Alienshire

Alienshire is a classic-style real-time strategy game set in a familiar-looking landscape occupied by alien forces. Build your forces from a mothership, harvest biomass from the environment, and fight for control of the battlefield.

Command individual units or large groups, choose their orders and targets, and use positioning to gain an advantage. Success depends not only on producing more units, but on how you deploy and control them.

Scenarios

Playtest #1 - Tactical Etude (Live Now)

The first playable scenario is a fast tactical battle focused on precise unit control, tactical decision-making, and concentrating your forces against key targets.

Tactical Etude will also be included as one of the scenarios in the full game.

Playtest #2 - Standing Vigil (Coming Next)

Another short scenario, this time focused on resource management and defensive preparations. Unlike Tactical Etude, there will be no enemy Mothership. Instead, enemy forces will arrive unexpectedly, testing how well you've prepared your defences.

The Future of Alienshire

My ambition is to bring the spirit of classic RTS games like MegaGlest into a modern RTS.

Alienshire starts small, focusing on flying units and tactical combat. If the game gains enough interest, I'd love to expand it with ground units, more buildings, and deeper, longer-term strategy.

How far Alienshire grows will depend on player interest and feedback.
