Can you do a video on Project Nomads? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Nomads

[@Indigo_Gaming]

@@HarosOfStyx No offense, but did you watch the video? I go over the crowdfunded game(s) (most of it is a rebranding of the same game), and the reasons for the company's failure. The game sold under 20K copies over three years and it couldn't maintain a sustainable multiplayer base.

[@SkyFly19853]

​@@Indigo_Gaming At least, it's available on myabandonware...

[@ChrisNihilus]

I started this video blind, not knowing what game it was... and this is the game I was looking for for so many years! I used to play it when I was little and couldn't remember the name when I grow up. Awesome.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

That's awesome, this has happened a lot with my channel, where I rediscover games that people didn't know they were looking for.

[@ChrisNihilus]

I still have a few remaining to find. One was an RTS game, 2D, and I remember having pumpkins and clockwork as resources. The other 2 were an RPG and its sequel. I remember style and the combat were like Zelda: A link to the Past. The demo of the second one was set in a monastery and I remember having to craft a potion using the bell of the tower as a cauldron.

[@maslav_]

@@ChrisNihilus I think the RTS you're looking for is Rising Lands, here's a link to the gameplay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4aqZmiug7qbabc . Unfortunately it's not available for sale on GoG or anything like that.

I remember meeting people online in this game, and modding my nameplate to look super cool and colorful, was coding at age 10 haha.

[@Gohka]

I absolutely loved this game. I remember finding it in like a used bin for £5 and I played it pretty much all the time up until the servers went down. Honestly one of the most underrated RTS games of all time.

[@graywolf182]

I never got to play the game online, because the only internet connection we had back then was super expensive dial up, and by the time we got DSL no one played it any more. But boy did I like the campaigns, despite how short they may have been compared to other strategy games, and despite how difficult it was to actually complete them. One of the most unique and interesting RTS games, and one that I certainly will never forget.

[@Mikhalych88]

I can't thank you enough for highlighting that game. I've played a demo of that game during my childhood and tried to remember it's name for years after that with no success

I think the "Not Forgotten" videos are some of my favorites from your channel. I´m always amazed by the fact that so many interesting games can fall into total obscurity, really makes me wish that old games and such will be properly archived. Great video as always!

[@Seffyzero]

Oh wow, now this takes me back. I still have the original box and disc for this game. I never got to play it online at all because at the time my computer couldn't run it, but I kept the game in hopes of one day playing it. Though by the time I upgraded my computer (and remembered I had the game lol) no one was playing it anymore. I still can't help but love it though, the game was so very unique in both style and gameplay. NetStorm will always have a special place in my heart.

Nice! That's probably fairly collectable since the game didn't sell well. Not sure how many copies are out there.

[@neutonm]

Nearly forgot this masterpiece. Played it a lot during mid 2000s on some community server, surprisingly it had plenty of players back then and it was sure fun experience. Probably was the first multiplayer game ever to feature permanent progression system - whenever you sacrificed enemy priest, you get to unlock new towers - quite satisfying.

[@J3n50]

I've been looking for the name of this one for decades now. Thank you!

[@CYI3ERPUNK]

innovative FAR beyond its time ; just wow ; reminds me of how the movie 'last action hero' bombed at the box office due to releasing along-side jurassic park

[@Celador]

It was absolutely brilliant game. I remember it after 20 years vividly: sounds, gameplay, atmosphere - this is the best indication on how good and impactful it was. Excellent tidbits of lore inside the game, novel gameplay, real variety in factions, amazing replayability. Classic case of "they don't do game like these anymore", current tower defense games are very basic and bland compared to this. 9.5/10. I'm also one of those who bought stratus on steam years ago, but so far - no news. They mentioned a sponsor in August on Facebook and that's it. Oh well. Back to nostalgia closet.

[@wongyip7394]

Another great video, mate. I had no idea this game even existed and its existence shows so much about the development of RTS games. You keep at it - senpai.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Thanks mate, I'm glad people enjoy me ranting about old games nobody played. 😄

[@Vezill]

Thank you, this was one of my favourite RTS of all time, and I still have the manual kicking around that I always love flipping through every so often. I really wish it had done better then it did.

[@HebaruSan]

Kind of want to see this rebooted as a team-based FPS. Imagine dragging those tetris pieces out into the void in front of you, then charging out onto them after placement.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

As I was making this, I imagined a team-based remake of the game, where you had "pilots" and a "commander". The commander would build structures and give objectives (like the 1997 RTS), and the pilots would take control of aerial units and turrets, which would make their aim more effective, but also would boost their damage potential. I'd love to play something like that, reminds me of that Command & Conquer spinoff back in the day.

[@abilawaandamari8366]

This is one of my favorite game channel on youtube. The quality is really something else, I've been here since the God game documentary. I might even say this is comparable to Ahoy, well almost.

[@007scraps]

I was a part of this community for 10 years. This game was bloody fun to play.

[@52BLUE]

The first one that goes through the wall always gets bloodied. Truly ahead of its time. I remember playing this with my friend online back in the late 90s. Somebody would get a house call and the game would get disconnected. He was always better at building bridges and won 90% of the time because of this. I found the game fascinating, even though I sucked at it. Would be great if somebody did a HD re release of this. Such a unique setting and design that one could easily do something big with it. Here's hoping.

[@obuw1]

I loved this game as a kid. I actually even wrote a mini analysis about it as part of a game design course. I loved the way that nothing in this game was straightforward, everything required strategic thinking, even the building of bridges. I had no idea about the remakes. While I actually prefer the graphics of the original over the new 3d stuff, I'd welcome the chance to play more maps with this kind of gameplay in any shape or form.

[@CultoftheCyberSkull]

[@zumzoom6368]

Huh, I knew I heard that tune "Serenity" 2:30 before, while never even knowing about this game. It was used in Fallout 2's OST under a different title - "Dream Town" :D

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Yeah it blew my mind when I realized large elements of Mark Morgan's work were reused in Fallout and Netstorm. Interesting bit of history. If I recall, Mark was doing a lot of TV production at the time, so they opted to use some similar riffs in order to meet the requirements.

[@enilenis]

I remember this game being one of first ones I downloaded off the internet. To have a demo that was able to connect to regular game sessions was amazing. To have internet functionality built into a demo was unheard of. It was always a premium feature. Game servers weren't cheap. They were hoping that people, witnessing stronger players, would be encouraged to buy the full version. Only trouble is that so many people downloaded the demo and nobody bought the full version, so you were pretty much guaranteed to get a lobby full of demo players, just like yourself. Equally capped, and equally weak, so it was fun. We played endlessly. It was fun, because it was different. Trying to outbridge eachother was like a real time chess game, where you could place pieces as fast as you could think. It was such a great experience. I have fond memories of this game.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Yeah, I allude to that in the video. The demo was so good that most people didn't buy the full game (or just cracked it). This was well before the Free to Play model was standard, so that really hurt the success of the game.

[@enilenis]

@@Indigo_Gaming I remember Gamespy service being used to circumvent game protections. If one had to have a legal key to play on official servers in games such as Battlefield 1942 and Soldier Of Fortune and Ghost Recon, through Gamespy if one connected to a cracked server with the key check disabled, then a pirated version of the copy would be as good as a full one. After Gamespy there were programs like Kamachi, that did the same sort of thing. Creating VLAN for internet sessions. But Netstorm suffered even without those things. Like you said, the demo was just too good. I remember going to a store, looking at a box, coming home to read about the game, finding out there was a free version, and never coming back to the store.

[@ivons1]

Netstorm was my first childhood multiplayer game and it still rocks! Thanks for the great showcase vid!

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Awesome to hear other people enjoyed it at the time as well. I think the demo exposed a lot of people to the game, despite arguably damaging their sales.

[@Skleog]

[@AiRJacobs]

There was an indie game called "Stratus: Battle for the Sky" that I supported on Steam Early Access. When I interviewed one of the members of the dev team, he said that he got in contact with some of the original NetStorm devs and given access to un-used NetStorm concept art which they were able to use for Stratus. It was a true spiritual successor. But a lack of funding and public exposure led to what I assume the project's end. It hasn't been updated since 2019. At the time I played it, the Rain faction was working and you could play a multiplayer game, but public servers were empty and their was no AI enemy to play against offline.

[@CardCommander]

Played this as a kid all the time as my dad had the CD, never got to play online but still played this for hundreds of hours

[@komemiute]

[@coolman5242]

I remember playing this game back when it was free in the mid-2000s, 8 player mode was pretty much the most fun thing ever.

