[@perafilozof]

Nice! Thx for the reply

[@harriscrane1512]

Ooohh I've actually played the demo I belive for your game? It was really fun tbh I had a blast which wasn't what I was expecting from just downloading a random demo the customisation elements where a nice touch too I think the only real suggestion would be a way of making the clones if I remember right? Better in melee combat like an armour boost with a Melee weapon equipped or just more damage or even a retreat feature when on low health I think that's the only thing that was in any was not great from me playing so well done for crafting such a great game

Always a pleasure folks! Keep up your amazing work on your game and bring the genre back to the throne!

[@OpiatesAndTits]

Hey your game is looking great! Just don’t forget players need to manage all your systems. Good default hotkeys that blend seemlessly with your gameplay could be the difference between a player staying or leaving. Making sure your have fully customizable hotkeys and different profiles as well as separate hotkeys groups for each faction (think sc2) is crucial. The difference between playing sc2 with my custom setup and without is night and day. Also in skeptical about the XP towers and random creeps guarding them. Obviously I’d need to play your game first but they don’t feel like natural extensions like having your tech tl resources collected out on the map (a simple artful change which is already paying dividends from the games I’ve seen). Good luck on your journey! The new galactic mode looks really cool like something I’d play alot of!

This channel has been THE best channel I've found on this site. I never knew there was somebody who was so eager to cover the upcoming RTS titles and a genuine thank you for mentioning about the sales, especially with Army Men RTS (a personal favorite of mine). You really do wonders covering the various games, showing off teases and best of all including discounts and sales to intriguing titles of game that still are noteworthy of attention. PS - I would REALLY recommend bringing attention towards ATTACK ON TOYS. Its the old-school Army Men game but you are able to build bases, tanks, infantry and even jump into various vehicles to attack the enemy forces. There is a TON of mod support and even other enemy factions and even robots you can build as well. I could go on about it more, but what I love the most about it is they're still adding to the game AND its incredibly cheap to pick-up. I cannot recommend it enough as both of a throwback, but a genuinely fun and wild game that works so smoothly.

[@perafilozof]

Hello my friend and thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a nice comment and feedback. I am supper happy to see more gamers like you follow my channel and enjoy my videos. I am also happy to know the inclusion of sales in these videos turned out to be a good idea. I think one other person also mentioned a similar game called Toy Soldiers. So while I remembered Army Men now I know of three similar games thanks to my fellow RTS fans! I am glad to have so many folks who enjoy these games and carry happy memories of them on my channel.

[@TorchdriveIndustries]

[@mimamo9214]

This looks really promising!

[@Washeek]

Thanks for keeping us grognards in the loop! Also, you're doing good work, bringing attention to little projects that may find proper funding by increased public interest. I'm a bit sad, that Petroglyph lost the balls to go big and seem like they're going with the safe options lately. Universe at war was one of the more interesting titles I've played and it would deserve another try at its interesting gameplay ideas.

[@perafilozof]

Hello and thank you kindly for that feedback and praise! I am glad to be able to match good indie devs and their audience. Petroglyph is one of the last remaining titans of old and running on battery power due to low investments into RTS games.

[@OpiatesAndTits]

The premise and graphics. I dunno they really piqued my interest. I wish more people would go back to old school graphics. AoE2 DE and BW remastered are two of the best looking RTS games out right now. Nailing an old school look can net a game which is infinitely easier to read thanks to the contrast between textures and units (something which as gorgeous as Dust Front looks maybe an issue). Like it’s impossible not to understand immediately what’s going on in a game of brood war or aoe2!

[@Primarkka]

Oh man, so many games and projects that I as a fairly avid RTS enjoyer didn't even know about. That's so cool, many are fairly close to C&C and some are even Tiberian Sun aesthetics too! Thanks for this overview!

[@jkl9984]

"Perimeter" and "Perimeter: Emperor's Testament". Played them both when i was a kid. Those 2 games have a kind of unique approach towards the RTS genre. You are in control of a dimension jumping city, trying to escape something called the "scourge" and find a way back to the original Earth. Scourge follows your city everywhere it goes. The 2 main systems at work are terraforming and "nanomorphing" aka making a large unit by merging together many smaller units, all of which are consisting of nanobots. The terraforming comes into play when you are trying to make energy and use the "perimeter" shield system. The ground needs to be perfect to make full use of the energy generation and the make sure the shield is at full size. For 0.79EUR, it's worth a try in my opinion.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thx for sharing your memory of it. Mine is definitely not that good. I don't think I was able to get far back then in it, and only tried a bit years later. Good to see such RTS fans like yourself in my comment section! BTW which of these newer games looks good to you?

