One job, one counter
Every unit has one clear role and one clear answer. A player looking at any unit knows when to buy it.

Strategy games
for the next generation
of players.
Tactus Games makes real-time strategy for Roblox. Our first game, Commanders, brings modern warfare RTS to the platform's mobile and PC players: easy to learn, hard to master.
Our first game
Commanders
A modern-military RTS for Roblox. Grab deposits, build an army of infantry, armor and air power, and destroy the enemy HQ.
Strategy is one of the biggest genres in gaming, yet the modern RTS space on Roblox is nearly empty. Commanders is built for the platform from day one: ten-minute matches, one resource, a server-authoritative simulation built for large armies, and controls designed for phones as a first-class target, not an afterthought.

01
Expand
Engineers build mines on fixed deposits. More mines mean more income, and a thinner army.
02
Invest
Spend now on units, or on research that unlocks tanks, artillery, jets and drill vehicles.
03
Fight
Raid mines, read the enemy's research and counter it. Land or air: two styles, both can win.
04
Win
Destroy the enemy HQ. Earn XP and credits, then queue for the next match.
Design pillars
Big, visible bets
No hidden stat upgrades. Research unlocks whole units, and the opponent can see it coming.
Learn by playing
Counters are taught by in-match feedback and the unit card's numbers, not outside wikis.
Never pay to win
Money buys looks or time, never power. Nothing bought changes a match.
Start small, grow
A tight launch scope, then seasons: new maps, ranked play, new modes and factions.
The army
Every unit has a job
Infantry, armor and air, each with a clear counter. All models are original low-poly art, tuned to stay smooth with large armies on phones.
How we build
An AI-native studio
Tactus Games is a solo founder working with a team of AI agents. The founder owns the vision and every design decision; Claude does the building.
A living game design document of 170 numbered rules is the single source of truth. Claude Code reads it, writes the game in Luau, builds and rigs the 3D models in Blender with Python, lays out the maps, uploads the assets to Roblox and tests in Studio, step by step, with the founder approving every phase.
That loop lets one person ship at the pace of a small studio: Commanders' first commit landed in October 2026, and it already has every unit, six maps and a 3D lobby.
14,800lines of game code (Luau)
5,900lines of Blender Python for the art
170numbered design rules
30original 3D models and maps
Design
The founder decides; the rule goes into the design doc with an ID.
Build
Claude writes the code and config, citing the rule IDs.
Art
Models, rigs, poses and maps generated in headless Blender.
Test
Type check, then a play test in Roblox Studio with screenshots.
Ship
The founder plays it, approves, and the next step starts.
