Sanctuary: Shattered Sun is the upcoming sci-fi real time strategy on a grand scale, with both base building and unit combat featuring a commander unit, three distinct factions, just two resources, three technology levels, a streaming economy system, weather control and it is set on a Dyson Sphere built around our very own Sun in the distant future.
🛒 Steam store link: store.steampowered.com/app/16...
This is the newest gameplay footage with updated graphics, effects, models, the strategic overview and incredible performance even with thousands of units on the screen as Sanctuary is designed to work smoothly even up to 10,000 units on its vast battlefields of grass, ice and sand.
In closed testing the game works with 100 frames per second, and for Dev team members with better GPUs even up to 200fps. This is thanks to the work they've put into the architecture of the core engine, which supports multithreading and latest rendering techniques.
A Kickstarter campaign for Sanctuary: Shattered Sun will be launching soon and a beta version of the game is aimed to be released at around the same time in the first half of 2024. The developers are not targeting any particular release date as they want to be flexible and also not disappoint their future players if any unexpected problems come up during development.
The three factions of Sanctuary: Shattered Sun are the Earth Defence Alliance which are the regular humans, as posted to the post-humans who have transferred their consciousness from flesh to machine calling themselves The Chosen. Last faction is the robotic Guard, which is the AI caretaker of Sanctuary called Ra.
The two resources which make up the economy of this game are Alloy and Energy. At this point you are probably releasing this game is a spiritual successor of Supreme Commander and Total Annihilation. Complete with an economy system where you don’t spend resources upfront for unit manufacturing and building construction but bit by bit as the process nears completion.
Other similarities are the existence of a commander unit, strategic overview, three technology levels and simulated weapons fire which can be dodged by movement or reflected by shields. The difference in the commander unit in Sanctuary: Shattered Sun is the ability to resurrect your commander in a different chassis but at a substantial cost of Alloys and Energy.
Other important differences in gameplay to those old predecessor games and especially the newer ones like Zero-K or Beyond All Reason, are the ability to control the weather and open up chasms in the superstructure of the Dyson Sphere you are playing on. So while in Beyond All Reason you can demolish the ground enough to create new water or lava flows in Sanctuary you can freeze the entire map or make a hole large enough that units will drop down into the Sun itself.

[@mega0056]

I am personally not upset about delays. I think it's great for developers to tell us that they need more time on their games. I do think not having a hard release date is the best as their is less pressure from the audience, us, and less pressure on them to complete it.

[@perafilozof]

Oh I agree about the moving goalposts, but I dislike developers/publishers changing set dates 1,2,3,4 times and more. Like just put TBA until you are truly ready. Thank you for the comment. What do you think of this game so far?

[@Miketar2424]

Delays happen , but there really is a downside to this modern crowd-funded approach to development. In many cases, the bulk of the money made in these projects is during development, even if the project falls through or does not live up to the expectations. Frost Giant just started an entirely new Kickstarter funding campaign where they are basically selling the next round of Beta access for an unfinished game. I really thought this was a terrible idea. Fans will be turned off by the unfinished undeveloped balance of the gameplay, and can only harm the outlook for the project. But I guess at least it allows the new projects to get going.

[@ThePixelatedContinuum]

same, delay all you want if we get a good optimized game

[@perafilozof]

@@Miketar2424 hi, I also feel like Early Access and Kickstarters are slowly draining the confidence of gamers across tje the board due to their prevelence and too many failures along the way. Right now I have started to advise every indie dev team I talk to to get out onto the market with a 1.0 version focused on a finished section of their game that can be called a full release and then ad substantial new parts for free or for money. People respect full releases more and more

Im with you.I love when a strategy game have terrain deformation , and the terrain its self is a part of strategy.The only game I know with this future is Tiberiun Sun , and Men of War series.I hate when the terrain is a flat texture , so the only strategy is to make a huge blob of units and click as fast , as you can like in Starcraft games

[@RedWraiths]

Thankfully Zero-K exists.

​@marekkos3513 it isn't really how starcraft played, but I get your point. I understand why people may dislike the game, but it us definitely not just who clicks the fastest, or just fighting in a single blob of army

[@volodymyr_budii]

I wouldn't say anything big about terrain change could really work in Supcom. There are already a lot of game mechanics and things in the game that already may overwhelm many players, adding anything beyond simple making huge unwalkable hole or a pass in the mountain would be too much. I don't think complex terrain features of Zero-K could fit supcom in any way, and I am happy Sanctuary decs don't go too hard into this

[@xn85d2]

This is the RTS game I'm most hopeful for. AI being a stretch goal is a concern however. Almost every player will want to play vs AI first before multiplayer and some will only play against AI, so it's going to be a core part of the gameplay for many. I also hope they take some time to address unit readability and give the option to hide unit icons when zoomed in. SupCom always looked epic when fights were zoomed in even though you didn't get to zoom in that often, but the icons covering the units got in the way of that.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for sharing your thoughts about the game. Indeed AI is a must, and I am sure the developers are aware. What games like this besides SupCom do you enjoy?

