Link to website

This game is pure awesome, easy to mod, and has lots of mods already too

Links on the main page:
DevLog = Place where the people who make the game post official updates/etc (download the game from here)
Fan Forum = Place to download mods/scenes/etc for the game

It's basically, you have a base with a brain-in-a-jar (death of this = lose, it controls everything) somewhere in it. You can send for reinforcements/supplies via a buy menu where you select what craft you want, which units you want, which weapons you want, etc. There are two teams. Team 2 is either player or computer controlled.

Anything else to be said would probably be explained better by the people who made the game, so go to the site

Also, make sure you install Build 18 (or later, when they finish B19/etc), they keep the old download links on their site for some reason :rofl:

This game is still in the beta stage so it's going to be a bit buggy, and the AI isn't too smart (they're fixing that next version).

Yeah, as I pointed out in IRC, the AI is rather weak and there's this whole thing with the bug where you can pick green as a team colour in vs AI matches to have the AI landers drop units belonging to you... ... otherwise, I have a very positive impression of the graphics and the physics simulation of this game; it's been a while since I last saw something this realistic and having potential.

*bump*

It would appear that they finally brought out a new release[1]. However, with all the limitations on the "non-bought" version in place now, despite some somewhat interesting seeming upgrades, it actually seems worth less than the previous build.

At this rate, I'll probably look for a crack; if that's how few of the gameplay is going to be viewable in the demo, it wouldn't suffice to commote me to pay for it (and I can imagine it's the same for many others)

Thoughts?

1 their devlog, with the download link

Mmm. I remember playing this for awhile ago, and while it was fun... it was rather uninteresting to only play against computer opponents as I recall.

I probably try the newer version soon. As I remember, the biggest problem was the lack of network play.

Interestingly, the game is going to start off cheap when commercialized but get more and more expensive as it gets more finished.

I played an earlier build over a year ago and have to say they've added a lot of new stuff but there's still a fair share of glitches and sloppiness with the latest build as well..

If you don't buy it now (while it's still $18) then the longer you wait the more you have to pay (eventually $38, which is rather rediculous, most computer games are only $20-25).
