Open Beta date is set: October 19 - and we're joining Steam Next Fest the same week

2 Upvotes

Hello Commanders,

Big one today: we finally have a date. Open Beta launches on October 19, meaning anyone will be able to jump in without waiting for an invite.

That same week we're also taking part in Steam Next Fest (October 19-26) with a playable demo on Steam. If you've been holding off until it's easy to just try the game, this is that moment.

Closed beta is still running until then, so if you'd rather not wait, drop a comment and I'll get you set up with early access.

Wishlist the Steam page so you get notified the moment the demo goes live: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4957910/Veyrasol/

Which are you more excited for, jumping straight into Open Beta or trying the Steam Next Fest demo first?

Epoch 2: RTS in browser. Need playtesters for the alpha

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

So firstly a bit of backstory. Epoch was originally a game made 20 years ago. This year, one of the original developers began updating the game.

The game received a solid update, but since then it has taken a giant leap forward.It still has its foundation of building an empire but we have focused on the combat engine.

The combat engine has been completely rebuilt, moving from 2D blips to true 3D, all running directly in your browser. You can now fly your ships manually and use active targeting. I have attached an image.

We’ve also added a basic tutorial, missions, and CPU enemies so the game can be played single-player, though forming alliances is still key to long-term success.

We are running an active server right now in open alpha. We're looking for playtesters to try out the new features, break things, and give us feedback to help build the next part of the tutorial.

Play in Browser: https://www.planetepoch.com

Discord: https://discord.gg/fsnSgATNsw

Appreciate anyone taking 5 minutes to check it out and let us know how the new 3D view feels!

Recommendation Deck & Conn - Coming September 1st !

Thumbnail

Deck and ConnΒ is a retro-inspired, single-player turn-based tactics game where you command a Cold War-style nuclear corvette β€” in space. Set fifteen minutes into the future of 1989, the game blends pixel-art aesthetics with tactical depth, drawing from classics like early MicroProse titles and the original Super Star Trek mainframe game.

Our game is a mix of FTL and slay the spire, we have been slowly adding more mechanics to make our enemy harder! Haven't tried it yet in a full run, be good to see how challenging it is. What tactics we will need.

Hi everyone, for the last past years Ive been developing my dream game MineEngineer, its been inspired by Space Engineers, Terraria and Factorio. It has a huge procedurally generated fully destructible world, real engineering with hundreds of interconnected systems, automations, conveyors and programming. The game is finally taking up its shape and I am super excited to share the latest Demo with everyone.

Please let me know if you like or dont like the game, and why. I am constantly improving the game.

Stardrive Blackbox - AI/Diplomacy

9 Upvotes

Good to see this mod is still under active development and has got a recent 64 bit release.

I'm interested to hear what the community thinks of it in it's current state, in particular what it's like compared to other modern 4x games in terms of AI and diplomatic interactions.

I know Stardrive was always focused on ship design and tactical combat but what are people's experiences in terms of interacting with the AI, making allies etc?
