The Demo for Dust Front is releasing on Monday, it seems youtubers have gotten early access to the Demo already.Here's the video for the Demo Trailer:https://youtu.be/q4m_KvHLXuo?=TCE2cwyT1BlW6YpRActual Gameplay + an Overview of the mechanics:https://youtu.be/vnSMPsap4zQ?=UN9CTTohNnOhJXoAAnd it seems that Dimon got his hands on the guy who did the music for Terminator Dark Fate Defiance:https://youtu.be/tDetWO0yhhQ?=xht3P9JvS55moYvDI have been waiting for this game for a very long time, it seems to be better than I initially expected.
>>2450526I didn’t know that. Something to keep in mind if I get around to messing with windows me and xp64 on junker pcs.
>>2435488Dust Front gives players what they want.ZeroSales gives game designers what they want.Remember how Operation Metro was the most popular map in BF3 and DICE designers spent years afterwards saying how it was the worst thing they ever made and trying to avoid recreating any of it ever again?
>>2428355this feels like a browser game. >6% cpu, 12% gputhe only good thing about it; it runs on every potato and the filters make the low poly graphics look better than they normally would be.
>>2429252Lmao
This game is fucking rad. There are so many neat little abilities and upgrades tucked away in buildings and units granted, that could also be interpreted as a UI flaw
Previous: >>2408434Insyaa update? Sorry, no time, I must do another Serpentspine run.
It's crazy how this mod takes 5 minutes to load under Windows, but takes like 10 seconds under linux.
>>2465314Interdasting. Once I decide on what version to use I'll start running it from there. Does it require Steam to play?
>>2465324>Does it require Steam to play?No, it runs on the electricity
>>2465324Nah I think they release direct download version, but idk where. If you can't find it just use https://steamworkshopdownloader.io/
>>2465324No
As with the title - Do they exist? Preferably something autistic, realistic and rich in detail akin to Rule the Waves or Aurora.Hard mode : something newer not from Dos/early PC eraHarder mode : something set in late cold war/early 90s for that classic Twilight 2000 vibe.
>>2424041>>2424110>>2424136>>2424119Speaking of IFZ, seems next update is adding Electricity and "Traits" which will modify how the game behaves and begins.There's a Survey currently ongoing on what players what to see added next update:https://forms.gle/VPAVgPNTPn9g5QSz9
>>2424041"The Long Night" mod for dwarf fortress.Turns df into a post apocalyptic cyperpunk hellhole where Earth is now unrecognizable.
>>2424136It kinda sounds like a gimmick of a setting, but I can see how it would be a mix of modern and pre-modern standards
Dead State you build up a high school with defenses and facilities after a zombie apocalypse, but it isn't a free build thing or anything; and outside of the turn-based tactical engagements it's mostly people management.
>>2461799that game is unfinished and abandoned by the dev
I'm at the point in my life where I just want some hot girls in my strategy games.
Fag genre. Overall there's a big preference for realistic-ish settings without women in combat/leadership roles. Mostly weebs are into that.
>>2461447Based take though I find it okay if it's in like 1-2% of all strategy gamesOtherwise you really dont need women for your colonial empire or whatever
>>2461332planning to have plenty children is strategyhaving sex is tactics
>>2461705
Decided to play the LARPwaffen division and I'm having some trouble. I've won the 2ACW as Trump, Biden, and Patriot Front but I know Atomwaffen is supposed to be way harder. I can conquer all of the south really easily but by the time I've gotten to the focus to join the national front Biden has been defeated by Trump, and Trump is too strong for my stupid AI allies to beat. All the debuffs to industry make it hard for me to produce anything but infantry, all my good units come from decisions and focuses but I need faster units for encirclements. Any proven strategies I should be using?
name a better RTS campaign
>>2461034An exaggeration, but still true. Still the Cuotl campaign had enough original missions to be fun, and a cool final quest & end.
>>2459819It isn't. It's a downgrade compared to Brood War and the OG SC. WoL is the only good thing in SC, and even it has bad choices.
>>2456718>name a better RTS campaignDawn of War
>>2456718warcraft is not epic or anything. It's like a series of skirmish maps. Meanwhile a game like Age of Empires 2 you play the Hun campaign for example and you feel like you army is conquering Europe one territory at a time. It amazes me that so many people love this fantasy slop for retards.
>>2456718Age of Mythology or the C&C series.
