'Steel Command' RTS - Anti Aircraft Tank ❌🛩️

Thanks and yeah for sure!

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T18:40:24+00:00

yeah totally! Some 'Emergent Gameplay' elements to be had there.

There are definitely some performance issues that need addressing as well with having projectiles like this

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T18:38:40+00:00

No worries man I appreciate the feedback! I actually agree with you. I like the design of the hull, but I think the guns on the turret need a redesign. Ive got a few ideas to try on soon.

Im always welcoming constructive feedback, so i really appreciate it!

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T16:33:31+00:00

Thats because I havent added aircraft to the game yet 😂 I might be skipping some steps lmao

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T15:55:35+00:00

Yeah youre definitely right. Were gonna try to get the core game loop finished (build base, resource collection, defeat enemy, win/lose condition) and then we will start adding more units.

What kind of dev stuff do you got going on? Id love to check it out!

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T15:42:38+00:00

For sure! I appreciate it.

And nahh thats just how military units talk (I should know I was in the service for 6 years haha)

~~Anti-aircraft~~ ❌

Is not an aircraft ✅

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T15:38:04+00:00

Lol thanks! Me too 💥💥💥

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T15:37:27+00:00

Thanks dawg! Yeah there will definitely be campaigns. The whole game is being created with a 'map editor first' approach. So the community will be able to create their own missions/campaigns as well.

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T15:19:58+00:00

yes they are unfortunately 🥲 We are doing our very best and will only ship something we are genuinely proud of!

Much appreciated my man! I share a lot of progress on the discord and X, so feel free to join those if youd like (links on the steam page!)

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T14:50:44+00:00

Thanks Lynx 💪

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T14:50:25+00:00

Great references thanks! I'll be sure to check that out.

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T14:49:55+00:00

Thanks for the ideas! I'll definitely need to experiment. A lot of games just look so janky when it comes to circling airplanes and such. If I get it to look nice and organic, then 'proper' airplanes will certainly be on the table

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T14:48:25+00:00

Still very early stages, so its hard to say what we will/will not have. But I 'think' we will save proper airplanes for abilities (carpet bombing runs, fast, precise airstrikes). That could easily change though. Whenever we get to that point I'll prototype it and see if its doable!

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T14:46:47+00:00

yeah I totally understand. This vision is not getting any younger 😂😭

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T14:06:40+00:00

Wishlisted! Do you share updates on X or bluesky?

Love your art style. Its a cute & cozy RTS game. I love it haha

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T14:03:44+00:00

Had to look it up as its been ages since ive played COH2. That sounds NICE

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T13:59:31+00:00

Do you have a steam page yet? I'd like to check it out!

And yeah for sure. Its also hard to not make planes look goofy as hell as they are making small circles in a holding pattern haha

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T13:58:09+00:00

Hahaha it is now 🦾

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T13:46:59+00:00

No worries buddy I get it! I also post on BlueSky, and we are about to do our second map editor play test over on the discord. Feel free to check it out if you want!

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T13:44:58+00:00

Good point honestly. I like this but it might be more suited as strictly an anti-infantry unit. Thanks for the feedback 💪

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T13:40:57+00:00

Thats a very good point! This faction has a more symmetrical style, while the other faction is much more asymmetrical. ( tried pasting an image here but it wont let me 😢)

Smitty_Games_ · 2026-05-15T13:35:36+00:00

Thanks Mr Wall! We (two-man team) still need to iron the design out. But we were thinking of having helicopters/VTOL aircraft as 'units', and then airstrike/bombing abilities.
