CnC Remastered Collection
This project is a real-time strategy game engine and a corresponding set of custom content toolkits. It provides a software framework for rendering 2D environments, executing gameplay logic, and managing the distribution of community-created assets.
The system includes a dedicated game map editor for designing custom terrain and modifying game levels. It utilizes a data-driven map framework to store terrain data in structured files and employs an asset-based content distribution system to package these modifications for workshop integration.
Gameplay consistency is maintained through a game logic library, which uses detached functional rules and external libraries to ensure core mechanics behave consistently across different environments.
Features
- Map Editing Tools - Ships a dedicated game map editor for designing custom terrain and modifying game levels.
- Real-Time Strategy Engines - Provides a complete software framework for rendering 2D environments and executing gameplay logic specifically for real-time strategy games.
- Game Editors - Provides a visual tool for designing custom 2D terrain and modifying game levels.
- Logic Libraries - Provides a library of detached functional rules to ensure consistent gameplay across environments.
- Map Frameworks - Utilizes a data-driven framework to store terrain data in structured files parsed by the engine.
- Environmental Design - Enables the design of detailed environments and landscapes within a dedicated editor.
- Terrain Design - Provides tools for creating detailed custom environments and landscapes to be shared with other players.
- Map Definitions - Uses structured data files to define level layouts and terrain, decouple from the game engine binary.
- Gameplay Mechanics Standardization - Ensures consistent game behavior across environments by standardizing mechanics via external libraries.
- Gameplay Rule Enforcement - Maintains gameplay consistency by executing core functional rules through downloadable and interchangeable logic libraries.
- Grid-Based World Maps - Implements a grid-based coordinate system to represent game worlds and manage terrain properties.
- Map Editors - Provides a dedicated map editor for creating and modifying game levels and terrain layouts.
- Logic Library Execution - Runs core game rules and mechanics through detached libraries to maintain consistent behavior.
- Custom Content Creation - Provides a toolkit for authoring new game modes, rules, and assets for community distribution.
- Content Creation Toolkits - Provides a set of utilities for designing environments and managing assets for community distribution.
- Game Logic Scripting - Implements game mechanics and rules that can be defined and updated via external libraries.
- Portable Asset Distributions - Packages and distributes custom maps and environmental modifications through a community workshop.
- Asset Distribution Packages - Provides a system for packaging custom levels and environment modifications into downloadable assets for workshop integration.
- Game Logic Controllers - Manages entity collections and behavioral rules through a dedicated logic layer.
- Logic-Rendering Decouplers - Separates functional gameplay rules from the rendering engine to allow logic updates independently.
