PerimetR

PERIMETR: The Dead Hand Protocol

This is a sandbox prototype, not a finished game.

PERIMETR is an early-stage experiment in real-time strategy on a global scale, inspired by DEFCON/SUPCOM/C&C/RED ALERT...

Right now it's a technical playground:
you can spawn units, move them across a world map, and watch the simulation run. There's no campaign, no win condition, no polish.

I'm sharing it as-is to track progress and get early feedback. Expect bugs, placeholder art, and missing features.

If you're curious about the systems behind an RTS (pathfinding, unit AI, map tools) more than a complete game experience, this is for you. Take a look :)

And do not hesitate to post comments!
