ProtoRTS is a game of mine, an experiment in procedural generation (the landscape) and macromanagement (the AI and the input system work like this). Lots of things need tweaking, there are bugs to iron out, but I'd like some feedback and some testing. Make sure to read the readme, there's a lot of keys. I'm off to school now, tell me what you think. It's an acceptable timewaster.

Currently, there's a few bugs I'm aware of, but I'm sure you'll find more. Keen for some comments.

This game looks very pretty, and the Isometric landscape is quite good.
I like just watchingthings happen, because I have no ♥♥♥♥ clue how to play.

I read the readme, but the buttons don't seem to do anything It's probably just me though.

Geti, you're a genius.
However, LÖVE's accent symbol scares me from downloading it for some reason. The sooner you fix/whatever the dependancy, the better...

It looks awesome. The tiles are placed a little spastically though, probably a result of the procedural generation.

If you need help with any art aspects, which I doubt you will, I can help.

Actually, I just DL'd Love, and it works like a charm. I don't know anything else that uses it, but this is reason enough.

Right now I wish I had enough money to get a newer computer, cuz that game looks fun to play.

How do I tell which team is which?
You've got those flags up there on the town towers, why not colorize them and make team identities a little more intuitive?

A re-center camera button would be nice, or a limit to camera movement outside the terrain.

And maybe some performance improvements. The concept is very interesting, but the game runs really slow on my system.

A++ on the art, though.

Updated with bounds locking on the camera. I'll try to do the flag colours tonight, I had that idea a while ago but I'd neglected it. For now, your team is the team that isn't highlighted red the whole time. You'll definitely notice the change when you hit e and q.
Did you up the timescale? 1x is very slow (1 game hour per second), intended more for setting up your order queue early game than actually playing. I'm running it on a pentium M (1.8GHz) and can get it to 4x without it desyncing me (I'll put in an option to turn of desyncs next version for those of you crazies who want to run 128+ hours per update, I've got other things to do now) which isn't too bad. On my main box on a larger map (I'll try to get a setting for that happening soon, maybe as a config file, maybe as an in-game option, depends how much code re-arranging I feel like doing) I can get 16x-32x when there's less than 40 units on the map. There's a lot of optimising to do, but it shouldn't run too slow..Thank you
Don't worry about LÖVE, it's not malware of any form, just a framework. the closest I'll get to "removing" the dependency will be binding the game and the binary together, but that'll bump the download to 3+MB each update, so I'll do it once I've got this to v1.0, anything past that will likely be in a few years ported to flash, the code behind this is horrible. I just want to get this to a playable point.

On that note, what would you feel was a suitable buff from ingesting the minerals on the map. I'm dropping the original idea of various factions and giving everyone the same abilities, so these guys will be eartheater plains-people. I'm currently thinking a major strength and possibly minor aggressiveness buff would be fitting, but I'd like input.

That looks absolutely delicious. I want to gorge myself on that screenshot.

I had no idea what I was doing, but it looked pretty cool. Then I flew away into the distance at 460 fps and got lost.

This should be fixed in the new version are you sure you got it?

Wait, there's a new version?

I updated the drop this morning adding that in. Re-download and try? New version should lock the bounds..

It looks really cute... and isometric. I LOVE ISOMETRIC!..games. I love isom... (loop)

added a version with embedded windows binaries for the lazy ones out there
same drop : http://drop.io/tr0fk4d
also fixed a small bug
