Just one guy making low poly games in his spare time.

Currently working on "Fracture the Flag" - working title - that was inspired by the classic board game "Crossbows and Catapults." The game is physics based and supports multiplayer.

I've been making slow progress on the UI for the game. I want to make the UI as invisible as possible. If a part of the UI isn't being used it will fade away, slide off the screen or minimize leaving as much real estate as possible to play the game. I've never been a big fan of cluttered screens.

Most functions of the weapons and worker/soliders are designed to be done contextually with mouse buttons. Unit selection is done with the left mouse button while assigning tasks is the job of the right mouse button. Select a catapult and then right click a target. Select a worker and right click a mine and it will get started producing bombs or right click a catapult to supply the catapult with ammunition. Simple. Other less common functions will be incorporated into UI's for the selected units.

With the potential for large maps and large numbers of units I've also added UI's to help find and select workers and siege weapons.

The build menu is pretty much what it sounds like... Next up creating icon for the buttons and getting a mini-map working.

I like where this is going. The grid and fog of war work together nicely. #deepspacedirective #indiegames #gamedev T.co

Maybe one of my favorite and simpest visual additions to the game - a hex grid. #IndieGameDev #screenshot #hexgame T.co

New shuttle "hanger" model. Each model gets the game just a bit closer to being done. #IndieGameDev #gamedevT.co
