can add bots as well! There is little outside of the multiplayer sync. :(

I don't know what to do with the bots I spam. The graphics are pretty good. It's such a shame that you couldn't finish it.

Couldn't actually play against anyone and wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing. The graphics are nice and very fitting for the game, though.

It looks very promising, and the sprites look so awesome. But there is not a lot to see. I hope you people continue developing this.

Now, I'm sure you know this already, but I miss some graphical/audio feedback when I select something or do something. Also would like if it was not necessary to hold the key, just pressing it once, toggling between "modes".

Nothing happens for me neither :( Maybe its because my keyboard doesn't have a Numpad?

Shame you didn't get more done on this, looks like a nice base to a full game!

I couldn't play the game. It just showed a black screen and a label "FPS" at the top right corner.

Cool looking bots, I'd like to see if more was added.

Not sure if I played the game right :X I included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series! http://youtu.be/O5O979VlwyY

Good start, but far from finished. I had the same problem. Graphics are looking good.
