A downloadable game for Windows

I apologize for not including any information on this game earlier, and I understand why everyone was unable to launch the game. I know that it is unfinished but I decided to upload what I had anyway.

I originally thought that an RTS game could fit the theme because each unit has a one-time use, but the end result doesn't seem to fit the theme in my opinion.

This game is made for multiplayer. For the first version of the game, there is no way to connect to an IP Address other than the local host. The updated version has an input field for the IP Address to connect to, and the default value is 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Make sure you forward port 39781 if you are running a server that you want other computers to connect to, and if you don't know how to do this google "port forwarding" for your kind of internet router.


How To Launch The Game:

  1. Launch the Server file (Barts.zip/Server/Barts.exe).  When the server starts the console may display a bunch of Shader errors, however the Server isn't ready until the console displays "Server started on 39781" which may take a minute. If you try to connect to the server on the client before the server is ready then nothing will happen, and I think this is the problem everyone has been having.
  2. Launch the Client file (Barts.zip/Server/Barts.exe). Make sure that the server is fully started, then enter the server's IP Address and your username, and then press the connect button.  If the server is not fully started or cannot be found then nothing will happen.
  3. At this point, you will be put into a lobby screen that displays the connected clients' usernames and a ready button. When everyone in the lobby presses the ready button the game will start. Note that this can be done with only one player.

How To Play The Game:

  1. Camera Controls: Move (W/A/S/D), Rotate (Arrow Keys), Go Up/Down (PageUp/PageDown)
  2. When the game starts you need to place your "home base" by clicking wherever you want it placed on the terrain. Once your base is placed, a unit will spawn there every 60 seconds.
  3. To select units: hold right mouse button and drag. A selection box should appear, and every unit inside the box when the right mouse button is released will be selected.
  4. Moving Units and Chopping Trees: If you left click on a spot on the terrain while units are selected then the selected units  will move to that position. If you left click on a tree while units are selected then the selected units will start chopping trees.
  5. Crafting: If you have selected any units, then the side menu should have a crafting button. If you click that you will have the option to craft either an axe or a bow for each selected unit.
  6. Mining Terrain: If you have NOT selected any units, then the side menu should have a mining button. Click that and then click new box, then click a spot on the terrain where you want to mine, and then you can change the size of the box by clicking and dragging on the cube's faces. When you are happy with your mining box click confirm. If you select units and then left click on the mining box the selected units will start to mine the terrain inside the box.
