Project Caliber

Project Caliber is a Realtime Strategy game and an homage to a Nintendo 64 classic; Ogre Battle: Persons of Lordly Caliber.

The game puts you in command of several squads and allows you to customize them, from the positions, formations, unit classes, attacks, and more. Battles will be fought, fortresses will fall, fireballs will fly.

Supported Platforms: Windows & MacOSX Dektop (Keyboard/Mouse), and PS4 Dualshock.
Developer Note: Other gamepads may be supported but only PS4 Dualshock has been tested.

Note: This is a v0.0.0 release, meaning that it is a prototype. A "proof of concept", if you will. We do our best to create a fun and stable experience, but bugs and visual issues are expected in this version. Be that as it may, feel free to report anything that is not on the known issues list.
