My first major project, Battleships Forever was done over a period of two years. The custom ship maker for Battleships Forever spawned an active community that creates and shares their own custom ships. Battleships Forever is a fully-featured RTS game. One of my objectives in doing the game was to personally design and implement a large range of features that we take for granted in a modern RTS game.
