Hibame's RTS

Description

Hibame's Real Time Strategy (HRTS) is a modification for Garry's Mod 9 that released in 2006. Garry's Mod is a sandbox mod for the Source Engine. Unlike most normal games there aren't any predefined goals, players are given tools and are left to entertain themselves. Garry's Mod also contained the ability to script in Lua to modify the game and take advantage of the Source Engine in limited ways. HRTS used the Lua scripting implementation and modified the game to act as a real time strategy game by use of Half-Life2 assets and AI. The Garry's Mod modification allowed several players to compete for victory, allowing anyone to join the fight mid game. HRTS was featured in the PC Gamer UK May 2006 magazine.
