Strategerms

What is it?

Strategerms is an RTS style game, which places the player as Commander-In-Chief of the next great plague! Manage your resources correctly to lead your army of germs to victory over a small laboratory, and eventually the entire planet! Using strategic planning, intuition, and cunning, players will face off in a variety of arenas against a plethora of pathogenic opponents. May the best germ win!

Goals:

Strategerms attempts to blend the biological world with the RTS genre. Controlling small organisms is a natural part of RTS style games, and it felt only natural to take that to the next literal level. The game will provide a wide array of different scenarios of which the player will have to always be thinking one step ahead.

Inspiration:

The game is largely inspired from other successful RTS style games that have existed in the past.

The nature of the unit movement and how units interact in space with each other is very similar to the construction of the cell.

The mechanics and constructs of the genre lend themself to micro-biological combat and we as a team are confident that we can bridge that gap seamlessly.