[@Zyzyx442]

Remember NetStorm was played on all library and other school computers. every computer had it installed and the teachers would let us play against each other if we finished the tasks early. Such a fun game and concept, MOBA before MOBA's, even if it is a little more on the RTS side.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

That sounds like a sweet deal. Wish I had access to that set up when I was younger!

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

Man oh man. Why would you name your new business, "Titanic _anything?"_ That's bold. It never pays off :P I've never heard of this one, but am totally intrigued by all this (definitely wishlisting Stratus on Steam now too). Every once in awhile I recall old online services and lament the fact that, just so many games are lost forever now. You'll page through an old magazine or look up an old demo disc, see an ad or watch a trailer for a game like Sega Soft's Rocket Jockey, 10Six or Net Fighter and be like, "Oh yeah! That thing that was exclusive to Heat.ne---- Ohhhhh..." Same thing with a lot of these late 90's Services. R.I.P. GameStorm and Aliens Online :'( Good job doing your part to archive some kind of memory of this. The mechanics, the world design, just everything here sounds pretty awesome - I was totally getting a tower defense/RTS hybrid vibe from you talking about them so I was happy to hear I was on the right track when you said it's almost like the progenitor of that type of game. I wish I got to play it back in the day.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Yeah it wasn't the most fortunate name for a studio. Fun fact: Titanic Entertainment owned titanic.com, and having released a game in the same year as the most successful movie of all time, they linked to the official Titanic movie website. 😄

[@23Scadu]

I played the demo of this back when it was new. I don't think I ever completed it, but the look and atmosphere (and the way the golems go "yes master") really made it stick in my memory.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Very memorable atmosphere, I agree!

[@GreySectoid]

Thank you for this video. NetStorm truly deserves not to be forgotten.

[@tristikov]

Oh man, it's so great to see NetStorm get the recognition it deserves! I played this game a ton growing up, and the multiplayer was great even on a 56k modem. After getting used to spamming the bridge hotkeys and hearing the rapid placement sounds when bridging against other players online though, it is driving me nuts seeing footage of bridges being build so slowly with just the mouse haha.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

I'm not saying I'm an expert at the bridge building, hence my difficulty online and during the campaign. 😅

[@Elora445]

I love videos like this, where we get to see some of these forgotten gems. This game sadly came out a couple of years before I started gaming for real. Would so have tried playing it during its heyday. I think it would have done better as a single player game (at most a multiplayer game) than as an online game, though. If I remember correctly, my dear family, who love strategy just as much as me, did prefer games like Age of Empires instead, or more city-building games like The Settlers. Oh, boy, all those Settlers games... Me, I fell for Heroes of Might and Magic instead (I still say 1 to 3 is the best ones).

[@Indigo_Gaming]

I adore Heroes of Might and Magic. 2, especially, but 3 and 4 are also favorites of mine, before the original studio shut down.

[@Elora445]

My favorite is Heroes of Might and Magic 3, but I adore 1 and 2, too. All three games have different things that I like. :) I had a feeling that other studios had done the games after 4. The games just didn't feel the same after that.

[@reasonableattempt1918]

When I was 13 or so I would have to go to my dad's office and wait around for hours as he finished work. For some reason this game was installed on all the computers despite no one knowing that it was there or how to play it. Naturally, I found it and learned how to connect a couple of computers together to play and had so much damn fun. I'm sure I barely managed to achieve anything in the game, but it was such a great atmosphere and always felt awesome to get any kind of upgrade.

[@jamesfgreer]

Hey I made this game! Yeah, we probably shouldn’t have called the company Titanic… The difficulty of being a small studio in that era is what led me and my sister to start Kongregate in 2006. Great video. Nice to be remembered.

[@TommyDaGreatest]

I used to play this and it was soooo atmospheric and ominous. The sound design by itself was godlike. I wish they relaunched it on steam as a classic game. I think it would fare better today now that the internet is so much bigger. The only gripe I have with the game is that some matches, both solo and multiplayer, could go on forever. I think you could even get yourself stuck in the solo campaign if you made too many mistakes building.

[@Max_Mustermann]

Still remember spending countless hours with the demo version of NetStorm in single player back then, not knowing about the multiplayer aspect. Then again, it wouldn't make much difference as we didn't have an Internet connection in those days. At least I finally understand now why the game was called NetStorm.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Even though the single player missions were basically the "tutorial" for the main multiplayer component, it was very difficult at times.

[@Medytacjusz]

Played a demo back in middle school and then played a lot of the singleplayer in university, when it became free.