I really wish dust front can get a coop or multiplayer, those units and visuals looks great. ^^ 2 - Did fertile crescent solve their balance issues? I enjoy how simple and cozy that game is but the balance on units wherer very wacky ( example archers beating every other unit type). 3 - I did enjoy tatical warfare but I hope the devs found a way to balance the game, the alpha build show it need alot of work.

[@burningsheep4473]

Heroes of Annihilated Empires is surprisingly good. Though I didn't like the Hero gameplay too much in the campaign, I eventually switched to the RTS mode in Skirmish mode and that was exactly right for me. In terms of scale it's essentially a basic RTS with higher numbers of units plus some interesting quirks. The factions are well balanced and have enough interesting differences, though two of the factions are more developed than the other two. Edit: Perimeter is another good recommendation. The campaign can be hard at times and doesn't always explain features well, but the story is interesting, the soundtrack good, the scenarioes often have to be approached in new ways and the limited army supply also forces creative solutions as some units take way more supply than others.

[@perafilozof]

Hi! I am glad to see another old school player here! I agree with your descriptions. I too first found the campaign in HoAE too hard and the skirmish just right.

I still hope Dark Reign and Submarine Titans will find someone who will agree to remaster them. (happy birthday to your son !)

@@perafilozof Thank you for the video and good news! It's just impossible to pick just one. So here are a few to rekindle the flames of my enthusiasm and curiosity haha. 1. One of my favorite games from 20 years ago, with a story I've been wanting to replay for a while now, is Age of Mythology Retold. 2. Very happy for the developers of BAR. It's just impossible to stop playing this game. Beautiful legacy of Total Annihilation and SupCom. 3. The most anticipated is the DORF. Those great C&C and RA vibes. 4. The unexpected surprise is Lessaria. Thanks for sharing! I like Majesty a lot. 5. Mod support for Sins of Solar Empire 2. Star Wars WHEN?! hahaha. The mod for the first part turned out great. 6. Best sale suggestion - Cossacks franchise. Too bad I have it all both on Steam and GOG haha. Not to mention CDs on my shelf! P.S. From what I hear, the Front Edge according to Cats Who Play is a free testbed for a future major project. Fingers crossed that it works out for them. They have a very nice approach to the realtime tactic genre.

[@perafilozof]

Hello and thank you for the full reply. That info about Front Edge is priceless!

[@jangozubr]

@@perafilozof Here are their main claims about Front Edge: A real-time strategy game in a modern setting with a high degree of realism. - The game gives players the opportunity to fight each other (in 1vs1, 2vs1 and 2vs2 modes), or in Skirmish mode with a computer opponent. - Initially two armies are available in the game, these are RF and the US, in the future it is possible to add other armies. - The battle on the maps is for key points, the task of players at the end of the match time to control more key points on the map. In case of capturing all points by one of the players (one of the teams) the match ends prematurely. - Players can call for reinforcements during the game using Team Points (CP) accumulated over time. - Initially, players have access to standard sets of vehicles and infantry, but in the future players can get unique squads and vehicles that can move from battle to battle, gaining experience and being able to install and use various improvements and tactics. - The game will initially contain only the basic gameplay of general military combat, which will be further actively developed with the addition of new mechanisms actively appearing now in real life (e.g. copters that can drop stuff, FРV drones, etc.). - The game is considered as a basic platform that will be further developed with the addition of mechanics, new types of equipment, battle tactics, maps. - It is planned to be a completely open process of development/development of the game, with maximum involvement of players and sympathizers. - In the future, the game can serve as a base for creating single-player campaigns on various current and anticipated conflicts. At the moment the game can be downloaded from the Russian version of the Cats Who Play website for free www.catswhoplay.com/new/index.php/ru/igry/front-edge

That is what you think as a player, but as a developer, if you don't have publicity, wishlists on your Steam page and discord members no publisher or investor wants to give you any money. The times of finishing a game and then trying to find players for it are long gone my friend.

That is ok, if a project is not advancing it is normal to lose interest in it.

[@therandomcommenter6629]

While nobody can deny the importance of funding developers need to understand that sometimes it's not worth it (if not having the money makes the game take longer to make than let it) games live and die by the collective gamer hype hiveminds whim if people see something is in development and it proceeds to take too long to arrive one of two things will happen 1: the hype will increase with everyday as expectation over expectation is placed on the game because people will rationalise to themselves that "because it's taking so long it's going to be so absolutely amazing!" To the point it would never be able to live up to set expectations and the game would be nothing but a disappointment to everyone or 2: the hype will decrease it will die and when the game launches at best it will be met with "meh"resulting in simply being a mediocre one of many in the genre which will never really go anywhere and at worst it will be met with petty and vindictive internet backlash "too little too late fucker" all this to say timing is important and more developers should know that

[@perafilozof]

Some good points there. It is a balance and it is a hard one to keep. Too many indie developers especially sunk their games because of it.
