About This Game

Alternate Reality. Year 2044.

In 1991 one of the Soviet undercover secret experimental programs succeeded. Rewriting part of the human code. Stronger, more durable, more resistant and most importantly less intelligent. The ultimate worker, fighter and servant. It’s 2044 and the Soviet regime has been rebuilt. Not without problems.

Discover what lies beyond deceivingly nice words and what kind of evil experiments have been done to the people.

You start as a lower-ranking commander ready to advance the nation’s defenses. Complete objectives and missions to get access to higher level and more powerful futuristic weaponry.

Gameplay

Red Conflict 2044 is a sci-fi survival RTS. Starting with 1 playable faction.

• Vertical warfare. The unique terrain building system allows building in all dimensions, even on walls with buildings that support it.

• World close to ours. The world is based on an alternate reality close to this one. This means you get to experience advanced and cheap primitive drones, infantry and other military equipment. War is relentless and the one who can out-resource the other wins.
  Earn what you spend. Complete objectives, hunt enemies to earn additional income and funding, but beware, resources are finite.

• Tech progression. Between missions unlock the tech tree and request access to different weapons of immense power based on the success on the battlefield. Start with pre-war equipment. End with super weapons.

• Chain explosions. One detonation triggers the next. Build the chain, watch it run. Create catastrophic battlefield eating explosions that can devour enemy armies.

• Strategic combos. Some of the units have strategic capabilities that can be combined to cause mass havoc among enemy lines.

• Hold the line. Survive escalating waves to advance the campaign.

Campaign

Alternate war told through dark comedy that feels familiar. See how the corrupted fascist regime spins its ridiculous lines of propaganda.

Solo Developed

Red Conflict 2044 is a solo project. The terrain, targeting, turret, and explosion systems have been in development for nearly a decade as hobby projects. Everything else was built around them.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Building a game of this scale as a solo indie developer is a gigantic quest. To bring this vision to life, I utilized AI to help manage the immense development load.

I have used AI to help create placeholder assets as visual guides to get the final look and feel, some initial base assets that have since been modified to be game-ready, and, in some rare cases, game elements that did not require further polishing. I have worked hard to ensure the overall quality is as high as possible, given the limitations with funding, personnel and time.

What wasn't made with AI:
The core game design, idea and execution. Some of the game code, performance optimizations, final polishing, and most final assets. Additionally, some of the development tools, such as the terrain optimizer/generator, targeting, turret, and explosion systems, have been under development as personal hobby projects for nearly a decade. The game was completely visualized, balanced, play tested, and designed by people (the fun part).

What is heavily AI-generated:

Audio: The audio concepts and prompts were written by me, generated using AI algorithms, and then manually polished where needed. Real human work was required to orchestrate, mix, time, and fit these audio clips seamlessly into the game.

Some textures: In a few rare cases, a generated texture was used "as-is" and did not require any additional post-processing or optimization of any kind (excluding cropping or some basic photoshopping).

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Game contains war elements, such as shooting others, explosions, buildings and body parts blowing up.
