Game Story

A new planet 'StarMinera' has been found, and you are in control of a team of robots who are sent to the planet. Very little is known about the planet, except that there are large amounts of variable minerals scattered around the planet. Your mission is to gather as many minerals as possible while exploring the planet.

There are rumors that at least one additional team of robots, owned by a competing mining company, have also been sent to StarMinera to gather minerals. You gave been given permission to destroy these other robots, as they will likely attack you in order to maximize their own profits. You have been given state-of-the-art robotics technology in order to properly defend yourself.

Game Description

ART(SG) is a 2-D Real-Time Strategy game (tactical simulation) developed by Jeff Wisgo in C++ (roughly 18,000 lines of code) using the Allegro graphics library. Most of the graphics are ray-traced, using either Blender, or Povray (with Moray). It shares many things in common with classic RTS games such as Starcraft (though it is not a Starcraft clone), and includes features such as:

Challenging single player campaign with 9+ levels
Over 15 different AI types, to provide a challenge against even the seasoned RTS player
Each unit gains experience and can increase level, which improves stats
Voice (Unit voices, alerts, etc.) and background music
Minimap
Full-screen tactical map
Unit groups (including UI buttons for group and auto-group assignment system)
Load/Save functionality
Record/Replay functionality
Built in level editor
"Defend Challenge" special game mode
Event alerts (building complete, etc.)
Player statistics
Randomly generated maps
Ground decals (blood, laser blast marks, etc.)
2-player multiplayer support over TCP/IP (* currently being refactored)

ART is currently closed-source shareware, but I am considering making the game open source under GPL, depending on developer interest. If you are interested in contributing to the project in the form of development, art, testing, or even ideas, please send Jeff an email at locksleyu (at) gmail.com. He loves to hear from people! (:
