Hello everyone! I am currently working on/need help with an RTS on Makcode Arcade! But:

1. I’m horrible at art and music, so If someone can do those (@not_a_lemon can you please do the music?)
2. And I will need some help with ideas, like the name, and some mechanics.

## Okay so here is the idea I have so far:

Name (Placeholder): Core Conflict

Setting: Tundra/ice plane/just generally icy terrain

Gameplay: 1v1 Split screen-same keyboard (and/or AI matches).

Trying to be similar to Halo Wars 1-2, but not too close.

### General conflict:

Humans vs aliens.

A rare power source has fallen from the sky (in a tundra area). Humans saw this and went over to it to investigate. As they reached it, they saw aliens defending it. Now the humans try to capture it, while the aliens defend the power source, and try to eradicate the humans in the area.

### Human Units (For now):

1. 

Name: Trooper

Class: Infantry (Basic Grunt)

Desc: Two simple attacks. White/grey camo.

1. 

Name: Medic

Class: Infantry (Healer)

Desc: No attack ability’s. Same clothing as Trooper but with a cross on it.

1. 

Name: Snow Assault Vehicle (SAV)

Class: Tank

Desc: Powerful attack cannon. Tank with snow gear.

1. 

Name: Grizzly (Placholder name)

Class: Tank (Anti-Air)

Desc: SAV design, but with rocket launcher on top.

1. 

Name: Survey Drone

Class: Air (Worker Drone)

Desc: Used for exploring and scavenging. Regular commercial drone design with mechanical arms.

1. 

Name: Hornet (Placholder name)

Class: Air (Attack Drone)

Desc: Helicopter design, with logo.

### Need help with:

1. Music. (Need a main theme, and some sound effects, like explosion noises etc.)
2. Art (Need help with making the Core, and the bases for both sides).
3. Ideas to add.

Anyway, please tell me what you think and let me know if you want to help and I can tell you what you can do!

Is this a reverse tower defense?

Being able to play as both sides would be cool.

Nice art! could you make it top down style though? and also, if you could help out with the human base art, that would be nice (1-2 Tiles worth).
