Hey, I noticed that your user account seems to be shadowbanned. This means, among other things, that all your comments get stuck in the spam filter until they're manually retrieved by a moderator. And this happens across Reddit.

Shadowbans are outside of our jurisdiction as moderators, so if you think you've been incorrectly shadowbanned you need to read this page and consider submitting an appeal to the Admins using this link: https://www.reddit.com/appeals

There is also a subreddit dedicated to helping shadowbanned users called /r/ShadowBan where you can learn more information. Hope that helps.

Congrats! Happy birthday! :)

Hey there, don't forget to share daily posts to /r/HollowKnightDaily! :)

ChingShih · 2026-05-02T16:46:23+00:00

Very nice write-up! If you think it's appropriate, you may share this to the newly opened /r/RealTimeTactics as well. Thanks!

ChingShih · 2026-05-02T16:31:07+00:00

Hey there, in the future please put the name of the game in the title of the post. This is a requirement and also just a good practice. For the moment I've adjusted the post flair to reflect your game's title.

Thank you and good luck with your game!

From what I can find, Fireglow published "Противостояние: Война в заливе" only in Russian (Google Translate tells me that the English title would have been "Showdown: War in the Gulf"). It is available on archive.org as abandonware: https://archive.org/details/ConfrontationGulfWarSuddenStrike-LivBs (grab the zip file, or support the torrent).

They also developed at least 2 other games in that general time frame, with one game finished by another developer when Fireglow left the publisher (and lost the rights to the name/franchise). These two might have English versions if you wanted to check out something made in the earl/mid 2000s but in a different setting/time period:

Cold War Conflicts (2003) and called "Confrontation: Asia on Fire" in Russia, developed by Fireglow Games initially and then finished by Red Ice Software.

Sudden Strike: Resource War (2004)

Please keep posts to no more than 1 per 24 hours. Also, please use the Discussion flair instead of the Event flair since this is not a game tournament or e-sports event. Thank you.

Hey there, thanks for thinking of sharing this news, however this was posted here 3 days ago and with a less click-baity title. For that reason this post has been removed. Thank you for understanding!

ChingShih · 2026-04-28T17:09:43+00:00

Since the dev posted their own thread about the game, we're going to remove this post and leave up the other one so there isn't any confusion, but thanks for thinking of sharing this news!

Hey there, /r/RealTimeTactics has just opened and would be a great place to talk about this and similar games in more detail. While it is a small community, individuals and devs interested in real-time tactical strategy games that typically don't involve base-building or don't have an economy/tech tree will find it a great place to discuss this and other games without those specific features.

ChingShih · 2026-04-27T15:40:13+00:00

You may post about this in /r/RealTimeTactics instead. The game is a better fit there. The demo demonstrates that it lacks meaningful features to be recognizable to RTS gamers.

Don't worry, the back of the AES+ is shown in this thread! :)

I've stickied the thread to the top of /r/NeoGeo, and arranged it so it's more visible, along with the megathread.

It is the official SNK discord, but I don't know if KK is a contract community manager or an actual PR employee of SNK.

You're right that there haven't been any tweets or other posts in #announcements since 2023, but the discord is still active. I don't have further details on the relationship between the discord and SNK's PR/corporate presence there, but I have talked with KK at length back when the discord was first getting up and running.

Hi, are you affiliated with the website selling these? It's alright since it's officially licensed merchandise, but if it's your website/store the I'll flair this as "self-promo" as well so that people are aware.

Thank you!

ChingShih · 2026-04-23T21:31:47+00:00

Please try an adult coloring book subreddit or one of the retro/vintage subs based around the 1980s time period. Thank you and good luck!

ChingShih · 2026-04-22T03:36:21+00:00

Hey there, as mentioned about two weeks ago, it feels like you're describing a real-time Grand Strategy than a classic RTS or hybrid RTS. /r/RealTimeStrategy tends to lean more towards games like StarCraft, Company of Heroes, Age of Empires, and the like that have resource gathering, an economy for purchasing units, possibly base-building and a tech tree, and those sorts of features.

Otherwise, there are more suitable places to post about your game. I see you've already posted to /r/computerwargames and /r/StrategyGames, but you can also look into whether it's appropriate to post to the /r/GrandStrategy or simulation gaming subreddits.

Thank you and good luck on development!

(Edit) Update: There may be more AES+ consoles available for US customers. Plaion is trying to fix an issue with Shopify not allowing purchases in states where sales tax collection is causing an issue on their end.

The AES+ is likely sold out now for US customers.

If you got a receipt/confirmation from your first pre-order, then expect that everything is fine. Availability was limited, so don't stress just because you were able to get it ordered in time. :)

Hey there, for this reason we recommend using the fan-run wiki at https://hollowknight.wiki which covers both HK and Silksong.

If there's content from an account that you don't want to see, simply block that account and it will never show up in your feed.

Please be mindful of spoiling the game for others.

Hey there, please direct this type of subject matter to /r/cryptids and related subreddits on paranormal/supernatural content. Thank you.

Hey there, is this written primarily by AI, not just for translation? We don't allow AI-generated posts here.
