Resource Rush: from a board game to 4X

An old idea combining Settlers and Risk has grown into an independent 4X game. Resource Rush joins the Lab with a browser development build.

The idea behind Resource Rush is much older than its current browser build. It began as a board-game concept: mix the resource and building mechanics of Settlers with the conflict of Risk.

That starting point developed into an independent 4X game. Resource Rush now has a place in the Grinder Games Lab, where the project page brings together its current development build, a screenshot and its latest notes.

The Lab page will describe the current state of the project. This devlog will hold individual updates as the game develops. For now, the browser link opens the development build separately; it is still a prototype and may change.
