Bombs and Bullets Version 0.01 Released

Bombs and Bullets, or BnB, is a real time strategy game in the style of the Command and Conquer series, in particular taking inspiration from Command and Conquer Generals. You can construct buildings, build units, and destroy the enemy base.

The current version is very bare bones, but we're working on a lot of new features and assets that will be added in the near future.

Current major features include:

• Unit and Building construction, attack and destruction. (repair and healing not yet added)
• Supply collection and spending.
• Infantry carrying vehicles and building garrisons.
• Infantry units each have individual names and portraits. (This will be expanded on in future.)
• Deployable artillery units
• Map Editor
• LAN Multiplayer

This is the first version, so there is no functioning enemy AI at the moment, but LAN multiplayer does work. You can play the game with another player either on the same wifi network, or through the aid of Hamachi. You can, if you want, play a single-player game on a map with no AI and just play to test out the game. The AI will have a contraction yard, builder and supply unit to destroy. 

Some pointers for gameplay: For fans of Command and Conquer: Generals, the building functions might seem similar. You must select a builder unit first, then, if you have enough money and if your tech requirements are met, can you build buildings. Also, the key to deploy and retract artillery units is "t". Everything else is fairly standard CnC controls.

There is a functioning map editor with a small tile set, but very few objects other than the default faction's military assets. More will be added in the future. If you host a multiplayer game with a custom map. Any player joining that game will automatically download that map.

This version is more to give a taste of the game. We wanted to release it now because there are several major features coming down the line that will take some time to complete. In fact, the next version will be quite a bit different with the addition of terrain.

Do give it a try and tell us what you think in the comments below. Keep in mind that this is the first version.

A like, a retweet, a download, a comment, a donation, or any form of support is highly appreciated.
