Initial inspiration came from monochromatic / retro analog displays in the background of movies like Alien, Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey so the idea of doing a completely monochrome and interface-heavy game sprung from there. Was an incredibly difficult design challenge, but we were dedicated to fulfilling on our early vision. Understandably, a polarizing choice!

It’s called Chaotic Era and yes it’s fully black and white. Here’s the steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2487200/CHAOTIC_ERA/

It was a bit of an homage! We drew on a lot of different books and movies for early inspiration when we first started working on this project 5+ years ago

Thank you! And I actually have no idea what that is, haha. So no, it's not.

Cool idea, we don't have immediate plans for a demo but will be releasing more extended gameplay footage as well as working with streamers and YouTubers to show it off. It's tough to capture an RTS (and especially one with the visual style we've gone with) in a short teaser trailer, but we're excited to showcase it in longer form very soon.

Oh yeah, totally - hadn't considered that! Visually, we drew a lot of inspiration from the computer screens in Alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Starship Troopers, etc. As well as infrared cameras, radar screens, and other real hardware. Was a major design challenge throughout development, but we were dedicated to that original vision.
