Thanks for the continued awesome timestamps. No obsfucation, no hidden titles, all info there. (so many videos now intentionally hide names to force people to watch the video)

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thx for the feedback and praise. That is very interesting, because I follow several creators who make similar content, and I haven't noticed them doing this. Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you will like many more.

[@PekiLudak]

This is the only content creator that when I see he posted a video, I like it first and watch it later. You just KNOW it's going to be amazing. Thank you for the updates man, this is amazing. Looking forward for Broken Arrow coming in summer. Also waiting on any news about "Ascendence" .

Huzzah to see MainKind made it to your video, Perafilozof. Been in contact with them and each new update continues to build a more enticing game. Either way, its astonishing to see that RTS is making a HUGE swing back in 2025! Cheers as always to hear more of DORF and keep up the great work! Also, Happy Holidays to you if we don't see any updates around Christmas. *tips hat*

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for the comment and support. Glad to know people are reaching to developers personally.

[@Chyrosran22]

Oh man, so nice to finally get to see some release dates :D . And within somewhat reasonable time frame, too! Quite stoked for several of these releases. I don't think the devs behind Industrial Annihilation will ever learn. Honestly their work feels like a cash grab by now, I think. It's interesting you mentioned RTS/FPS hybrids. It's a genre I'd really like to see more of, it's so much fun. I've played quite a bit of Natural Selection 2 and C&C Renegade. It's a difficult tightrope to walk though, I guess. I'm in the testing team for C&C Renegade X Firestorm, an in-development title that's also an RTS/FPS hybrid, although the base building part is admittedly quite limited (it plays more like Battlefield). If you've got any cool tips for RTS/FPS games that are good, please let me know! :D

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for the comment. I mention every such RTS/FPS hybrid I find as I feel like this RTS subgenre needs to get at least one successful game. I replayed C&C Renegade countless times, and have tried out Renegade X in the past. One of my own friends is a tester :) Silica is the one people give a lot of positive comments about, and I talked about it more in my previous video.

[@Chyrosran22]

@@perafilozof I've tried Silica, but either it's just not it, or it needs a lot more time in the oven, I'm not sure yet. At the moment it feels half-baked, either way. With a bit of luck it'll grow out to be a good game though :) .

[@perafilozof]

​@@perafilozof Out of these? D.O.R.F cuz it reminds me of the Old school CnC ganes like RA2 ans TibSun in a good way. And I grew up playing CnC games. Theres also another one I really like cuz of the artstyle, which is Dustfront I think.

Ah nice, thank you for the reply.

[@perafilozof]

That one has too few people working on it.

[@Tentacl]

There is something really pleasing about the Scouring graphics, almost as if it had a miniature or stop moion quality to it. About single x multiplayer, I am a single player dude, but if a game is great AND have a solid skirmish mode with good AI I might play it anyway - if the cost also reflects the lack of a good campaign.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thanks for sharing your impressions of this game and your thoughts on the topic of multiplayer and Singleplayer. I am glad you like the look of the game! Hope you will enjoy it

[@Fenris8800]

Scouring looks interessting! The cover(?) look of D.O.R.F. (which is funny to read as a german btw) seems to be a tribut to KKND. The gameplay looks like mix a C&C and also KKND. Iam very curious about it! After watching several RTS-videos by you - you've got one abo more :D

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for sharing and become a new subscriber! Hope you will discover many more RTS games you like on my channel. Yes, D.O.R.F. is one of the thumbnails used in this video. Different gamers see different influences on it, but it is definitely retro and inspired by a few old school games.

[@darkcyter]

Waiting to how The Scouring turns out, looks like something I might have fun with

[@perafilozof]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it. I hope so!

[@Wafelkowiec]

I love space RTS, but I have 1 pet peeve which I see in some of them. I HATE stationary spaceship combat. What I mean is that ship reaches it's effective range then stops and starts shooting. It just hovers there and unloads into enemy, no evasion, no inertia, no nothing. It works in land based RTS, but in space it grates on my nerves. I need to see some movement, it can be minimal like small change in elevation, some side to side movement, whatever. Making spaceship perfectly still in combat scenarios is often a "no buy" for me.

