Key takeaways
Makermint builds a playable 2D RTS from your description, with base building and unit combat.
RTS games made with Makermint are single-player against AI opponents, not live online matches.
Every RTS gets a share link, and you can publish it to the Makermint community.
Real-time strategy games put you in command of an army where every second counts. Everything happens simultaneously: you're gathering resources, constructing buildings, training units, and commanding troops in battle all at once. The genre was defined by classics like StarCraft and Command & Conquer and continues to show up on mobile and web platforms.
Makermint makes a 2D take on RTS: base building, resource gathering, unit production, and combat against AI opponents, playable in your browser. You describe the setting you want in plain words, and Makermint builds a playable game a few minutes later. Ask for changes in plain language, like a new unit or a second resource type, and play the next version right away. When you're happy with it, you get a link to share.
How it works
Describe your game
Tell Makermint what kind of RTS you want: a medieval war game, a space combat commander, a fantasy faction war. Just describe it in plain words.
Makermint builds it
Makermint generates a playable RTS: resource systems, building construction, unit training, combat, AI opponents, and a title screen. You're playing a version in a few minutes.
Play and iterate
Play it right in your browser, then ask for changes in plain language, like "add a flying unit" or "add a second resource type". Each request plays out as the next version.
Publish and share
When it feels right, get a share link for your RTS. You can also publish it to the Makermint community, where others can play and remix it.
