Is this working?
If it is, be sure to check out the Looking Inward demo! It's an RPG set within the human psyche where you navigate the Mindscape, make friends, and confront difficult thoughts and feelings!

Added a small detail, but a cool one.
Units that deal splash damage (damage to anyone around the main shot, like the Artillery and Mega) will have a special VFX in battles showing debris flying around (with cool physics hehe)

If someone clicked on you in a RTS, what would your voice lines be?
We wrote our own lines for a tutorial yesterday!
"Yes, Sir?"
"Your orders, Sir?"
"You got it!"
"Point us in the right direction!"
"Reporting!"
"On the move!"
"Show me where to shoot!"
"If it's for the cause?"
"Affirmative!"

"You get the next chapter when it's done."
"Do I have to?"
