Complete Galactic Dominion (Spring 2011)

A networked, real-time strategy game written in Python. Check it out on github!

The Goal

The core concept of Complete Galactic Dominion is that each player begins with a world in a much larger universe. The ultimate goal is to develop and expand your civilization to create an intergalactic empire.

The Process

Without previous experience in game design, my team spent a lot of time researching game architectures, creating system diagrams, and working towards intermediate goals on the way to larger goals.

The Solution

We created a networked, real-time strategy game in Python complete with isometric graphics. Players could battle or compete for resources within a world in order to develop and expand their civilizations.

My Responsibilities

  • Development of the graphics engine
  • Development of asynchronous events (callbacks)
  • Design of networked information to allow for shared game state
