Intruduction
As some of you know, I've started a personal Game that I intend to sell at one point, for those of you that don't know about it I will give you a basic summary for Future Game.
My dream for this game is pretty much that each person will have a army of User-programmed-computer-controlled-units, fighting in real time, the player would then help these troops in battle using a single manually controlled unit, along with moving fireteams, squads and platoons around a global map (like risk) in a simultaneous turn based system.
My Goal for this competition is the following.
Future Game Pre-Alpha 0.1:
Artificial Intelligence!!
Pre-Alpha 0.1 will be the first public release where it contains the "gist" of combat in Future Game.
- One or multiple A.I. that can have its programming altered by spending points on it between rounds.
- The A.I. will have basic necessity's like pathfinding, targeting and health/destruction.
- At least 3 different types of stats that can be increased/decreased as the game progresses, but no spoilers yet as to what they do.
While it seems simple enough, this is actually a big goal for this competition, Good news is that i've been getting better at integrating game dev into my normal work life which is the ultimate goal.
Bug Fixes!
Of course, one of the most important things is to get rid of bugs, I will create a bug sheet at the bottom so feel free to send me a message (in the discord preferably) if you notice anything.
