Forest Nothing by Corporation
Forest Nothing is a resource management real time strategy, set in the dense forest

Chop wood to clear up space. Build houses and create more workers.

Research technologies and advance to the new era.

Build a Wonder to win the game!

This game is inspired by AoE 2 map.
Controls:
Use WASD or mouse at the sides of the screen to move the camera, press F to recenter.
Left click to select worker, right click to give orders. Workers can move to position, chop wood or use farm. After harvesting they need to drop off resources to the storage. Sometimes they can get stuck if there's no resources near, or there's no path. If you see exclamation mark - worker is idle, and you should reassign him.
Left click on a building to select it and open available actions. It can create workers or research technologies. Press ESC or anywhere else to close building panel. Press red skull to destroy building.
Buildings can be placed on the free tiles, workers also can block it, so you need to move them.
Creating workers requires population space, you can increase it by building houses.
Gold can only be gained in the market, by selling wood.
Personal best
My current personal best score is 1608, maybe someone can beat it.

This is pretty cool! The controls feel a bit janky but maybe it's just because I'm so used to having keyboard shortcuts for everything in AoE2. :smile: Still it's very impressive you managed to make this in only 48 hours, well done!
I loved this game. I put on the AoE2 soundtrack in the background while I played, it all fit perfectly together. This game made me happy, well done :smile:
Thank you for making this, I really liked playing it!
@googlypoo glad I brought back those memories!) Nice idea with soundtrack, I wish I could recreate something like it for my game in a jam time
@red-stake thanks for the feedback! Excessive wood is kinda the theme of this game, but I understand that it feels unbalanced)
I guess I can run this game on Linux using Wine, but it's so much more efforts than just pressing "play".
You have my respect.
Impressive work, nice done and interesting take of the theme :smile:
Congrats !
even though there was no time pressure i still tried to optimize my build
just watching the workers walk about is pretty fun
As everyone else said, pretty good remake of AoE2. :smile:
@masterofcheese glad you liked it! Length is always a hard thing to balance, I'm usually aiming for <10 minutes in jams, this can be done in 6-10 using speed up
Took a few tries, but beat your high score :)

I wonder if you've been using delete starting TC trick to achieve it)
P.S. just found that Terra Nil also started at LD, what a great addition to my list of inspirations!)
