Second ludum dare, glad I made it!

Description

Two incompatible genres mixed: text-based, RTS. The only way to interact with the game is by keyboard and the text you write. The rest is simulated on screen in old-style ascii codes.

Gameplay and controls:

The goal is to destroy the AI, he's colored red somewhere on the map. Though,I didn't have time to balance it... good luck

Keyboard 👀

C:constructor
H:harvester
S:soldier

:part of a building

3 buildings: headquarters, refinery, barracks

And now for controls(use help): - DATA SHOW RULERS -shows rulers so it's easier to move around - DATA SHOW LOG -log of commands - DATA SHOW CODES -shows code for every unit/building - DATA SHOW BUILDINGS -show available buildings

Help on all commands: - HELP - HELP DATA - HELP SURVEILLANCE - HELP HIDE - HELP BUILD - HELP MOVE - HELP TRAIN - HELP DESTROY

• SURVEILLANCE MOVE TO/BY X Y -moves camera
• BUILD REFINERY/HEADQUARTERS/BARRACKS X Y
• TRAIN [BUILDINGCODE] [UNITNAME]
• MOVE [UNIT_CODE] TO/BY X Y
• DESTROY [UNIT/BUILDING_CODE]

Tools

• Unity
• Gimp
• Bosca Ceoil

Conclusion

Honestly, I bit off more than I could chew. There were just too many mechanics to develop, units and buildings to add, commands to enable and check for syntax.
I had plans on paper for 6 units in total and two more buildings, better UI, some sfx...
Yeah, completely messed up in the planning and organization department 🤣

Note

I'll post the Itch.io links later...
