The\u00a0\u00a0#7DRTS<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0(Seven Day Real Time Strategy) Game Jam at\u00a0+Ludum Dare<\/a>\u00a0has begun! \u00a0(http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/07\/05\/minild-44-announcement\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m taking part and hope to post one screenshot per day for the next seven days \u2013 from concept to mockup to beta to release. I hope to make a simple puzzle\/boardgame style RTS that features lots of castle and road building.<\/p>\n

My initial idea: think reversi (othello, gomoku) plus civ\/simcity\/carcassionne.<\/p>\n

Played on a top-view fantasy overworld map. The strategic focus is on the road network (or train tracks). Any time you capture a city and own both the first and last city in a network, you claim the entire trade route. Just like in reversi, you can suddenly flip the team of a long row or column of cities if you capture the \u201cends\u201d of the chain.<\/p>\n

Wish me luck!<\/p>\n
