of course everything needs time, you have to be patient

If you are too patient it will take just too much we don't know if you will be able to see the finish. And time is a very limited resource. You have what you have no more and no less. What we cand find more are peoples so we spare some time, energy, efort.

I'm not saying that you can not handle RTS. But the conexion between objects is very complex. And there are many units what are interactinc with every unit in the game. ( slow performace).
Have you tried to draw the classes, the interaction between them and thinking just how to achive that. (definition etc... that's the start.)
When i begin making games i was only programing linear. I was using some peudo OOP but it wasn't OPP. After i start 3d programing and see how fast is Irrlicht i started to do more OOP in my programing. I'm still doing OOP programing and 3d programing for less than half of year.

You have to make many models(low poly), texture them ... and that take's time.

Looks amazing!

But you should really make the 'console' type thing on the bottom, instead of on the right. Red Alert sucks in that sense, where Starcraft/WC3 prevails

Can you say how the placement of the menu is afecting the gameplay? Personaly i'm an Starcraft maniac player

.
But i put the menu this whay because it is alowing the maximum area of game vizibility. (+40 000 pixels (an 200/200 rectangle, of curse not they are not that way distribute)).
Warcraft I, II have side menu's. Meybe blizzard have good reasons to change them to the bottom, or is only an artistic effect.

Now you can download the game.

I'm realy expecting sugestions, especially for gameplay. The network have some bugs but i will fix them quickly.
Now let's see the RTS developers what they tking about the cost of tehnology and ships. And the gameplay. How we can achieve it.

amazing game

i have only 1 critisisim
the textures look bad even when they are high res and professional quality in the zip file

try turning off mip maps
since your hard work and talent are being blurred by mipmaps

Code: Select all

driver->setTextureCreationFlag(video::ETCF_CREATE_MIP_MAPS, false);

keep up the work
i wish i was working on that project