Xchads edition. Share tips, strategies, and storytimes for this, the first and greatest of all strategy games.>Tip of the Thread: The most forceful move that X’s can make on the first turn is to take a corner.>Thread Question: Has Tic-Tac-Toe gotten stagnant? Do we need a shakeup, or is it as timeless as Chess?
>>2458997NOOOOO YOU CAN’T JUST CLOSE THE STRAIT YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT
>>2459002precisely. enginefags will whine about how its a heckin draw and u can't win without your opponent being retarded but when you put them on the board they can rarely prove it. there's a lot of life to this game outside of the top level. nobody's memorizing the solution to this thing. not even a turboautist can do that.
tic tac toe is too bloated of a strategy game with a bunch of unnecessary mechanics.i prefer rock paper scissors
>>2461285Does that come with Steam Workshop support? I keep hearing about the Lizard-Spock mod but I wouldn't know how to install it otherwise.
>>2458997>strategy only works at low ELOStill good for rank climbing and general disrespect
I made a sandbox RPG about the Hundred Years' War. I'm a solo dev from Japan.I'll be straight with you: the character art is AI. Because drawing 1,015 unique, real historical figures by myself is physically impossible, and I have zero budget.Instead, I dumped literally all my time into the mechanics and historical research.You can join the Dominican Order and legally burn your rivals at the stake for heresy (guaranteed death).You can bribe Cardinals, win the Conclave, and become the Pope.You can take a piss together in the trenches to deepen friendship. Once you bond over a shared leak, these great historical figures will basically do whatever you tell them to. So yeah, go take a piss with legends.If you like Crusader Kings, Mount & Blade, or Kenshi, just play the demo for Steam Next Fest. The mechanics are deep. If you hate AI art, call me names and move on.Demo / Steam Page:https://store.steampowered.com/app/4476270
>>2430168Is sex in the game?
>>2454303>photosYou mean of people dressed up in vaguely medieval clothes. That shit would need to be royalty free. Same for art, and actually, a lot of historical figures don't have any paintings or drawings of them, and if they do it's from centuries later and often are not historically accurate unless artist really tried to do their best on the research.
>>2430168>aislop garbage armorto the trash it goes
>>2430168I actually liked this one
>>2430168Will check it out and report back
>ITT: You are Blizzard, and have to make a new Starcraft RTS gameHow would you do it? What would you add/change gameplay-sense? Any plot ideas?>Hard mode: You are forced to add TWO new races, and no Hybrid shit. Explain how would their gameplay be.
bump
>>2386357not bad. realistically scaled buildings would be such a huge departure I don’t know if it could work though
>>2383574>plot kerrigan is evil now, decides to do more genocides, plot revolves around finding macmuffins to clear her of evil, she kills Artanis, Stukov and Jim in the final mission she turns out to be good all along and passes the mantle to a ethnically diverse plus sized pink dreadlock player character stand in>gameplaymaybe do something more than ramps and plateaus >new factionsGLA from Generals
adding a attack delay for any moving (ranged) unit.veteran compfags will hate it though and convince everyone that its a bad game if they can't micro attack volleys.
leave it deadblizzard is not a real game dev
>picrel>PAIZO! GIVE ME A STRATEGY GAME SET IN GOLARION AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!>(no the crusade mode of wotr does not count)FOR THE THRICE-DAMNED HOUSE OF THRUNE!
>>2446481Gihren’s Greed is kind of like a gsg. /m/ made a translation patch for the psp one a few years back.
>>2445005Which developer would you trust to add enough gay rape scenes to make it accurate?
>>2451427I'd have to see any non-eroge dev adding even straight rape as a mechanic first
blockwar, and or This Quar's war
>>2451427Paradox. They have enough experience raping me and my wallet already.
menace thread, is anyone playing?just picked it up during summer sales, and its scratching an itch that the newest jagged alliance couldnt (i refunded it), so far its doing a lot of stuff right for me, just playing on my first run on normal difficulty and ran into the army dudes which were a nice difficulty spikewhats your (starter) team? for me its>pike>darby>rambonigger (gave him the pirate jump suits, an mg and some close combat weapons and hes a beast, only supression can be an issue)>bigchin pilot (standard mg and the rocket launcher seem to kill anything, if anything spamming vehicles almost seems like an overpowered strategy maybe?)i didnt know about the weary mechanic and was pissed about it at first but after hiring a few more leaders its honestly not that much of a dealfor just being early access im having tons of fun for now
>>2465446>plz be shit postingare you dumb?
