This is an ongoing project to make a superior RTS game in flash. The name 'Commodore' implies the engine. Subsequent versions of the engine will be titled and released as individual games of increasing complexity, ultimately reaching the state of a fully blown Real Time Strategy game.

Commodore, a project.

Note: This post will be updated from time to time to include up to date information.

What is Commodore?

Commodore is the codename of a project I am working to develop strategy games for flash. My intent is one of multiple tiers, the first being to release a superior Turret Defense game.

Ultimately, Commodore is the production of an engine. It will be substantiated in the form of many different strategy games based on the every-improving core Commodore engine.

Project History:
The current engine has been in production since 8.23.07, which can be described as it's official birthday. Up until the last few weeks I could only afford several hours a week to work on it. But now development resumes and we should see a release soon. The current version is v0.6.
