For The Swarm

Made for the College Game Jam

I'd love feedback on the concept of the game and whether people would like to see it developed further, in my head i'd like to see it as become like a mix between starcraft and factorio.

The theme for the jam was connection, and what's more connected than a ravenous hive mind constantly looking to expand? Grow your swarm by hunting 'animals' and then drive the human invaders out of your territory with overwhelming numbers.

My second game and first time making art and music assets as well as making an RTS.

Controls (mostly standard rts):

Camera: 

WASD = move

Hold left shift to move camera faster

Use mouse wheel to zoom in and out

Unit orders:

Left click to select units and drag selection box

Right click to move or attack if mouse is on enemy

Hold left control and click right mouse to issue move attack order(units attack anything on their way there)

No pathfinding? ah I think you'll find the units are actually blind, if they get stuck that's definitely on u and definitely not down to my inexperience in coding

Known Issues: 

Hunters will sometime move to the top right of the screen after beating an enemy, you can get around this by using move attack orders

Selection groups over about 150 may cause hunters within to ignore laws of physics and cause performance issues.

some humans have higher fire rates for some reason

Highlight colour for hunters when selected or holding biomass should be different as it doesn't really contrast with background

(I didn't have time to playtest so a few small bugs got by but I hope you still enjoy it!)
