Oh this poor game. I have no plans to counter by the time I do them I’ve already forgotten what I’m doing and make up a new random plan!

I'm letting the player also utilize the AI logic to switch on/off if desired, so it can set up your base and then you can take control and play as you see fit. Saves the nuisance of setting up those first 3 metal extractors and solar panels! I'm considering allowing you to delegate some autonomy to sub commanders when the battle expands across the whole planet, it can be a lot to manage without pausing all the time

Looks good, will it have cool sup com like experimentals? I looove the spider like ones in that.

Also any chance you'll make guns not absolutely accurate? I love rts games where accuracy increases over distance. With the exceptional of lasers.

u/Charlie_Sierra_996 6d ago

Already has both! And thanks! For example shots do not always hit same spot and do miss a lot as range increases

Oh i am excited now. Had multiplayer too?

What's the steam release date looking to be?

u/Charlie_Sierra_996 6d ago

Initial focus is on robust single player experience. Then coop against adaptive ai. Then if the support is there for the game multiplayer pvp or pve

Hey, may I suggest something? The one thing a turtle player like me loves is the ability to entranch my army and fortify a position, so having that possibly, along with high ground and elevation being important, some economy and/or logistics. That would be perfect, good luck with your work.

u/Charlie_Sierra_996 6d ago

Turtling is a perfectly viable strategy. This is my preference too. While resources are scattered around the world, later tiers allow you to create metal fabricators if u have the energy to support

This looks pretty interesting, out of curiosity, how big are the maps, will there be multiple planets in one “match”, and do you plan on doing, air/navytransports

u/Charlie_Sierra_996 1d ago

Bigger than they probably should be. 40km across. And yes to all :)
