I think it&#8217;s time for a short progress report.<\/p>\n <p>I decided to create a small real-time strategy game using Playcraft.js. I&#8217;ll probably regret it because the task seem to be much more complex than I supposed &#8211; I&#8217;m lacking of knowledge of the framework, I never created real-time games before, never created strategy games, and never developed complex AI.<\/p>\n <p>Well, so many things I didn&#8217;t do before&#8230; And it&#8217;s cool! I&#8217;ll probably not finish the game in time, but will definitely learn a lot while doing it. And will also improve my drawing skills, which is also good.<\/p>\n <p>The first screenshot:<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/villain_1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-200261\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-200261\" alt=\"villain_1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/villain_1-300x207.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/villain_1-300x207.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/villain_1-550x380.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Some game details:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>You&#8217;re the villain trying to conquer the country which is ruled by the King<\/li>\n <li>You have a castle where you start<\/li>\n <li>You should build farms, mines, and villages to get food, gold, and citizens<\/li>\n <li>You should build barracks, labs, and factories to convert citizens to soldiers, mutants, and devastators<\/li>\n <li>Your fighters can attack King&#8217;s fighters and destroy King&#8217;s buildings, while the opponent does the same to your possessions<\/li>\n <li>You win when you capture the King&#8217;s castle, or lose when the King captures yours<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n <p>P.S.
