    Planetary Annihilation

    Spotted this on RPS today and was blown away

    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012...-with-planets/

    Its basically a procedurally generated supcom / TA extended into space with the ability to colonize moons and asteroids and use them to smash into planets and stuff

    Watch the trailer here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhEYvOYceNs

    If the finished game is even a fraction of the win of this trailer it will likely be one of the best RTS ever made.

    But lolkickstarter, we shall see.


    Edit: kickstarter page is here http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...generation-rts

    Edit 2 : Update trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1v0q...layer_embedded

    It's fappable enough for a new thread tbh. Kickstarter thread is to announce everything even mildly interesting. Real winners get topics.

    Alrighty then. HOLY SHIT. This is going to be amazing. As I said in the Kickstarter thread, the dev team has some proper gems of people in. Jon Mavor was the guy who was responsible for pretty much everything that made supcom good. Same for TA probably.

    Having listened to a long interview from Chris Taylor concerning the release of FAF I'm pretty sure Chris Taylor had nothing to do with how good supcom was while Jon Mavor and John Comes (the guy the Scathis was named after) were what made FA so great.

    AHMAHGAD Take my money!

    Holy shit, these guys are local. I'm tempted to head down to their HQ with a case of good beer and my resume.

    I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those Thukkers, that way I wouldn't have to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody.

    I wasn't all jazzed up about it, would have preferred it more like SC(1) instead of solar system wide battles.
    The TA/SC infinite resource setup is so epic, beats that micromanaging bean-counter crap blizzard spits out.

    Was the Mavor Experimental Artillery named after Jon by any chance?

    Game looks great btw, but I hope it stays with the idea of massive numbers of units. The trailer didn't really make it look very "large scale".

    Yeah I HATED supcom 2. I would honestly rather they just actually fixed and improved forged alliance.

    PA is definitely a successor to FA and TA instead of supcom 2. though and I have high hopes for it

    Kickstarting this when i get paid next week.

    Supcom2 was what made me lose hope in humanity, this looks like a step back towards the light

    Will admit, i am kind of moist at the prospect

    This might be one of the only kickstarters I invest in. Because I lost my RTS virginity to TA.

    e: Can we push Entrox into setting up a TA server? :P

    http://www.tauniverse.com/play-ta/

    Still looks like quite an active community, mods and units still coming out etc

    Yes, it was named after him. Dude likes the giant artillery.

    Up to 320,000/900,000 on day 3, pretty good. Evidently stretch goals include a campaign mode.

    FUCK YES. Supcom 1 is the best rts game ever made. Supcom 2 was a fucking crime against humanity. Will be throwing money at them after the weekend and cant wait for this game to come out.

    Edit: Apparently kickstarter only takes creditcards... Did we timewarp back to 2001?

    So none of these guys worked on supcom2 right?

    It looks very promising, would like bigger planets though and a more realistic art style. Besides that I'm sold!