[@perafilozof]

That is an excellent point. But it is very hard to produce such a game so developers don't really try much. This is why MP space games give a much more immersive effect

[@Wafelkowiec]

@perafilozof It can't be that hard. Just look at SW: Empire at War. Even when stationary, you can press space (cinematic camera which should be mandatory for every space rts) and observe fighters flying around your ships. And during battle, it's cinema. The only static ships are long-range missile corvettes. The sight of huge imperial destroyers slowly moving forward (despite long since entering max range) feels great. It's like observing Battle over Scarif for the first time every time. The same goes for Gothic Armada 2, where manoeuvring is crucial. Just in this video, compare Existance:TOR and Battlestar Galactica: 2 static blobs of ships exchanging fire vs. line ship on full throttle engaging enemies in every direction while point defence sweating to escape a salvo. I don't want to throw shade at E:TOR as their scope is bigger, with land portion, they are indie, and I'm just doing Statler and Waldorf number on the net instead of being productive. I wish them the best and they will be on my wishlist because as I said: I love space RTS.

[@perafilozof]

I know and understand your wishes, but the sad truth is there is obviously not enough potential in the market for people who invest in such games. You can find developers easy, but the money for the investment...

[@R4ZORLIGHT]

Has anyone here ever hear of / play Goblin Commander? It was a old RTS game years ago that had multiple goblin factions, base building and sometimes 3rd person unit control. Truly a unique game and one I'd love to see tried again in modern days. Be that a spiritual successor or a proper sequel . I can still hear the *MUNCH MUNCH* "MMMMmmmm" sound bit from the giant ogre unit after eating something

[@Von_Langstein]

My fav was the red goblin faction with the sharpshooters. they had such a cool look, and being able to enter some of your buildings was also neat from the units perspective

[@perafilozof]

I saw some sort of a Goblin something game on Steam... but I didn't like what was there shown right now. So I haven't included it in my videos so far. I hope I can find something similar you will enjoy in the future!

[@Von_Langstein]

@@perafilozof "Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde" is the full name of the game I'm remembering. It came out in 2003 on Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube.

[@keithcastillo5434]

multiplayer requires fast button mashing when single player you can relaxe and not worry about the quality of internet connection.

[@perafilozof]

It is even more than that, but that is beside the point here. Simple a lot more players want a singleplayer story campaign rather than multiplayer PvP. And more importantly for the developer, they are more likely to buy.

[@thanasisbratzos8754]

Have you tried Beyond all reason? It is a spiritual successor of total annihilation and it is a very nice game and most important free to play

[@perafilozof]

[@MKnight47]

I think most ppl avoid the multiplayer is due to skill gaps pressure thats why they like to have campaign instead... if only there's away to attract ppl to play multiplayer even if its just coop

[@perafilozof]

This is very true. This is why co-op is such a great mode, you play with others and learn from them while not being outplayed.

[@cp1cupcake]

It might just be me, but I tend to find any early-access, no matter how complete, as a way for free testing. One of the only, if not the only, game I bought in EA decided to release a lot of ....... contraversial changes in the week before release. Last I checked, I think the devs have stopped support for it and it still hasn't received all of the planned features I was anticipating. And that was from a game which is considered very good.

[@perafilozof]

Hello and thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences on the topic of Early Access games. I have had all sorts of experiences myself, but one thing I definitely disapprove of is setting a high price on very little content.

