Scorched3D incorporates lively, fully destructible 3D landscapes that include animated jets, naval vessels, water and even birds, with detailed tanks and projectiles and stunning visual effects.

A simple turn-based artillery game and also a real-time strategy game in which players can counter each others' weapons with other creative accessories, shields and tactics. Test your skill in timing, aiming and judgement of distance, move around on the landscape, or outsmart your opponent economically.

Features

• Realisticly rendered 3D landscape environments
• Real-time or turn-based artillery combat
• Online or offline, single or multi-player play
• Mod support for various gaming styles
• Tournament and stats championships

Gameplay

Learning how to play is easy, just point the turret, adjust power and trajectory, select a weapon – and shoot!

Manage your inventory of weapons with the prize money you win during each round of combat. Learn the basic controls using the tutorial mode, or set up your own game by customising dozens of economy and environmental conditions to your liking, or simply play online immediately at one of the various public servers.

You can play with up to twenty-four other players at a time, mixing computer players with humans on both randomly generated landscapes and user-designed maps. Scorched3D comes bundled with Apocalypse mod, which offers enhanced levels of weaponry.

Compiling

Linux

Scorched3D uses an Autoconf build process, derived from the Visual Studio project files

• Run createAMMakefile.pl from its directory to create the necesary Makefile.am from the Visual Studio project files

  cd scripts
  perl createAMMakefile.pl
  cd ..

• Reconfigure with autoreconf -fiv
• Configure with ./configure ...
• Build with make ...
• Install with make install ...

A new Meson build process has been added. It's under development, but it is able to build the Linux release. Look in .github/workflows/ to see examples of how to use it.

macOS 🚧

The current plan is to try to build a macOS release using Meson. See #2.

Windows 🚧

The included Visual Studio project files have not been tested.

The current plan is to try to build a Windows release using Meson. See #2.
