Synthesis, conceptualization and development of real-time strategy game prototype for mobile and PC platforms

Abstract

This project is an elaboration of a real-time mobile strategy video game that consists of a simplification of the classics of real-time strategy (RTS) genre from PC platforms through a hexagonal grid, a simplification of the resource system and a dynamic user interface (UI) system. The resource system includes troops that implement artificial intelligence for their behaviors and act inside the hexagonal grid. This behavior is separated into two areas: individual units that form part of groups, and groups themselves which are assigned to one hexagonal grid. The resources system also includes a building system that allows placing structures in the grid. The grid only appears in the areas where the player can interact with.
