Play the test build
This is the live M2.5 test build — a working economy plus construction. Send villagers to gather wood, berries, gold and stone, train more at the Town Center, then build: Houses raise your population room, Farms grow food your villagers harvest. The villager is already our own original art; the landscape still uses clearly-marked placeholder test art while our own sprites replace it, piece by piece. The game opens fullscreen, on its own page.
Why Skirmish
Big strategy games want new hardware, a huge download and a store account. Skirmish is the opposite: a complete little RTS that lives in a browser tab — for anyone, on any machine.
Same game, every machine
The simulation is pure Rust with fixed-point math: same seed, same commands, same result — on every computer. That is what makes fair multiplayer and replays possible.
Runs on anything
One build for every computer. Only the visuals scale to your machine — the simulation never does — so an old laptop and a gaming rig play on even terms.
Original & clean-room
Every sprite and every line of code is made for Skirmish, from scratch. Inspired by the classics — never copied from them.
Built in the open
The source is on GitHub and the game grows in public, milestone by milestone. Play it, read the code, follow along — or fork it.
Roadmap
Small milestones, shipped one at a time. The economy and construction are playable today — combat is next.
