Liked Total Annihilation? Then you'll love this!

[Kuldan]

.. there is JUST the Game you guys might be interested in:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts

Want to deorbit an Asteroid and drop it on Jeb? Go on, thats actually a viable strategy as far as the trailer is concerned..

(I know, it needs a mod with little green men..other than that, perfect

[_Aramchek_]

No, I'd like weapons in THIS game.

Although having seen that the other day I would also like that game.

[sal_vager]

Squad have no plans to add weapons to KSP, and want to keep KSP a non-violent game.

Any weapons that KSP sees will be from the add-on community only

[beastcat]

I have no interest for weapons in KSP. But Planetary Annihilation looks totally awesome!

[KAO]

as far as I know, Squad would like to extend this game to the schools sector one day. Which I personally think is a genuinely great idea. Weapons will no doubt be added by third-party modders

but thank you so much for showing me that game, I plan on getting it.

A game that looks like TA, plays like TA, kinda sounds like TA and HAS TA'S ORIGINAL NARRATOR!

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

[Felsmak]

That game looks more epic than words could ever describe.

[Rainbow Dash]

Must have game...... must donate.......

[sal_vager]

This thread is now totally Off-Topic, time to get my carving knife

[Kuldan]

Heh Salvager, no hard feelings.. I kinda thought it fits in off topic m ore, but the footprint would be bigger on general, especially with the kerbal at war sticky.. well, fair enough though, glad you guys enjoy the link .. I really hope this project comes to fruition

[Awaras]

Epic. Donated.

[sal_vager]

It's had a good run in General, but don't worry, Off-Topic has a lot of traffic as well, have you looked at it's thread and post count? 32,460 over Generals 19,355 so don't worry, you still have a big footprint

And I'd prefer this thread have a life here than it just getting locked for being in the wrong place, oh and to stay on topic myself, that does look like an amazing game, I pledged

[Spoot Knight]

The TA/SC inspiration is clear as day in this, but the additional base expansion to other celestial bodies, its tactical implications, and weaponizing asteroids is ridiculous.

Ridiculously awesome.

[Warshawski]

It kickstarted yesterday, with a funding goal of 900 grand...

Today, it has 261 grand.

I smell awesomeness in the works.

Donating!

[deadshot462]

Looks good. This looks like what Spore should have been in the civ/space age. Like KSP, indie games do it best nowadays when it comes to innovative concepts.

[Endeavour]

This looks amazing! I never played Total Annihilation because I was like 2 when it came out, but if it was like this I need to check it out.

Supreme Commander was a decent sequel/reemagining of TA, so if you haven't already, try that first. As for TA, it was a classic. I think there are some mods/total conversions out there that update the graphics and stuff. Look around.

[James510]

Welp this is something else to look forward to. Looks awesome already.

For you guys that haven't played TA, the Spring RTS engine has a free version called Balanced Annhilation.

The game seems pretty good, I like the design style, really hope they stick with that.

More importantly though is that we're seeing different methods of funding take hold on the game developing industry, hopefully this could lead to a rise in the number of games that become Open Source or Free Software (free as in freedom, not gratis).

I'm also amazed at how low the funding goal is, I would imagine that games of that magnitude would take a lot more money to develop.

I don't think they raised 100% of the funds via Kickstarter - I'd imagine that they still have some of their own funding and some cash flow from that MNC game

The artistic style is perfect for this kind of game - no fluff whatsoever! Also even with 900.000$ it will still be one of the larger kickstarts once sucessful.

Robot artillery and linux support - it keeps getting better! Only thing that makes me sad is the intended release date :| Any info yeton when they plan a beta?

[Ydoow]

Looks good, but I hope there's a lot more to the game than what they just showed.

Like a lot more. I like my RTS games to have TONS of content

[flaillomanz]

I loved totalA.

SupCom fell flat, even as a spiritual successor to TA.

This is the embodiment of what I wanted from the sequel to TA.

Throwing large rocks at planets.