[@volodymyr_budii]

AI is important, but it is no easy to make. AI is useless if you don't have a running game, so for me it makes sense as one of the first stretch goals. Get game working first and then AI. Although I have heard that the AI in stretch goal is a making a good one. Simple AI will likely be a thing anyway

With SC2 I felt they tried to make it a bit more casual or beginner friendly to attract more player's but didn't satisfied the needs of their fans nor attracted new players. Not so regularly played it a little against AI to be competitive enough to make online games but than the star wars interworlds mod for X4 almost sucked up my whole Attention.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thanks for sharing your impressions of the game with us. Great to see another future fan on my channel. Good question about the mini map, could be that it is an option they turned off so gameplay is more visible. What similar games have you played over the years?

@@perafilozof "could be that it is an option they turned off so gameplay is more visible" I sincerely hope so. There are not many similar games.

Like others have said, this particular upcoming RTS is in league with the Supreme Commander games and Total Annihilation. And so, it's bound to resonate with fans of that RTS style.

[@inversepie6512]

@perafilozof I've been an rts fan since the 90s. Command and conquer in the n64 was my first. FAF, a mod to Supreme Commander, is still the best rts to date. Others, such as planetary annihilation or starcrat are good but just dont have lasting appeal.

[@perafilozof]

Thank you for the replay. I am glad to read you think so. Have you tried out BAR?@@inversepie6512

[@inversepie6512]

@perafilozof i have tried BAR. I really like BAR, but I think is suffers the same problem as the Advance Wars Reboot Camp, it sticks way too close to the original work and doesnt add enough new features and balance tweaks. FAF has a whole new campaign, a map generator, numerous survival game modes, an achievement system, team match maker, incredible UI mods like advanced target priorities, advanced scoreboards, eco manager, and many more. (Before you say these are just mods, note that these all started as mods but were integrated into base faf.) More RTS need to try and include these modern features. Any new rts which has only the functions of n64 era command and conquer just with updated graphics is an enormous disappointment to me.

[@perafilozof]

Well BAR has survival. And molding the landscape with bombs and construction bots. And the user controls are out of this world!

Wait what, the *outer* side of the dyson sphere is used as the planetary surface? That's going to be one cold and dark experience. :) Besides that, you can't scale up the surface of earth to the dimensions of a Dyson sphere, you would have seas and single "clouds" the size of a million earths.

[@perafilozof]

Hello, the lore of the game shows and explains that millions of mirrors are outside of the sphere and reflect sunlight to the surface.

[@volodymyr_budii]

Who said Dyson Sphere has to be "big"? I see it the opposite - smaller us better because much cheaper. Even a Dyson Sphere with the diameter of 0.024 AU( at this distance sun also provides around 1G gravity) is extremely huge and will give space for hundreds of trillions of people to live. Being that close also means that Sanctuary can cool down the insides by heating up the outside, and about light you already got the answer. Besides, the main point of the Dyson Sphere is to collect energy, so why waste space by living on the inside of the sphere if you have an option to live on the outside? I am really curious - why all the people think that you can live only on the inside of the sphere.

[@karaloop9544]

@@volodymyr_budii What about the temperature at this distance? Also about every coronal mass ejection would ram straight into your sphere, not to speak of the utter infeasibility ( in contrast to just plain infeasible for a "standard" dyson sphere) of constructing such a thing in a 1G gravity environment.

[@perafilozof]

All great points my friend! Thank you for writing them out.@@volodymyr_budii

[@volodymyr_budii]

@@karaloop9544 Well, temperature just requires some proper cooling and coronal mass ejections could be blocked with shield tech available (or maybe just even magnets, but I am not sure it could work in theory) Regarding your point of "not to speak of the utter infeasibility of constructing such a thing in a 1G gravity environment." I assume you are talking about all the stress put on the structure by gravity without orbital velocity. To go around this - Sanctuary has multiple acceleration rings (or whatever they are named) inside the sphere that are spinning at orbital velocity and are used by the crust to push off of it with magnets and take away stress from it.

[@perafilozof]

I see, and did you try out BAR?@@markswang8987

[@akshayrathore5673]

Will it have story mode ?

[@perafilozof]

Hi, I haven't see any info confirming that. There is a background to its factions, but as for a playable Singleplayer I think that might be a Kickstarter stretch goal. BTW what similar games do you play?

[@Erictraiven]

This will compete with BAR

[@perafilozof]

It sure could. Depends on what the beta brings to the table. It still has a long way to go and it has features BAR doesn't. Do you play BAR regularly?

[@Erictraiven]

@@perafilozof i was waiting for steam launch, right now i dont play it regularly

Ah I see. Thank you for the replay.@@Erictraiven

@@perafilozof Im not OP, but I play BAR regulary. I am not concerned about Sanctuary not having unique features... more concerned about not having all necessary basic features that most other rts have (faf, spring/bar, planetary annihilation). resurrecting units, reclaiming units or wrecks. area commands for reclaiming or resurrecting. patroling. auto-fire on/off. fighting mode of units (hold position, maneuver, roam), movving several units at once with drag gesture using cover the line mechanism, air transporter, using multiple constructors and split and join job queue. shared units mode for a team, wait command, ingame ping and ingame label, spectating games, reviewing played games, RTS has horrible high programming requirements. btw. 8 player multiplayer means a maximum of 4v4 in a two team play. that not enough. not sure who needs 1000 or units on field. just ensure that t3 really fulfils the purpose of a game ender. however 1000 units is impressive. strange thing is, we had 1000 units also in old TA engine with a hack. but CPU and graphics today is another magnitude of performance. in meanwhile we should have 100,000 units. sorry i dont want to be pessimistic and i thank you for all the effort.

