Looking for help, Getting started with management/builder type game.

[Vaupell]

Hi all

I wanted to try something new, such as a management / builder game.

Where i get stuck in my scoping of this, i cannot find any guides or assets to help me with a few minor but important steps before starting.

I’m looking for a guide how to setup a tile system, imagine city builders, even if you dont see it
most of them have their maps / terrains in tiles, all good here… solved with a terrain generator…
But when it comes to having some objects (buildings, etc) i need them to fit on the tiles, that is where i don’t see anything around anywhere.

Been checking these forums, asset store and udemy for even something similar.
I was even looking for real time strategy guides/instructions because part of a RTS system i would use, like the building part, and resource management.

Any suggestions?

It really would be easier in long run, to build such system on your own.

But you can look at. I never used it, but I know it exists.

Unity RTS Engine

It handles map creation, factions, AI, buildings, units, combat, tasks, resources, UI, singleplayer, multiplayer and much more! Available on the Asset Store Features: Maps & Factions: Create and customize unique maps.

Also, look into Unity tile map.

There are some discussions on the forum as well.

Ahh thank you for the unity RTS engine link, I will look into that.
The thing is, i never worked with this or things like this before, so it’s like venturing into new adventures,
and based on experience i love to do some scoping/research before just jumping into it, based on experience.

Reguarding the tile map, i have used that in other projects and are quite familiar with it, but only for development building of levels etc.

EDIT ****
Just looked through the asset of the RTS engine and saw the videos, the building system is very much something i can use the war part not at all.

Thank you again.
