v5: Battle Drones goes 3D
This is a vibe-coded Command & Conquer style Real Time Strategy game called Battle Drones. The game can be played on mobile and desktop browsers and supports multiplayer between devices with microphones in range of each other. The game features multiple play modes, several maps (including a random map generator) and has been through numerous iterations to improve gameplay.
The game was initially created to recapture the magic of the 1995 Commander & Conquer game and has evolved significantly over multiple versions. The game includes features such as varied terrain, new unit types, building mechanics, adaptive music, unit voices, and an announcer. The game also includes new modes such as Last Stand survival waves and an 8-mission Ops campaign.
The game's progression includes heroes, an after-action report with awards, a career, 7 mutators, and a Daily Op.
