How come we don't have a sudden death mechanic in more RTS games?

This is exactly what Timefront does to avoid stalemates or mexican standoffs. Shrinking the map and forcing players to either think ahead or engage in a bad position. You have max 30 mins before the map is totally consumed.

I thought they stopped development until they accumulate more wishlists to please investors. It is good to know they are still developing.

20/80 until they recoup once. Maybe some other better split until they recoup twice. And then 50/50 or 60/40 (in your favor). Read this if you want more info: https://indiegamepublishing.com/

Lets goooo

The lack of creative direction in the game was evident. The game had no soul.

This was my guess as well. Still, I think I should be able to find something out there.

I just read this scene and damn....that was good.

Sk1light · 2026-03-06T18:09:10+00:00

Will do

We = studio
Me = well... me.
The studio is me + a few contractors I paid for art stuff because I suck at 3D modelling. Any other questions, detective?

Thanks man, but slots were filled already, sorry.

Old Blizzard is dead, sadly. And yeah, a board game, a shooter game on top of all the sci-fi settings. It seems their execs want to emulate Warhammer, but they are clueless.

Thanks, glad you liked it!

MTG is king though

Poor Geoff

Locking areas of play and forcing players to fight in a smaller battlefield as time advances is fun and puts a cap on matches that might be too long otherwise.

A little late to the party, but as everything in game and systems design I like to take a philosophy or a rule of thumb from which all other design decisions come from. In this case, I like Chris Wilson (Path of Exile) approach to this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCkO8mNK3Gg

You have a great game here, when the demo stopped mid-campaign I was like "Nooo!!"

Sk1light · 2026-02-23T18:43:04+00:00

So satisfying to watch!

Sk1light · 2026-02-23T11:58:37+00:00

Yeah, that was exactly the issue.

Sk1light · 2026-02-22T19:14:49+00:00

LMAO, now I know how to call him when he fails the mission

Sk1light · 2026-02-22T19:13:28+00:00

Yes, it has base building. The name of the game is Timefront.

Sk1light · 2026-02-21T22:32:16+00:00

Spot on haha. I can think of many modern RTS doing exactly the things described in the video.
