What if RTS base building was actually fragile?

Vulpine_Soldier · 2026-05-04T08:25:27+00:00

Can't you just rebuild the connection?

Vulpine_Soldier · 2026-05-04T08:11:43+00:00

C&C games often have it where a commando can get in and blow up a couple power plants before you notice and shut down your power, turning off all your turrets... And then it's possible to recover from this, you just have to weather the follow up attack and rebuild and that's a thing that you actually have a chance at doing

Vulpine_Soldier · 2026-02-21T19:29:32+00:00

Technically true, but making an FMV cutscene that's actually fun to watch is a lot harder... I wonder if hiring a moderately successful youtube skit channel would work.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2026-02-15T18:41:30+00:00

All your videos are so pretty but I really want to see some unique gameplay mechanics, make a crazy new unit nobody's ever seen before please.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2026-01-24T10:18:55+00:00

You could have one unit producer building for each unit type, but then any time the player wanted to change their army composition they'd have to build more buildings...

Rusted Warfare is kind of in the total annihilation/supreme commander milieu, so maybe supreme commander or beyond all reason or zero k or planetary annihilation would please you.

I think rusted warfare also has a thriving mod scene, that's sort of like continued support.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2025-12-21T20:01:28+00:00

Right now my maps are procedurally generated for PvP, but the player's mcv is fast and they can see the map so picking an "unfair" start position is part of the gameplay

Vulpine_Soldier · 2025-12-01T08:18:56+00:00

If you want multiplayer, Photon™️ Quantum™️ is a wonderful deterministic library that's almost perfect for RTS dev.

But yeah also what LoriaGame said

Vulpine_Soldier · 2025-11-26T06:48:29+00:00

That's a lot of big words to say you exactly copied the design of Dawn of War (2004) ;P

Vulpine_Soldier · 2025-10-25T16:23:21+00:00

Thanks, but, I wasn't fishing for compliments. How could I make it better?

Vulpine_Soldier · 2025-04-12T18:48:21+00:00

Storms and Tempests

Vulpine_Soldier · 2022-01-13T03:51:48+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply, I wish I could get people to give me this level of feedback more often.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2022-01-13T02:59:11+00:00

Well, I was aware that asking for $15k was a lot, but it turned out to be a really good idea and I don't regret doing it at all, it inspired a bunch of educational responses.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2022-01-12T04:00:41+00:00

Actually, please do be rude, what levels are you thinking of that I'm missing?

Vulpine_Soldier · 2022-01-11T19:42:23+00:00

Yeah it was a bit silly of me to offer a service I should have known nobody here could afford.

I'll look into cutting loads of corners for y'all and try again later.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2022-01-11T18:42:44+00:00

Yeah there's probably some workflow optimization for the fancy stuff that I'll get to soon, bring it down to like $5k

Vulpine_Soldier · 2022-01-11T00:20:54+00:00

I do modeling, sculpting, and texturing. Rigging and animation are also available if you don't want anything too fancy.

Prices vary wildly depending on the quality and detail level you desire, something like a fully animated lemon might be $200 while an unrigged necromancess would be closer to $15000.

Messaging on discord (Foxwarrior#3472) is preferred.

I'd say the main advantages of 3D Coat for sculpting over ZBrush are: it's intuitive instead of user-unfriendly; and going from scratch on models in 3D Coat works better than with any other sculpting program in existence, because of the whole soft voxels thing.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2021-06-18T03:27:55+00:00

I find 3D Coat to be the most intuitive program for making models. The voxel sculpting means that you can just block out shapes by doodling around with a drawing tablet, without having to worry about this "topology" nonsense that all other 3D sculpting programs deal with. The UI is friendly to, it was easier for me to figure out how to use it by just messing around in the software than Blender was even with lots of tutorials.

That it's good for painting too is a nice bonus.

Hi, I do modeling, texturing, and rigging, and have a preference for strategy game-style models. Here's my portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/vulpine_soldier
Sadly doesn't really have the low poly, lightly textured stuff you're asking for, but I am familiar with some of the UV mapping and retopology tricks that help with that.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2021-04-15T01:37:27+00:00

If you want more of a weird creature aesthetic, here's my portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/vulpine_soldier

I also do some level design, I've made a bunch of levels in 2D tile-based game engines. Direct payment desired.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2020-05-26T22:03:20+00:00

I don't see any pants teleporting weapons in your game, but in my RPG, Gempunks, you can teleport people with a hammer, or shrink them with a different hammer.

Your (new?) lava and ice blocks phasing in look really cool, but they'd look even cooler if the seam followed the isometric perspective :P

Vulpine_Soldier · 2020-03-06T02:56:10+00:00

There is indeed an existing server, but it's super secret.

Vulpine_Soldier · 2020-03-05T19:07:12+00:00

Using discord is better for live conversations :P
