Done in T2D in a day (with access to some art)

This is just an example of the power of T2D... did this in under a day.. probably somewhere from 10-14 hours of work (with access to some free sprites from Nauris :)
First credit given to Nauris' sprite pack (as you can see I used those)... to the other Bob on this forum, used a couple sound effects he so kindly offered... and the music is from an overflow free release from Tim Aste... :) the rest is mine, yes I own up to the simple renders made sprites lol...
I started coding at 10:10 AM, and finished at roughly 6 AM (of course plenty of breaks within)... Have an intro screen, an ending one, etc etc... didn't come out half bad :)
here it is (Windows only)
Mac Version - Thanks to Bob
Heres some pics of the progress

BTW, while you're obviously in Windows, the in-game GUI looks like Mac -- is that something you did yourself or is that a feature of T2D and its build-in stuff (sorry, I don't own it yet)?

Looks cool - you have accomplished a lot in a very short period of time!BTW, while you're obviously in Windows, the in-game GUI looks like Mac -- is that something you did yourself or is that a feature of T2D and its build-in stuff (sorry, I don't own it yet)?

Very good question, in fact you can set a property that will make the windows look like Mac or Windows by default (or you can make your own sets)... I just like the friendlieness of the Mac look vs the stark windows look lol :)T2D is amazingly powerful, thx, the game is simple but I'm very proud of it and of T2D lol :)

That looks fantastic Matthew! Great demonstration of how quick you can get up and running in the T2D environment. I always like sprite based RTSs.
