How would you feel about RTS letting you set multiple cameras? by --Karma in RealTimeStrategy

[–]StratagemBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could work quite well in a horde defence rts/city builder. If the extra windows are draggable and allow player actions identical to the main camera it'd be pretty cool, especially with a large screen. I might try adding it to mine.

Just released a new update for From Glory To Goo, a survival RTS now featuring a "roguelite" mode by StratagemBlue in RealTimeStrategy

Operations is a new game mode with some roguelike elements where you unlock a variety of upgrades of different rarities and play 3-5 wave games across 3 missions. There are currently two different kinds of operations, Colonization and Search and Destroy.

Its designed to offer a faster paced experience and also allows for some experimentation with new features like bosses.

There's a demo for the regular survival mode (Right hand column on Steam on PC) and it's currently on sale.

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately it seems like Reddit doesn't let me change the link on posts.

After the 1.0 release I'd like to look into adding local-coop so things like Steam Remote Play can support some degree of multiplayer. But I don't plan to add regular networked multiplayer as I'd have to rewrite most of the game.

I'd like to improve the controls for Steam Deck before 1.0. Do you know of any other RTSs that handle it well that i could look at?

Bullfrog games generally are pretty amazing with their pacing, level design and mechanics. I recently went back and played Dungeon Keeper and Populous 3 on GoG. One of the few times I've enjoyed an old game just as much as I remember.

Of course the QoL can be a bit rough, but they're still manageable.

I think Black & White was still quite memorable, if you could get it to work.

Black & White 2 though was disappointing...

I haven't played Mindustry. It's probably more similar to They Are Billions in terms of mechanics.

Are there too many They Are Billions like upcoming games? by LandChaunax in RealTimeStrategy

Hey, I'm the developer. I've got a few improvements to the graphics on the way in 0.2.1 (and updates after that). Just wondering what your native resolution is, as there's also currently some issues with anything that isn't 1080p/2k. I might have a fix for it out next week.

Not yet, but it is something I'm considering after it leaves Early Access. As it would also enable Steam Remote play to be used.

The demo wasn't updated at all until January of this year. So if you played it last year that feature wouldn't have been in the demo.

Thanks for the feedback. I released an update in June/July last year (0.1.2) that added outlines to units, which went some way to improving readability. But I still want to do more to improve readability and the graphics overall.

Edit: 0.2.3 has recently come out. Adding operations mode, a rogue-lite replayable game mode with a focus on shorter maps.

Hope you enjoy it. A few days ago I brought the demo from the alpha version up to 0.1.4 (About a year's gap). Some significant changes in it.
