Squad Commander 2

[shurijo]

Vision
Create a turn based, 3D, strategy game. The game will use small elite teams (squads) to compete against AI or other players. Squads will be built using a point system (like Warhammer, etc.)

Goals

• Single player game (multiplayer maybe, but much later)
• Very basic AI
• Hexagon tiling system = done
• Terrain loading (heightmaps) = done
• Multiple cameras (BirdsEye, Character level) = WIP
• Toggle multiple terrain texture layers on/off (such as grid, etc.)
• Use othogonal projection
• 4 Turn Phases (movement, shooting, hand-to-hand, recovery) per turn = WIP
• Re-texture the quake 2 models
• At least 3 maps with 3 different scenerios
• Actually finish a game this time

Technologies

• C#
• Irrlicht 1.0 (update at Irrlicht releases)

I've started this game multiple times spanning 3 different languages (C++, VB.NET, C#) and a few 3D engines (Irrlicht, Ogre, GDI+, TrueVision, DirectX, etc.). However, I have never completed it in any of those versions. So my goal is to actually stick with the project and finish it this time.

Have you ever played Necromunda? Its another game from GamesWorkshop (I said Warhammer because Necromunda's rules are based on WH rules and more people know what I mean when I say WH.). I'm using those rules and guildines to drive the project, but the setting will be more military instead of gang warfare, etc.
