Farwatch

Made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 59

Farwatch

Farwatch is a small RTS prototype where you lead a force beyond the frontier to investigate.

Gameplay

Guide your units through hostile lands and do not stray from the light.

Farm resources and build an army.

Reclaim abandoned outposts, build up your forces, and hold your ground against what emerges from the dark.

Units & Threats

• Swordsmen hold the line
• Bowmen strike from range
• Light Wardens keeps your army under command
• Workers build and harvest resources

• Wolves stalk the edges
• Something worse follows the signal.

Controls

Standard RTS mouse controls with a grid-based hotkey layout:

• QWER / ASDF - Command units, build, or research using a grid system
• Ctrl + Key - Assign units or buildings to control groups
• Shift + Ctrl + Key - Add to existing control groups

Notes

The web version might be laggier than the Windows version.

The biggest things missing right now due to time are music and sound, along with proper pathfinding and a minimap.
