Hey everyone! I'm here to show you a game I'm developing called Towncraft II. It's a RTS with some survival elements. The goal is to raise your town to make it safe (the longest you can). It features a day/night cycle system and monsters show up at night and may attack you. The number of enemies and their power increase according to the days passed. Some stuff from the game:

Resources

(Lv. 1) Food: Used to train every single unit. You can get it by building farms. (You can activate an option when game starts to make people consume food, so the bigger the population, more farms (that produce food) will be needed once they start losing health if food stocks reach 0).
(Lv. 1) Wood: Used to build every single building. You can get it by building lumbermills.
(Lv. 1) Glory: Used to buy upgrades. You can get it by building or killing monsters.
(Lv. 2) Iron: Used to train every single military unit. You can get it by building iron mines.
(Lv. 3) Gold: Used to buy resources. You can get it by selling resources (market).

Buildings

(Lv. 1) House: Increases population capacity by 3.
(Lv. 1) Fence: Keeps enemies away by blocking their way.
(Lv. 1) Lumbermill: Collects wood from near tree (needs workers).
(Lv. 1) Farm: Produces food over time.
(Lv. 2) Barracks : Trains military units.
(Lv. 2) Wall : Keeps enemies away by blocking their way. Way tougher to destroy than fences.
(Lv. 2) Iron Mine: Collects iron from mountain (must be closeto one/needs workers).
(Lv. 2) Tower : Protects area by shooting arrows.
(Lv. 3) Market : Sells/buys resources for/using gold.
(Lv. 3) Magic School: Trains magical units.

Units

(Center) Slave: That unit builds stuff and work at iron mines/lumbermills.
(Center) Hunter: Good for exploration in early game, very fast.
(Barracks) Warrior: Average fighter, decent speed, health and attack power.
(Barracks) Archer: Ranged fighter, very useful with some fences.
(Barracks) Defender: Slow unit, huge health and weak attack.
(Mg.School) Priest: Unit that heals near allies.
(Mg.School) Wizard: Strikes enemies with fireballs (cast time: 2s).

Enemies

Bug: Weakest enemy, won't be a huge threat.
Skeleton: Can be handled easily with a couple of military units.

Thief: Fast unit, priorizes destruction. May show up in groups of 1-5.

Hey, cool game prototype. I had a bit of play and ran into this error:


I am looking forward to more updates!

I think I got it fixed. Woudl you mind testing it? https://db.tt/h5Qwhb6t

Also added some sound effects.

Thanks :)

Added positional sound system. I'm also working on a graphics update.

This is so adorable and awesome, keeping my eye on it  :blink:  :)

:toastR:

edit:
Also if your units touch the side of the map, the game freezes.
(Probably due to the grid not existing over their, so they don't know what to do!)
