This was really good, nice work for such a short period of time, there are loads of nice polishes like the real-time lighting and also the partial affects.

A fun, well polished game!

beautiful and complex, one of the better games I have played this year.

stanov 2015-08-25 16:14

Seems nice, sounds perfectly - love your voice as a soldier :)

I don't know how to win. I killed all soldiers and hypnotized all dudes on map. And nothing happens - game is still playing. So I'm confused.

I love rts, and this game was quite appreciable because that's the same sensation as playing to Age of empire for example
Well done =)

Nice game, took some time to understand mechanics, but very interesting later. I thought I killed all the greenies, but I didn't seen screen with "you win" or something. Did I miss someone?

Cool game with great sounds. You don't see many RTS games in the Ludum Dare and it's good to see them

mathias234 2015-08-25 19:22

Really nice game :)

mfagerlund 2015-08-25 19:23

NOTE TO EVERYONE! YOU CAN'T WIN AT WAR! KILL ALL ENEMIES? ARE YOU STILL WHO YOU WERE WHEN YOU STARTED? DID YOU WIN?

And also, I didn't have time to implement "You win, nice job of killing all those human kids, you heartless bastard". ;)

Thanks for all who tried the game! I'm running out of ! now...

Interesting mechanic idea. I ran into a bug with the selection box and mouse clicks being offset: not sure if this is a unity bug or game bug (in fullscreen mode). Nice simplistic art style. Could have used a bit more explanation. Overall, a nice start: with a bit more work it could really be a fun and interesting game.

Really cool concept and creepy mood, especially the comments soldiers and civilians make. AI seems cleverly engineered although the weapons range sometimes felt grossly in favor of the hypnotized paramilitaries. Would have really like some background music ;)

I amazed that you were able to put together such a tight RTS in so little time! Gratz on that!

eric777 2015-08-25 19:44

I like RTS games. They are pretty complex. This is a compo entry? Wow. You accomplished a lot in 48 hours!

I think I played as far as you can. I killed everyone I could find and explored everywhere. Lost the first time, but figured out how to use the walls to divide and conquer.

I am not sure how this fits the theme though. That's probably my only complaint. It's understandable that there's no end-game payoff, since RTS games are a lot of work! Nicely done!

StaNov said he loved my voice! ("love your voice as a soldier", but still). StaNov, I love you, no-one ever said they loved my voice before. Could you please tell my wife ;) Just kidding, don't tell my wife. Seriously.

cheers,

So, @eric777 and others, you can't win the game, and the connection with the theme is that during the "glitching" it's "revealed" that the green monsters are in fact humans. Those are kids your sending in to die for you. But I did *NOT* pull that off well enough so that people understand what's going on. My failure...

"I think Frank died a little, Sir".

Great game!
Voice acting is good, graphics are good, the overall concept works well. I had a good time.
But is there a victory condition? I think I killed all the "greenies" but I didn't get anything...

mfagerlund 2015-08-26 11:16

Can't win the game, sorry ;) Didn't have time for that, I submitted at 02:45 (in the middle of the night), giving me 15 minutes to spare ;)

namrog84 2015-08-28 05:40

quite neat! I liked it! Also its neat to see this style of game in ludum dare!

megasdragos1 2015-08-28 16:36

This was a pleasure to play. Great work dev!

askbackwards 2015-08-28 16:40

Amazingly impressive game for such a short amount of time! Very smooth game play with no bugs as far as I played.

mfagerlund 2015-08-30 12:49

Thanks all!

One of the better games this LD, but it could do with a bit better of a tutorial, but it looks very nice! The buildings could do with some texturing, but other than that, good work. I quite enjoyed it (also, the audio is great and hilarious)

mitkus 2015-08-30 13:09

Nicely complex.

Shadow 2015-08-30 13:18

Nice! Loved the RTS voice work. It's amazing what you managed to make for the compo! RTS are serious work!

The connection with the theme is rather vague I have to say, although your explanation in the comments makes it less of an issue.

Overall it was incredibly fun! Kudos for such a fun and solid entry, mate!

Biruts 2015-09-01 19:54

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

The perception altering goggles reminded me of the concept of the game "Haze" a little. I enjoy seeing RTS entries, but it's quite hard to get across the theme you were going for when people/greenies are reduced to circles. Still, fairly solid entry with some nice graphical touches and voice acting. Well done!