[@MrTBSC]

@@perafilozof you disapprove of pricing based on low content, fair enough but i have to ask you this if said game had a KS and preorder for a set price and then for whatever reason the devs decide to release a EA version (lack of funding or simply get people in really early) do you think it fair for future EA players to buy in at a lower cost than what KS or preorder people already spend? now the common answer of people will be, wait until 1.0 release, maybe even wait for a sale after thoroughly reading/watching reviews and first impressions content (because i know i will) why preorder? why back a game on KS? why get into EA in the first place? that's for the individual to decide if they want to spend cash before a product is done or in its 1.0 release, risking to potentially lose cash they may deem disposable

[@perafilozof]

@@MrTBSC Hi, funding developers based on your preference, like, love, or just being supportive is fantastic in my book. I know I overpaid dozens of games I loved to see made. But once you go into EA to sell a product there has to be something you are selling that is at least close to the value of that money. You can probably find yourself games with 10 times more content for the price of IA right now.

[@MrTBSC]

@@perafilozof as said it's up to the individual if they want to risk spending cash on EA ... to me it's a matter of properly disclaiming where the current state of the game is, give the consumer a clear and transparent overview of what they get themselves into for the asking price for them to decide with the proper information if they really want to invest the money now or rather wait what i am currently seeing is that too many people seem to harshly bash and rather reviewbomb the game .. which is not constructive to anyone at all .. and many seem to have beef with the devs because of PA ... and then go further reviewbomb this game simply out of spite .. what happened to rational constructive critique?

[@perafilozof]

I agree just getting up on the bandwagon isn't helpful to anyone. Expectations are a big thing and when you break those people who didn't read the specifics will go vengeful on you. That is the nature of things. But still, EA means something universally on Steam. Developers should have known this.

[@TheWarriorofHonor]

Industrial Annihilation. Gosh did I look forward to that game and damn was I disapointed. I really hope devs get the curve on this one, cause the release looked outright like a scam. And if I learned anything from following Indiegames for close to a decade now, it is that the first impression of your game really, REALLY can make or break a game.

Grass and similar vegetation in RTS is often just a few very visible quads slapped together to forma a patch. Or no object at all, just a ground texture. Tho it seems it's changing now. I recall being impressed by vegetation in Sudden Strike 4. Up to that point I think only Original War had noticeably good grass in RTS...) 24:43 - Late first war basestar from Blood and Chrome ❤ First Cylon war ships were so much better.

Urgh, super disappointing to hear that there were no lessons learned by Industrial Annihilation devs. Planetary Annihilation was much the same; released too early and only in the last couple of years became fleshed out (them having the cheek to release a paid extra game (Titans) to actually finish the work. I guess it was silly of me to ever get my hopes up for any game coming from those devs.

I definitely perfer campaign/story to multiplayer personally. I have probably had the most fun playing multi with friends but once multi dies down if you have no/poor campaign then the game is kinda pointless :( a good campaign is ever-green

[@perafilozof]

That is a very good point in favor of a game having a singleplayer in the first place or made and added later.

[@mesarthim640]

Oh my oh my... The scouring looks awesome after the total failure of blizzard remaster... Especially since Warcraft 1 is still a game I very much love. DORF still looks so awesome. The progress seems pretty good, it will be a blast ! Industrial Annihilation is an epic fail. Read the comments and watched some videos about it, it's not an EA, it's a tech demo with nothing in it. I'm so disappointed by the devs. After testing the demo, I know I will jump again on pre-purchase stuff with Tempest Rising ! I shouldn't but I won't be able to stop myself. Really interested by Xeno Conflict... I'm really digging the visuals, let's hope it turns out well. Been following Existence for a while now, after trying the demo, I felt lost, the game felt clunky and complicated with the army customization, not sure this one is ready either with a lot more development time, it could be pretty good. Crown of Greed is really making me think about Age of Darkness, in other words, it looks amazing ! I really love the aesthetic. Loved Majesty so this one could be super fun. Empire Eternal is a game I'm a bit worried about, we'll see what people think? It looks good but it also looks tedious and tedious management is not what I"m looking for in a RTS. Endeavor and a few other on the list look very good but I don't feel like they will be ready for 2025 but I wish them the best and I'll be sure to keep an eye out when they'll release.e I'm glad to see nice games on the way when game awards were so disappointing and plagued with DEI.

