Hi, everyone! Zach here. I wanted to join this community to hopefully find some support and build a community driven RTS game. I am teaching myself C++ and UE5 to eventually start building out my game idea. I am new to game dev and have wanted to make games since I was a kid but joined the Air Force instead of going to college after High School. After 6 years, I got out with a bachelor's in business administration and self-taught technical skills in Microsoft Suite, VBA, and a few other business intelligence tools. I took a Python bootcamp a few years ago and transitioned into data science, which kind of rekindled my desire to program and make games. Hoping to find some support here and build an awesome game. I am relatively new to the genre but have really been enjoying it which is why I wanted to potentially make an RTS game. Looking forward to chatting with you all in the forums!
- Favourite RTS Game
- Warcraft 3 - I really like the Hero system in the game and a good story
- First RTS Experience
- Age of Empires 1 or 2 I think when I was younger
- Recent RTS Play
- I have downloaded about 50 games or so to research RTS mechanics game-by-game :) Main ones I am focusing on are Age of Empires 2-4, BAR, Age of Mythology: Retold, Godsworn, and Warcraft 3.
- Top RTS Recommendations
- I really like Godsworn and think there is a lot of potential for that game
