About Incremental RTS
A semi-idle incremental strategy game with no micromanagement. You buy factories and upgrades; the base produces units automatically and they fight on their own, so your decisions are what to build and what to research, tanks, artillery, flankers and mega units among them, against escalating enemy surges. Each building raises the cost of all buildings, so you purge and rebuild from time to time, and if you are defeated you restart from an earlier level while keeping your upgrades and war points. The developer, Dyrkabes, draws every unit on paper and scans it; music and sound come from Uppbeat. Per the developer, most of the code is AI-generated (the AI tool is not named), along with some texts and translations. A larger but older version (24 levels, about 100 upgrades, 16 units) plays in the browser or downloads for Windows and macOS on itch.io on a name-your-own-price basis; on Steam a shorter free demo has been out since August 2026 and the full game, which the developer says will have 333 upgrades, 22 units and 75 levels, is listed for 24 November 2026. The developer says it is neither an RTS nor a pure incremental.

How it was built
Partially verifiedIn a post on r/incremental_games (17 Oct 2026, UTC) the developer writes: “AI disclosure: Most of the code is AI-generated (I am a software dev but brain dead after my day job). Some texts and translations are AI-generated.” The AI tool or model is not named. Per the same post, the art comes from the developer's drawings on paper and the music and sound from Uppbeat.
- DeveloperThe itch.io AI disclosure ticks AI Assisted, Code and Text; the page says all the models are hand-drawn on paper and scanned. — itch.io
Made in Unity since January 2026, according to the developer, with most of the code AI-generated by a tool the developer does not name, alongside some texts and translations. Units are drawn on paper, scanned and reduced in size. Units follow predefined paths on each map. The itch.io version is updated in numbered releases (0.3.0 added localization in July 2026; Windows and macOS builds arrived in June 2026).

“AI disclosure: Most of the code is AI-generated (I am a software dev but brain dead after my day job).”Verification notes: AI use from the developer's post by u/dyrkabes on r/incremental_games (17 Oct 2026, 16:52 UTC) and replies under it, read from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 8 Nov 2026. The tool is not named, so it is recorded as undisclosed; the developer is a software developer by trade and says most, not all, of the code is AI-generated, so no share is recorded.
