Planetary Annihilation - A Next Generation RTS

Archive: 4 posts


Just found out about a new game being made by Uber, Planetary Annihilation, which although is a fairly basic and relatable concept looks neat. It's supposedly a sequel to Total Annihilation. There is only a concept video which was made for Kickstarter, and so far the concept looks pretty darn awesome from me. It is just a visualisation video and right now they're only they've only completed the primary goal (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts), but for now I'm bought on it.

Planting boosters onto asteroids and creating artificial meteors, no? Crashing planets into one another, no? Over 20 players together in a battle against one another, no? Oh pleez.

OOoohOHOHoooOH, OMAHGWAD. I played the original forever. Wasn't as impressed with Supreme Commander. I must spread this EVERYWHERE!

Sorry, I'm just so excited to see this. Looks a bit like the Spring Project went on a tangent and made something amazing.

oh my gawd. I feel like giving them $10k (if I had it)

They weren't kidding when they claimed this would be the new era of RTS.

EDIT: Mind if I borrow your sig? I'm going to assume you don't mind. EVERYONE MUST KNOW!

PA has grabbed the attention of a hyperactive Nerd? and recently Totalbiscuit, who interviewed the Uber Ent. devs:

Interview is 40 minutes.... of AWESOME!

Check out the Uber forums for Planetary Annihilation here (http://forums.uberent.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=61).

Another relevant site is the Kicktraq for PA here (http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts), shows a detailed breakdown of pledges, and provides a prediction of what the end result will be.

They're at 850k / 900k. This is going to happen very soon.

Looking forward to seeing the stretch goals reached as well. 1.1m for more work on navies and aquatic planets. 1.3m for more work on gas giants and orbital/interplanetary units.
