Factions is a minimalist Action-RTS on a small 3D world - Take control of the planet to win!


How to Play:

Objective: Capture all bases in the world to win

Instructions:

  • Be the only player near a base to capture it
  • Bases spawn pawns
  • Left click + drag over red pawns to select them. Then right click / E to send them
  • WASD / Arrow keys to move the camera
  • Space to slow time. If you want to play "hard mode" try beating the game without slowing time ;)
  • R to restart level
  • For the best view, go full-screen by clicking the blue button on the bottom right just below the game


Notes on the World Dominator medal:

  • Start from "New Game" to reset the timer
  • Time spent on menus / victory / defeat is not counted
  • Using slow time only slows the game, not the timer
  • You can see your time up to that point on the bottom-right of each victory / defeat screen


Update 1.09:

  • You can now press E to send units
  • Added a settings menu
  • (Settings menu) Added a setting for inverting the camera move direction
  • (Settings menu) Added a setting for Low Graphics mode to increase FPS on lower-end machines


Update 1.10:

  • Optimized some CPU usage


Update 1.11:

  • Added a colorblind menu to the settings screen
  • Added a colorblind option to customize the colors for each player
  • Added a colorblind option to modify the saturation of the environment
  • Added a colorblind option to display markers on top of your pawns


This prototype was originally created in a weekend! I plan on making it into a full game! You can sign up for the Alpha here!
