APOC WARS | mobile game

At gloops INTERNATIONAL グループス we built one of the first Real-Time Strategy games of the year! Originally published by mobage.

In the Apocalyptic Wars “Apoc Wars” – In this dystopian world, there is a war for resources and technical prowess. Develop your base and improve its defenses from raiders. You will also need to train your infantry and mechanized units. Launch attacks upon enemy bases or your peers and liberate their resources.

One of the challenges of this game was maintaining a Comic-Book like illustrative style to all the 3D elements within the build, recon and combat environments. The Toon-Render, Outlines and use of the Camera inside Unity helped make that possible.
