WARS3D (working title)

My pet project:

A turn-based strategy inspired by classic Advance Wars.
The project was started on June 2022 and is being worked on by a single developer in free time after day job.
Heavily work in progress. All visual assets were done from scratch using Blender.
Developed in Unity. C# scripts are done in Rider IDE.

Planned features

Two real-world based factions.
A range of ground units: infantry squad, anti-tank squad, self-propelled howitzer, multiple rocker launcher artillery, light tank, main battle tank, APC, reconnaissance unit (M-ATV truck). See concept art here.

A roster of playable characters (commanding officers) with unique abilities, for example: instant repair of all units, increased artillery units' range, decreased cost of units' production and other.

An extended range of units, including aircraft and naval units: fighter jet, bomber, attack helicopter, transport helicopter, submarine, transport ship, destroyer.
Multiplayer support.
In-game level editor (this feature will be very tricky to implement).

Financial support: currently I work at a day job at YAGER and it takes the majority of my time and energy, so the only productive time for the game I have is on weekends. The game of even this scale is quite time consuming especially for a solo developer, so being able to work on a project full time is a totally outstanding goal to achieve. I plan to continue working on it in my free time. There is still quite some content that needs to be produced. Thankfully the foundation is figured out: game code is already done and looks solid, benchmark art assets are already there. I plan to work at least for 6 months full-time in order to create a playable demo featuring main menu, one polished map, all the ground units, 2 commanding officers and a simple story conveyed through a couple of in-game dialogues.
Promotion of a game: unfortunately I don't have enough experience and time putting effort into promotion of a game. Making promo materials like gameplay videos and articles is something I can do though.

The core of game logic is done featuring saving and loading a game (see how a save file looks), turn-based gameplay core logic, an implementation of a simple AI (see the AI evaluating all the possible unit actions).
Graphics benchmark scene is done in the engine (see the videos). The ground truth visual reference is done in Blender: see here.
I created a custom level editor to prototype levels and gameplay features quickly. Currently is supports features: edit tiles and units, edit trigger locations, in-editor play, saving and loading.

AI taking control of both players and making all the moves automatically.

Launching a missile at the bridge causing it to collapse.

I created a custom in-game development console which became a fundamental tool: CommandLine.
