Conflict 3049 - free RTS game (built with C# and raylib)

[Matty]

Those DLLs get put there when I compile c# - that's what happens when I ask to do a stand alone executable - I have no idea if they're all truly necessary but the c# SDK puts them there when I hit "compile"

[Matty]

Naughty Alien - I've uploaded a version without the dlls and a larger executable instead - if you...or someone can test it to see if it runs on your machine okay that would be great.

Same game, just compiled with different settings, that I know work on my machine but no idea how it goes on another's.

..is it same link? If you can share link with modified package ill try..

[Matty]

Yeah same link https://matty77.itch.io/conflict-3049

..this is how it looks like and it seems it works just fine..

[Matty]

Thanks Naughty Alien, glad to know that.

Thanks for trying it out for me. I'm glad a stand alone executable without all the dlls works fine. (Also glad it runs well on your PC)

[Naughty Alien]

..i think, you should really expand this in to some nice, complete game. It does look like StarCraft a lot..

[Matty]

It's a good idea, but I'm wary of "biting off more than I can chew" - it's hard enough for me to polish just this few scenarios let alone a whole game of greater length.

Level design isn't my strong point - so if I made a longer game with a campaign it wouldn't be as strong in the game play as if I simply made one level and tried to do it as best I can (which is what i'm doing here)

@ Matty, why not keep the overhead view always? The simple models look best from that angle.

[Matty]

Personal preference, and to me they look good probably because the last 3d games I played were on the original Xbox in the early 2000s so I have no idea how advanced things have gotten.

[Steve Elliott]

Personally I think it dates your game when you zoom in. From above the game looks impressive, like the Command & Conquer style games that were popular (and could be again) but in true 3d.

For you Steve: ;-)

I made some changes to the lasers and a handful of other little things....

An updated video.

I haven't updated the screenshots yet though.

To anyone who has played the game (link https://matty77.itch.io/conflict-3049 ) - unless I'm mistaken it's pretty obvious how to play if you've played an RTS before: left click/drag select to select units, right click to move, move mouse to edge of screen to scroll map, click on mini map...all the inputs are as far as I can tell fairly standard for an RTS...and the options presented by the buildings are fairly limited "build units/upgrade" - so unless I'm really mistaken no one should be confused by 'how to play' -

I mean:

controls are standard.

enemies arrive after under a minute from the edge of the map.

your troops shoot them, the enemies die.

enemies shoot you, your troops/buildings die.

if all your buildings die...game over.

I can't see how that could possibly confuse anyone, especially not people who regularly play games and RTS games.
