First preview of assets

Here are some of the model designs that I have been working on for the game. The models will all be pre-rendered and used as sprites in the game. As can be seen I haven't added textures or materials yet but the structures are taking shape.

Blog started!

I've started this blog to record the development of my final year university project. It will be an online multiplayer real time strategy (RTS) game which will be played through a web browser. The game will be written in Java and aims to feature multiplayer as well as a challenging computer AI as a single player option.

The name 'Warring States' refers to the period of time that the game will be set. This was a time in China's history where the country was split into seven seperate states, each at war for the control of the known world. In multiplayer games, each players will choose which faction they want to play as, and the single player game will feature a campaign mode which will follow the state of Qin who aim to unite the country.

I hope to update this blog whenever I implement anything particularly interesting. I plan to release a public beta for testing when the game reaches a stable state.
