WIP RTS Game Prototype

[Sarcen]

I'm working on an early RTS Game prototype, so far i've implemented a bunch of the basic systems.

Here's some vids of progress:

Test invasion of units

Super weapon

Keep in mind everything (meshes, units, buildings, etc.) is just placeholders to test the underlying systems, like resource collecting, research, unit behaviour, etc.

Wow awesome, looks like you got all the coding done for it.

[Sarcen]

Hardly all, but its moving along nicely ;)

How did you handle your World/UI interaction?
All my atempts so far have resulted in that I can't get any input to the controller and thus the camera. Or the other way around, i can get input to the controller but not the ui.

I am not using UIScenes, im drawing stuff on the hud myself.

Ah. and then ju just check mouse down in specific coords on the screen to be sure where on the ui you click.

Wow that look nice. Keep up the good work.

[Piranhi]

Really good work.

Dude....... you are my hero!! Do you have a lot of experience with unreal and unrealscript or are you, like many of us new to it (but very good)?

[Lord Banshee]

Really cool, I love RTS's

Great job so far, looking forward to where this goes.

WOWWWW!!! Like i said in the previous posts.. you are my god!! GOD! Anybody that knows scripting that well deserves that status.. shold be little icon next to your name in the forum..

I take it you have professional experience with unreal engine?
I recently got my first custom game working - you know the basic "class my extends GameInfo; DefaultProperties{}.. :D and that was blast for me!!! Cant imagine how it must be for you to be able to code entire RTS game..

GOD! :)

[SethPDA]

Great work :D
I think you're going in the right way with this :D
Keep up the good work
Personally I don't really like RTS games,only some like Starcraft and the CNC series.But I would really like to see an RTS game with UE3 ^^

[Hboybowen]

arent you part of AFF Planetstorm team... if im right(if im wrong please correct me) you are probably one of the few reasons they did so well. But good job on this

[strangelet]

few reasons? pshh.

but no wish to redirect the thread, awesome work sarc.

[nezus]

Yeah really impressive work ! Keep going :)

[Nysuatro]

Crazy man. Nice job already

[REDxFROG]

This is the best I've seen done with the UDK so far.

[sueds]

hello,

I have a simple question. Do you use any pawn for the controller ? I was wondering how you did that.

anyway this is awesome work.

[Pangahas]

Hey maybe you'll be interested to help me with this one?or if you like we could use the ideas for the RTS

Nice, dude!
I mean, it's not much for raw visuals yet, but everything flows so nicely; the shots land where they're supposed to, the foot soldiers move around nicely and get out of each other's way in groups, etc, and I rather like the superweapon cutscene.

In short: very nice so far, good work.

[Phatsniper]

Awesome prototype you've got going on there, like others have said the superweapon camera was also cool. Looking forward to seeing more!

[UT2007]

Any progress so far ??

I think you can at least release the source of what you have done so far to help the community

[Dr Bearhands]

haha I hope not or my own project is dead, only started it after saw sarcen stated he didn't want to release his code for everybody to rape and cannibalize :P
