A New Zero​

​

It's the game under 1mb. Your objective is to take control of all the islands, although doing so, isn't as easy as you may think. Currently it features different variations of boats and planes, all unique.​

Everything in A New Zero is procedurally generated at run-time, meaning the entire game fits in one 516 KB executable (1/10,000th the size of Left 4 Dead).
All textures, models, music and sound effects are created using complex algorithms, or sometimes simple algorithms. Also all of the design and programming is done by one person: Alex Austin. Let's start with the basics.

The Confederation of Condor vs The Empire of Eagle
When joining your first game you will be prompted to join either Condor or Eagle, the decision really does not matter unless you're trying to be on the same team as your friends.

Islands
Islands are your main ways of earning money, purchasing vehicles and trading. Islands' alignment can be friendly, neutral, or hostile. Friendly islands supply free ammunition and aircraft fuel. Friendly and neutral islands can be traded with. Hostile islands cannot be traded with, and defenses will fire on you.

To capture an island you must build a capitol building on it. Islands' alignment will slowly shift towards the team with more capitals. If a team has no friendly islands, they lose the game.

Mines=materials. Factories make materials into tradeable shipments. Cargo vehicles buy shipments and sell them at other islands. Capitals are built to take control of an island. Destroy enemy Capitals to take the island. You can build all of these from the in-game menu by pressing tab. Laboratories=Researching. Researching=Better weapons/vehicles.