@@mesarthim640 hi and thank you very much for leaving so much feedback on so many of these games. It really helps me in what I do to learn from the audience and talk to both sides, devs and players. Endeavor might not look the best, or play the best, but for the very first game from its developer it shows incredible talent. The rest do need more time to get better and more complete while Tempest Rising, I think, only needs more players playing to iron it out completely.

[@mesarthim640]

@@perafilozof You're welcome, I enjoy commenting because I know you will read and answer me no matter how much I write. TBH, Tempest Rising is already fantastic, it plays well and I can't wait to see the 3rd faction. Endeavor is a game I am very much looking forward to but just like Hyperwar, Incarnus Warfare and Fractured alliance, it's a game which will need time. All those already look very good but they need more time to become a success. And I do not want them to make the same mistake as Industrial Annihilation which is an absolute shame: Dear devs, don't do that, ever ! RTS is a genre that is already not very successful but if you do this, you're going to make our community lose trust in the RTS genre. Anyway, pretty glad things are slowly coming along, I'm always eager to see more RTS but I do not wish to see them to soon if they're not ready.

Hello ! I cover it from time to time. I noticed a few updates lately I could cover in the next video.

[@revan1202]

Actually it's true, I hade multiplayer because the devs will be forced to keep everything "E-Sport" like aka starcraft and dota 2 are the biggest two that made me fall off. I want to have fun in a story with overpowered units or at least chaos. The closest games was early dota 2 and Command and conquer generals if I had to multiplayer. But mainly I play tactical games against the AI when against players. It's intimidating in the worst way not fun like in an FPS way or mmo pvp battle. It's also the sad reason we will never see any of the stolen old RTS games make a real comeback from the AAA studios they want to monetize it to the grave also another reason I truly stopped playing dota 2 the community kept getting toxic and too much in my face market shit.

[@perafilozof]

Hello and thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic. Many agree with you and it is the reason so few games in this genre are successful as they spent too much effort in multiplayer. People mostly buy for the Singleplayer.

[@Movies4118]

Not sure what polling data was used to determine that people prefer single player campaigns over multiplayer in RTS. The whole point of RTS games is strategy. It's literally the 'S' in RTS. Is it because of some kind of generational shift? Where younger players prefer single player over multiplayer strategy?

[@perafilozof]

I am sorry if this is going to be a shock to you, but the multiplayer player crowd, while loud and heard online, is a much smaller % than the total number of players. You can easily see this whenever a big strategy game launches, which has multiplayer, because it loses 70-90% of its player base very quickly as players finish the campaign. This was always the case. People by for the singleplayer but stay for the multiplayer. The rest, move onto the next game. Every playtest that has skirmish AND multiplayer, most players stay in the skirmish and not join the matchmaking in multiplayer. The data is there, it is a fact.

[@mneri82]

the data is out there strategy games are normally popular as single player titles.

While singleplayer is a game mode that huge part of the fanbase likes, ultimately competitive/fun (and i would say mostly competitive) mode is what really gets rts to be succesfull.

[@perafilozof]

@@josemarialeivavera5920 Hi and thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic. It really depends on how your frame success and for who. A developer can only consider a game successful if they can live off of it and make another. If they have to get another job while a few thousand people play the multiplayer, that is not success for them.

@perafilozof you often stay connected with every indie developer that's great please also contact with Blizzard studio and ask them why the hell they are not releasing new Warcraft games why they are focusing on mobile games and remakes ??

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thanks for the comment. Indie developers are great people but they need to join up and exchange knowledge. So many start from 0 knowledge on so many aspects of marketing, publishing, Steam EA protocol and PR that they end up spending too much time to learn such stuff instead of developing their game more. This is something I will talk in depth in an upcoming video. As for Blizzard, every question you have has one answer : "more money".
