Trenches Of War - Side Scrolling RTS

...

Date: Fall 2013 - 2017
Skills Used: GameMaker, GML (Javascript-like), Digital Painting, Android, iOS, Steam

Trenches Of War was my first video game. I developed it as a college student with two friends. I served as the lead designer and programmer. Shane Draper created level content, music, and sound effects. Willem Ytsema created visual art.

The game is a side-scrolling real time strategy game in a World War I setting. Players need to recruit units to counter the enemy and strategically advance to conquer enemy trenches and make it across the map.

It is available for free on PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. It has over 2 million downloads across platforms and very positive reviews.
