Forest RTS – Unfinished Game

Decided to release an unfinished game that will never be finished. RIP. The game started as a for-fun game jam to test out working with a couple friends of mine. In the end we ended up working for 2-3 weeks before deciding to move on to another project. Read more about the game here.

I ended up enjoying the human AI quite a bit, and it grew to a decent size! This was my first time implementing things like A*, or a semi-complex state machine, and the end it was total fun. Here’s an explanation of the human behavior in case anyone was curious (taken straight from the source code);

enum State
	{
		// Looks for another more important state to switch to, in order of priority:
		//	-Take log back to next house to build
		//	-Find a log to grab
		//	-Find a tree to chop down
		//	-Find a tree to walk to
		//	-Wander around
		STANDING,

		// Moves from one tile to another, arrives back at transition_to_state
		TRANSITIONING,

		// Picks a random adjacent tile to walk to, forwards transition_to_state to TRANSITIONING
		WANDER,

		// Just stands there for a number of seconds
		IDLE,

		// Cuts down a tree until he gets tired
		CHOP_TREE,

		// Goes to house centroid, once he finds a house, or centroid, he idles
		TIRED_GOTO_HOUSE,

		// Signifies the human is holding a log, goes to the construction site to place the log
		CARRY_LOG,
	};
