Gold Baron

Thanks for downloading Gold Baron Alpha! Currently it's in the

testing/prototype phase. There will be bugs. There isn't much

in the way of actual story integrated into the game other than

a few text bits here and there.

***************CONTROLS***************************

WASD move the camera forward/back/left/right.

Mouse Right Click and Drag will rotate the camera.

Mouse Left Click will allow you to interact with the world.

*****************Game Idea***********************

You're an alien who crash landed at the dawn of human

civilization. Your ship is programmed to not leave the

planet until you have acquired at least 20000 gold units.

Your ship will repair itself in the background while you

deploy buildings for the natives to work in. Each

building has a specific function that it excels at.

Example: Sawmill is great for wood production. When you

click the hammer icon on the bottom toolbar it will

open the Build Menu. This will show you your building

options currently. Your first goal is to build a set of

these buildings that can work in equilibrium with each

other and create surplus. Once you have acquired enough

resources you can unlock the inventor's office to go

into phase 2. This unlocks the ability to do research.

At this time you should see the book is no longer red.

Once you open the research menu you can click to drag 

left/right to go between the production research and

the building unlocks. For production you will need to

buy research points for 50g each. There is no limit to 

how high you can increase production at the moment.

The building unlocks are limited, but you need quite a 

bit of gold to unlock them all. 

****************CONTACT**************************

There are some bugs 

which is to be expected as this is a prototype that I

have worked on in my free time. If you do find what 

seems to be a bug. Just send me an email with the subject

line "BUG REPORT" and list what you were doing at the 

time and any buildings that were placed. Screenshots help

as well. You can send the email to me through the email 

listed in the readme file!

If there is enough interest in the game then I will take

it from the prototype phase and start refining the game

and giving it some good polish. Once again thank you for taking

the time to play and I appreciate any feedback you have!
