I couldn’t resist this challenge! RTS Games is one of my favorite genres. I actually created Warcraft 2 Levels back in the day; which is part of the reason why I got hooked on creating games.

Gameplay Idea

Aircraft command is a tactical time management combat game. That’s what I wrote back in 2009. Basically the game is a reverse Tower Defense game. The player must successfully lead a group of bombers (which he does not control) to a series of targets. To do this, the player has access to a different units. These units will eliminate the turrets and fighters that are trying to kill the bombers.

Win Condition:

Get enough bomb mobs to the target. ( I may do some type of other element like a ticking timer)

Lose Condition:

Lose too many bombers, or let time run out (This may change)

Tools:

• Unity 3d
• Photoshop
• Playmaker (Unity Plugin)
• Maya

Goals:

• Expand knowledge of Unity Playemaker
• Finish an old idea in 7 days
• complete a damn LD type challenge!
• Port game to Ouya
• Port game to ipad

Luckily I’m not starting from scratch per se. A lot of the work I’ve done for my main project can be repurposed.

I also have some art that a friend made for this very project a few years back.

Here’s my progress so far:

I got the main bomber mobs going to the target. I’m working on making the first turret fight back against those pesky invaders. Follow me on Twitter to keep up with my progress. ( @MarvinHawkins) I’m also going to post here!
