Creating my first RTS game, Project Ascension! Here’s what happened so far.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m an aspiring game developer working on my first-ever game, a 2D real-time strategy game tentatively named Project Ascension. This is a passion project where I’m learning everything as I go, and I wanted to share my progress with you.

I’m currently on day 3 of development, and so far, I’ve been focused on establishing the core mechanics. Here’s what I’ve accomplished:

• Basic unit selection and movement are functional!
• One placeholder unit sprite created (more to come).
• Working on ideas to make each faction feel unique.

I plan to post regular updates here, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions about the game! What features do you think are essential in an RTS, or what do you love most about the genre?

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any feedback or advice! 😊
