Project Highspire (working title)
Hold the citadel, get your messengers through the siege lines, and break the siege.
A real-time strategy game about the oldest story in war: a walled city, a besieging army and a few riders who have to get out. Build and hold your citadel ring by ring, send messengers past the enemy camps to light the beacons, then call in the relief army and break the siege. Play it in any age, from the Stone Age to a far future, with a steam-powered 1890s along the way.

How it is made
Project Highspire is built with AI tools. Claude helps write the code, and some 3D models will start in AI tools before they are finished by hand. People direct the design and review every piece.
