dWars is an independent strategy game studio currently developing Battle of Burwood, a large-scale tactical RTS set in a near-future fractured Sydney. The game puts players in command of up to one million drones across real urban terrain, built on OpenStreetMap data, combining authentic military strategy — supply lines, flanking, overextension — with a narrative-driven storyline following characters navigating a city under machine occupation.
The project is in active early development, currently in pre-alpha with public playtests available in the browser via WebGPU. The studio builds in the open, iterating directly with a growing Discord community feeding back on combat balance, mechanics, and story. The current build features procedural audio, real-time unit upgrades, and battalion-level command systems.