[@perafilozof]

@nwo-betriebsphilosoph-6783 hi and thanks for the comment. You managed to name almost everything that made me fall in love with BAR. ( I am making video about it right now). There have been many advancements over the years and those developers of Sanctuary will certainly have to adapt their game to higher player standards.

[@twoinchrazorblade]

hopefully one day a team will apply the supcom game formula to other scifi universes such as star wars or 40k

[@perafilozof]

I would burst from happiness if I ever got to play something like that. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this game with us. Do you play BAR?

[@twoinchrazorblade]

@@perafilozof not before today I played supcom for about 5 years on faf but I haven't played it since 2021 I'm starting to get the itch for it again so I've been looking into rts games and found this vid

[@perafilozof]

In that case you should start here and thank me later once you get into BAR :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpCTYaZ4pdd7sLc

[@volodymyr_budii]

Well, the lore of the game will have to suffer incredibly for that. Both the franchises are not made to suit the gameplay of creating huge armies from nowhere on spot

[@twoinchrazorblade]

@@volodymyr_budii I think orbital drop and mechanicum surfs/ engineers solves it

the biggest delay was falling frontier to 2025 😿😿

[@perafilozof]

Very true. That dev takes to much work on himself. He needs more help.

[@Legather]

Opening chasms to drop down into the Sun? So they're on the outside of a Dyson sphere? With an atmosphere and presumably daylight? Perhaps I'm missing something here but I thought the point of a Dyson sphere was to contain a star and build an inhabitable environment on the inside to fully harness the energy,; if you're cracking holes in the surface you'd drop into space, not the sun.

[@perafilozof]

Hi, this is the most asked question ever on this video :) You can actually see the mirrors what reflect sunlight in the orbit of the Dyson sphere. And it comes from the inside through many holes in the superstructure.

[@Legather]

@@perafilozof But why would they direct energy outside of the sphere designed to fully contain that energy? If there are holes due to the conflict okay but why is there a biosphere, geography on the outside to need solar mirrors? Not the best metaphor but it seems kind of like building a greenhouse, kicking the panes out, putting plants outside those broken panes and setting up fans blowing hot air from inside.

[@Legather]

Maybe you could have it so that these people had to build the inner surface of the sphere so close to the sun that it was impossible to host an environment there? They then placed the liveable layer on the outside of that sphere and then built another solid sphere above to seal the structure to eliminate waste. While clumsy it could work but the artwork just seems like they went to the effort of building an efficiency megastructure and then used it as inefficiently as possible.

[@peterc504]

Yea true i think its kinda silly..does anyone remember planetary annihlation? I dont think the sphere worked as good as jus doing what supreme commander did...Still hoping this game can become the next big step in RTS gaming but am very skeptical as nothing really has come close to supcom..

[@perafilozof]

Its lore my friend. You don't discus it, you read it and like or dislike it :)

[@Ethereal311]

The biggest head scratch I feel like is having naval units when the entire Ocean can freeze or have the water level drop into the abyss that is the Dyson Sphere because someone dropped a nuke. Why would you make a Navy in those circumstances?

[@perafilozof]

I totally get your concern. Maybe because there is no other way to cross some huge parts of the map?

[@Ethereal311]

​@@perafilozof Flying Battleships. Capital Ships in the sky that are extreme late game air units like we see out of the SupCom modding scene.

[@perafilozof]

@@Ethereal311 ooooo sounds insane!

[@volodymyr_budii]

Because naval units are still better on naval maps, and destroying the sphere to drain water is super late game stuff, so you must have your own navy in meantime untill you get it, but then it means you will affect your own navy as well. Also, 1 nuke is not gonna be enough, someone of the devs said at least 3 at roughly same spot, but could be changed with balance later. And about weather controller- it is supposed to be strong and influential, and if you know enemy has controll of it and can freeze water if needed, it means that you just don't need to overspend on navy. Saying navy is useless because can be countered by 2 of thise options is like saying nukes are useless because you can build SMDs. You can counter navy with those tricks, but you aren't gonna have them often

[@shatteredsunrts]

The ocean freeze mechanic will require a player to capture an 'atmosphere generator'. Here's the exact quote from one of the devs: "I showed people the freezing effect. It’s less visually spectacular but far more strategic in how it is used. We’ll have these strategic zones - no one has done that in RTS games before. Sure, there are maybe occasions where you can capture a supply depot or get extra money, but to be able to control whether or not there is a navy. That’s never been done before. So if you control the atmosphere generator you can decide to freeze the ocean and navy cannot be used anymore. All the ships just become trapped. Tanks can roll right across."
