DataCore RTS

An experimental RTS game exploring energy chain as a mean to fuel your army.

Jam Notes

This was made in 6 days, so there's a lot of cut corners... My personal favorites are:

• If all of your units die, you need to Alt+F4 to retry.
• There is no official means of winning. Your goal is to reach the Data Center building on the far side of the map and energize it.
• I didn't have time for navigation code. So I invested in command queueing for giving players control over unit pathing then made the floor "lava".
• No audio :/

Mouse Controls

• Mouse on edges of screen to pan camera
  
• LMB to select single
• LMB + drag to select area
• Double Click to select all units of type in viewport
• LEFT SHIFT + click to toggle unit select
• LEFT SHIFT + click to queue commands (move / build / etc.)
• RMB / Escape to command selected units (move / build / etc.)

Keyboard Controls

• WASD / Arrows to pan camera
• X to stop unit motion
• 1 / 2 / 3 are the allowed actions which vary by current unit selection

Mechanics to know

• Everything costs ENERGY. Most notably: building units + attacking.
• Drones can manually move energy around.
• Krags are your only combat unit.
• Flux Relays will automatically transfer energy.
• Energy Sources take time to recharge; spend wisely.
• You can't heal your units :( But you can give them energy.
• The green "lava" will hurt your units because navigation didn't make the game's budget.

Known Bugs

• Can build on top of existing objects
• Disposing of a hologram will dispose of all holograms and not just the selected one (only in the web build)
