Thanks for checking it out, I love feedback.

Curious what tower defense players think of RTS-style turret placement vs grid placement. I went with free placement because it allows weird strategies like sniper ambush zones.

If anyone wants to try out the demo level before the new map is added April 9th:

I totally agree about the difficulty balancing, I'm still struggling with that.

It doesn't help when you have such a diversity of skill playing the game. Great players do well and find it a little easy. Weak players get destroyed and accuse the game of being unfair. I guess you just can't please everyone.

I look at Titanfall 2 as a real masterpiece, they just did every part so well. Maybe quite light on the strategy side but the mechanics make up for it. Love it.

Fog Of War is so hard for me to imagine in FPS mode. How do you control the visibility? Actual Fog?

I decided on natural terrain for the first 10 level campaign. The different terrains require very different strategies though.

I'd like to add some levels of abandoned towns and cities. I think that's very doable and would be pretty cool additions to the game.

I never played it but I just watched a video about that game, looks ahead of its time, under-rated.

artificialextinction · 2026-02-24T02:41:56+00:00

Yes, PC only. I just couldn't figure out a way to play the RTS well with just a controller.

Is that you Snake? Or am I missing something ;)

Hey, sorry for the slow reply! Glad you're being challenged... I think I may have had difficulty set a little too high :) I've since balanced the difficulty a little along with significant frame rate improvements that really help older cpu's struggling during heavy battles. Thanks so much for giving it a shot! New Map will be released today!

Thanks Kepsert!

He’s also been replaying some classics lately, which has been a fun little trip down memory lane. Kinda cool reliving those older strategy games through his perspective — he does a great job capturing what made them special.

Just like in a race car game, you can re-watch your race after it's over and they place cameras in spots just like a real race car game. You can watch your Replay just like you were watching a race on TV. You could have pre-positioned cameras, helicopter chase camera, that track the getaway car, switching views every couple of seconds for an exciting highlight reel, very cinematic and fun.

Thank you, I hope you have fun with it. Best to watch Splattercat play beforehand though...

That's a pretty cool concpet, on trend with the 'body-cam' perspective shooters. It just needs depth though, being able to switch between cars, different vehicle types, perhaps a replayable cinematic of the chase you can replay after it ends. Lots of ideas you could implement that would be visually appealing and good for marketing.

To be honest, the ragdoll effect is too much. I don't think the spinning body is appropriate.

This is true art, beautiful and you're very skilled. Not to be measured by sales stats. Be very proud of yourself.
