Love how the units and environment looks. If I wanted to make a game like this, should I just follow tutorials on making sprites etc?

Hi, a game like this would be a pretty big undertaking.

I would suggest using tutorials to learn Unity. Also, you'll need a workable understanding of C#.

I'm convinced that this isn't using 2d sprites for building and characters, but rather pixelated 3d models. There are shaders that will do that work for you.

Lastly, if you have a pretty good grasp on Unity, there are addons you can buy where someone has pretty much programmed a blank RTS game for you. Then you'd need to fill in the blanks and edit and add code as needed.

Yeah for sure this game is a testament to the dev's dedication.

I'm curious why you think that? The discrete 45 degree rotation of units made me think these might actually be sprites, but I guess it'd be fairly easy for an experienced programmer to restrict a 3d model's rotation like that. I also love pre-rendered graphics and wanted to make a game with graphics similar to this.

It does use 3d modelrs that are rendered into 2d spritesheets which are then processed. So both are kinda right : ) Its faster and cheaper way to make 'pixelart'

Hi, thanks for replying. I'm not sure that's true. Would you mind saying how you're sure of this?
