A new video with plenty of RTS gameplay, playing a mission from the start: harvesting, expanding, defending, and designing new processes and sending them into battle.

The flexibility of your units designer is awesome! What are you using under the hood? Tons of subclasses?

[linley]

Even better - thousands of lines of procedural C! And lots of recursion.

It's taken a long time and many tens of thousands of lines of code, but the full release version of Liberation Circuit is finally ready:

Here it is. For the Windows binary, download Libcirc-v1.0-win-binary.zip and extract to a convenient location.

For other systems (Linux etc) there are compilation instructions in the readme.

To re-summarise: it's an RTS about escaping from a hostile computer system. It's also a programming game, and as well as controlling your units directly, you can also (optionally!) write your own AI routines for them.

Here's the trailer:





And for more gameplay:





Have fun!

Awesome job and congratulations for finishing the game! Only tried it a bit and it seems very polished. Will have to try it out more later.

[linley]

Thanks!

I should mention that it's up on itch.io: https://linleyh.itch.io/liberation-circuit

And a new version (1.2) is up:

on itch: https://linleyh.itch.io/liberation-circuit
and Github: https://github.com/linleyh/liberation-circuit/releases/latest

Numerous changes, including:

• a new font size option (see init.txt)
• you can now use init.txt to specify a file to save mission progress to (in case your game directory is write-protected)
• "template files" have been renamed to "multi-binary files" to reflect their purpose as collections of multiple processes in binary format for use in multiplayer games
• many small changes to in-game text, to make it more helpful
• press space to cycle between active "under attack" alerts
• data well locations are marked on areas obscured by fog of war
• music is paused when the "exit game" box is displayed
• a new "quit game" option on the "exit game" box (quits to the story screen or the main menu)
• many other minor changes.

A new release!

Version 1.3 adds an integrated debugger/bytecode-watch system to help debug process code. v1.3 also fixes a few minor issues with v1.2.

Here's what the debugger looks like in action:
