D.O.R.F ► This Game Will Be AMAZING

[@dorf-rts]

Thanks for the coverage! It should be pointed out that a lot of the footage in this video is outdated; we recently altered the engine to allow for dynamic lighting and shadows (while still using 2D sprites), and since then we've had to undergo the massive task of re-rendering all existing artwork to fit within this new system.

[@king_kiff3969]

I cannot wait, buying as soon as the store allows me to.

[@vilvismargots5937]

Dudes you rock!

[@thundercracker3287]

Shhhhhhhhhh…….just take my money

[@kantez2872]

Those animated portraits are bringing best memories from old Starcraft:D

[@helmetfire5973]

I want this game so bad 🥵

[@addictedfoolgamer1970]

The graphics style; the bases; the walls; the gates; unique faction styles; the harvesting of resources out in the wild (not just in a neat semi circle around your HQ….) The developer/s clearly understood what made CnC great and that we just needed more of it.

[@lyrabonbon5931]

The game's units are all references to other games and franchises. The VTOL style air transports are based on designs that exist in real life. There's a tank that looks like it's straight out of terminator, one that looks like a boss enemy from the Metal Slug series. There's probably so much more in there that I don't recognize.

[@MaceLupo]

Have you noticed that the small trucks of the outlaw faction have multiple skins? I really like that.

[@dorf-rts]

They operate sort of like the way GLA Technicals from C&C Generals work, where they spawn with a randomized sprite (but still generally have the same sort of silhouette). This system will be in place for most units for that faction, since it wouldn't make sense for a guerilla faction to use standardized unit designs.

[@CriminallyUnderatted]

@@dorf-rts I love that Idea so much! I never noticed that while playing as the GLA.

[@Fenris8800]

This reminds me hard on KKND2 :)

[@pharaohthutmosis7803]

you beat me to it! damnit!, hard KKND vibes

[@AbsurdShark]

I love everything about how this game looks.

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

🙌🏻👌👍

[@Tentacl]

The unit design remings me a log of Brigador and the colorful artistic style reminds me of KKND...

[@Cythil]

Brigador is of course also a call back to the old way of making graphics. Using pre-rendered 3D that you make in to 2D sprites.

[@Tentacl]

@@Cythil Sure thing, but I meant mostly the concept art, specially the improvised vehicles like piled up vans making mechwarriors, etc.

[@dorf-rts]

We've actually spoken to the Brigador devs regarding how they handle their graphics/lighting system, since we are using a similar approach, though ours works a bit differently under the hood.

[@freeman8990]

hopefully the single player campaign is amazing

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

I hope so!!

[@davidquezada50]

Hope this game makes it. It's so unique

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Likewise! I can't wait to see the next update

[@Theredsunrising]

Welcome back commander

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

🫡

[@User_92020]

Thank you, soldier🤏

[@professorkatze1123]

this really looks like it came directly from 1999 to the not so distant future of 2024. noice

[@QuantumNova]

6:18 Is that a wrecked MCV from CNC? looks like one. I love the H.K. terminator tanks too. Looks like a great game.

[@Bumballah3]

Yes! A nice little touch I think.

[@ArksideGames]

Honestly, it's one of those rare games I will buy on day 1 nowadays. Looks INCREDIBLE. I love the older style.

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Same! I'm not usually one for older style graphics but certain games like CnC Red Alert I'd always wanna play because of awesome gameplay / storyline. I can see DORF potentially being the same! Looking forward to the next update

[@Wright1331]

This games looks just as good as StarCraft when it came out in 99'

[@battlechronics]

It reminds me of Command & Conquer but also of KKND. I think it's very cool. Thank you for introducing the game.

[@heyteger]

Nice video 👍

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Thanks! 🙏

[@GKOYG_and_KAAF_is_epic]

The double airship and the red guys tank look cool asf

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Definitely I love the sound of the bombing run from the double airship!

[@RandyArmy]

Cant wait, 90' & 80' generation live with kind of this RTS

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Same! Going to be a blast 🙌🏻

[@Mirrodin82]

Damn , this game looks sweet. Oldschool graphics is a huge + for me

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

🔥💪 definitely pulls on the nostalgia strings!!

[@hideshisface1886]

DORF's visual style really reminds me of Brigador for some reason. Which is bloody amazing. Another thing I like is the scale. SO MANY RTS games get this wrong and all over the place. Transport vehicles that work on clown car logic? Giant battlecruisers that look like they could barely fit a pilot? Siege battle tanks that are barely bigger than 2 grunts standing next to each other? There are very few RTS games that do the scale right, instead of going all over the place with it. I was always under the impression that the scale issues were a technicality - the effect of limitations of engines and technology... But no - RTS games kept doing it over and over and over, even after games like Company of Heroes came out and did the scale right... I'm so happy to see DORF getting this particular thing all nice and right.

[@RafeLaet]

The empire has some Soviet Union red Alert vibes.

[@Bumballah3]

Did anyone notice the wrecked MCV from C&C at 6:18? A nice little touch to the series there!

[@Zyzyx442]

Can't wait for DORF, just can't decide on the faction, they all look so cool, like Starcraft.

[@bigstreetguns6619]

This looks so sick!

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

🔥

[@robax3r]

i like the cnc easter eggs....

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Same, love that it brings nostalgia but is clearly a totally different game still

[@fauxgaming-j2c]

love how they show an derelict mcv from the first tib wars

[@mahditeymuri5650]

this game it's very similar to C&C red alert 2 in many ways but also different in other ways too and it's gonna be perfect game.

[@Dan-hh5pk]

I freakin love the graphics!!!!

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

👌👌

[@MaceLupo]

Looks absolutly great.

[@vonDog]

Maybe I am the only one but I think that the infrantry of Crumbling Empire have pikelhaube (helmet with spike)

[@burnnolys5707]

im wainting impatiently since 23 ma dudde

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

👌🙌🏻

[@kamilpruszynski7132]

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun but with better textures and different lore

[@durakeno5575]

okay I was skeptical that I would even be interested in a game like this but resources having logistics? Fk I have been looking for something like a factorio game with RTS combat focus. Yeah I'm wishlisting this right now.

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Same!! I'm usually one for modern graphics and things looking super up-to-date graphics wise and anything less would usually put me off. But the mechanics and looks of the actual gameplay hooks me in. Reminds me of how games used to be. Gameplay over looks. Can't wait to give it a try and hopefully it won't disappoint

[@TheGreatCharlie123]

I'm quite excited for this as well. However when the hell is it coming out?

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Haha I wish I knew 😂. It's gonna be hype when it comes out

[@Spidyy]

Somehow the style reminds me of K.K.N.D : Crossfire

[@User_92020]

Cant wait

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

Same 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@marekkos3513]

I love 2D strategy games

[@Kroetens]

I just wonder if the maps are going to be big enough.

[@TheOuroboros84]

a lot of the designs remind me of WH40K rogue trader... and thats PEAK 40k

[@skoub3466]

Yup look promising :)

[@marekkos3513]

nice

[@ChainsWorld1]

Release Date ?

[@DrLynch2009]

Red Alert 2.

[@thundercracker3287]

D.O.R.F looks so.. alive. That’s what all the new RTS games are missing. Visceral combat WITH INFANTRY is a huge draw. So sick of supreme commander clones with sh**ty pew pew lasers and no soul in them.

[@zunwarshinn8193]

Would love to play this. Better than Homeworld 3. What a disappointment. Idk about playing this on my steam deck though.

[@alexanderewing6312]

RTS aren’t vary good on hand held because everything will look vary small, you need a pc.

[@ChainsWorld1]

The problem only singleplayer.

[@yavuztezcan8684]

Game is looking good but they have to remake these projectile vfx, cos they look cheap

[@zahylon5993]

well, it's still on development for a reason. Let's give them time :D

[@dorf-rts]

Those are sort of a placeholder since there's a limitation currently with the way projectile trail effects work, since they don't have any blending options and just so appear as a flat, solid color. Just another feature that's on the to-do list.

[@yavuztezcan8684]

@@dorf-rts great to hear that, good luck!

[@Tedpikel]

Annoying AI voice.

[@StrategyGamesCentral]

As in the unit voice lines are annoying? Or my voice for the video? 😂
