A free real-time strategy game 'OpenHV' play review that allows you to enjoy the deep strategy of base defense with simple operation

youtu.be/Go0v-yzrRxA is a small mini-game where you have to collect crates to get new units. It has full bot support, so you can play it offline. It is much more fun online with friends, though!
The AI bots know a lot about the game. Prepare for engineers to steal your mining towers, orbital drops behind the front lines and nukes getting thrown onto your base: youtu.be/JPlglQtK1gY
My plan is to have vastly different and interesting missions, so this experiment adds a Tower Defense: youtu.be/f9OQ3qeO8Eo
RTS without war and violence? This is an experiment. You can play as firefighters: youtu.be/s3P3gpBZmGA in one special mission.
Ice River may have been an original Hard Vacuum map. It is based on a mini map from a screenshot or mockup posted by @danctheduck at lostgarden.home.blog/2005/03… Playthrough: youtu.be/n-fHfyLbb0Y
Playthrough of the first (tutorial) OpenHV mission youtu.be/ca8pi8cvP0Q based on the Hard Vacuum sprites liberated by @danctheduck Soundtrack by @TimBeekMusic
This is definitely not from @danctheduck's design documents, but I always wanted to do an RTS about emergency services rather than war.
As @danctheduck's Hard Vacuum specs speak of flowing water and dynamic terrain, I made some experiments.
moddb.com/mods/openhv/images… We figured that the destruction of the map is a major element in Hard Vacuum, so @Dzierzan23 added some missing border tiles and I improved the performance of destructible forests significantly in the latest release.

Remember the game we made from @danctheduck's open pixel art? We added a lot in the recent months.

stackoverflow.com/questions/… is quite an annoying default setting of @EclipseJavaIDE but also easy to turn off or rebind. I put "hyperlinking" to CTRL + ALT to keep my sanity. Time to change the defaults?