That's a big ass gun nigga, and he's accurate with it too.
>>2463820Based.
>>2465713dont need to be very accurate for it to be effective with the amount of suppression it does. its better than the hmg if you are gonna go into stuff like long bomb instead of pointfire + new tricks for accuracy maxing. you kinda want to accuracy max anyways for the nades tho
>>2465713>"game is woke af btw trust">literally has a bonafide action film nigger that LITERALLY goes muuuh dick in some voicelines and he is a fucking amazing SL too
Total war - warhammer is on saleAny of them worth getting?Why do they still have denuvo 20 years after release?
This game is basically turned an RTS, you spend most of the battle your gookclicking your units and don't get the time to enjoy the slog because they collapse so quickly. The battles are too fast.
>>2458258
>>2458258but it is an RTS
it's deader than in Sylvania here
>>2378765How do you fight against Khorne (Valkia) with early dark elves armies? My dreadspears melt against their marauders and warriors and my crossbowmen (both the normal ones and the stealthy ones) get tied down by those hounds.
Got this since it kept popping up in my recommendations in steam as well as since my woman wanted to watch Jurassic series,Playing through campaign right now and it seems too easy, like Anno 1404 one.>you're given way too much territory, usually half of that is enough to 5 star in USA and Asia>Dino's only try to break out when they are uncomfortable>upkeep on things is so low that economy doesn't seem to matter. Even small shop+drink+food seem to cover all expenses>you max out reputation from contracts on second locationsome weird things i noticed>upkeep isn't shown't on buildings that use fuel - it gets filled manually or automatically by maintenance team>no easy way to quickly check if dino's would interact together well or even dino stats, I have to check genome library which is accessible only via hatchery, and for live dinos you have to check multiple tabs for that>have to manually activate/deactivate shelter, and for that you have to listen to voice cue about weather which is easy to missBut other than that, I am having a lot of fun. Dino's are great even if I never was a dinosaur guy
>>2454133>paypig gets spammed with ads>"I CAN ONLY BUY OR PIRATE, I MUST PLAY NOWWW">retard can't fathom simply NOT playing a game>"but i have standards! and this game did not live up to them!"Retard.
>>2454868sour grapes niggercope
>>2450671>The game fundamentally misunderstands the original novel/movie's concept of 'chaos' and just lets you build the perfect parkIsn't that also the case for Operation Genesis, with the only serious 'chaos' being the occasional tornado?>>2450709>i did notice xboxhueg amount of customisation of building so i guess thats the main clientele.Only now they ported that from Planet Zoo, since it's the same devs.
>>2459292The difference is Operation Genesis doesn't have Jeff Goldblum lecture you about chaos every five minutes.
>>2450661>Playing through campaign right now and it seems too easyPlaying JWE 2 atm and it is pretty easy due to the high income you get. That's okay I guess, not every strategy game needs to be violently difficult. It's entertains me really well.
And why is it the MIG fighter from RA3?
This also Siege Tank, Marine, Battlecrusier, Carrier (StarCraft) and Footman (Warcraft 3)
>>2431444Shit game, but I'd bone this thing.
>>2439308That got me hard. Hearing about Dune from games and videos it seemed like the War between the Atreides and Harkonnens plus the Emperor was a big deal but in the books it's just... all over so fast.
>>2461046>first exposure to Dune was Emperor: Battle for Dune>thought the Ordos were pretty cool>they're a literal OC faction made up for the gameWas still pretty cool reading the books later and knowing what an ornithopter was
>>2431444For me it's Drowning Doom Brides from Brutal Legend. Didn't know that a western RTS could have such cuties in it, which is even more impressive considering that they are spooky ghost zombies.
Victoria 2(with mod) vs Victoria 3, what's a better game in the current state now that the new dlc is dropped?
>>2453150Vicky 2 ofc
>>2453150Only in Victoria 2 can I occupied uncivs indefinitely, causing their populations to plummet and thus prevent the demographic boom of the turd world we have now.I force high militancy to get excellent health care and rush medicine to get a booming population in my Aryan superstate,I then annex the turd world shitholes after 50 years and start colonizing them with my higher white population.In one game I managed to turn all of Africa German. Can you do that in Shitoria 3?
vicky 2 with gfmless eurocentric and good flavour experience
>>2453150can you start as the CSA in Victoria 2?
>>2461006yes, the A House Divided DLC gives an 1861 start date
