RTS Engine

As laid out in Everlasting Games, part of Spicy Lobster's long term ambition is to build moddable game engines for specific game archetypes. One such archetype engine was Warcraft 3, a top-down RTS/RPG engine capable of making anything from a tower defense to a MOBA or even an online RPG.

Tiny bit by bit, we are re-making this type of top-down strategy-adventure engine (on top of Godot), beginning in 2D pixels just like Warcraft 2 and many of its precedessors.

Shotcaller is our primary (but not only) means of shaping this engine because we follow the principle of 'Write Games, Not Engines'. Other collaborators are helping us shape this engine with their own respective games (mods/expansions), inspired by the likes of Dark Deeds, Founding of Durotar, and even Warlords Battlecry.

The shared engine-layer for all these games will be licensed as MIT or similar.

This prototype was made with Godot Engine.

Previous iteration: Shotcaller made in minigene, a Rust-lang terminal-first engine.
