Unity WebGL Player | Hex World Generator

Introduction

Summer of 1997, night, probably playing it for the 20th time, trying to optimize my results - the shareware version of "Fantasy General" by SSI. It had very few levels and it did not even allowed you to save the game, still these are some of my fondest memories growing up in the nineties.

I've always dreamt of creating the same magic in glorious 2D graphics, fortunately the ecosystem and technology now is accessible enough to make it a reality.

Thanks for checking out this early tech demo!

How To?

1. random map Generation

Choose your biome from the drop-dow. Adjust the amount of water, forest & mountains and press "Go". Play around with random map generation - no two generated maps are the same!

2. Unit Placement

Select the unit from the drop down. Left click on any cell to place the selected unit.

3. Unit Movement

Select a placed unit, move it to any tile in the allowed highlighted range.

4. Camera Movement

Grab (right mouse down) to move the map. Mouse wheel to zoom-in & out. You are all set, use full screen mode for the best experience (button at the bottom right of the Unity Webplayer). All the best!
