Air Power Domination

Introduction:

Hi, this is my FYP group project made for my Game Design & Development Studio 3 called "Air Power Domination".  It is a LAN 4 Vs 4 RTS game where you have to get to play in different military airbase vocations and cripple the enemy's airbase as a team. You have to work in a team, communicate with one another and remain calm in contingencies. Netcode for Gameobjects and Dissonance Voice Chat were used to develop the LAN game. Hardware components involve a switch with 8 ports and 8 ethernet cables.  This game is made in-collaboration with the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF).

Game's Story Description:

Air Power Domination brings the concept of Battleship into a unique 4 vs 4 Real-Time Strategy multiplayer game where each member wears the hat of a different airbase military vocation to learn to collaborate, communicate, problem-solve, stay resourceful while calm, to resolve incoming contingencies. The team that successfully paralyzes the opponent's air supremacy will emerge victoriously!
