the devs made their own game studio and moved on to other projects, nothing about this game is publicized in their discord or on their website so it's safe to assume it's abandonware
I've asked for opensource in discord and no response(probably they will not open it just because there a lot of work done and maybe they will return to it in future).
I've modified a bit Alfa 0.9 version(more enemy for each wave (x2, x3, x4), more time between waves to build more defense and economy, possibly will add some more features like longer storms, more or even endless waves ), I did it just because wanna play more in this game) So if someone wanna - I can share it.
This game is not good, this game is perfect, only 1 problem, it was abandoned or discontinued, the last update was almost 2 years ago, okay maybe the current pandemic slow it down.
APPARENTLY, FROM WHAT I HEARD, robbie stopped working on the game because it was too complicated, not enough time. But I would like an answer from the creator himself
Just found out about this game yesterday and it's great! No bugs found so far, level 4 here. Amazing job. Looks like They Are Billions but with many differences and atmosphere
So far I really like the game at its current status and look forward to more development. I'm only about 10 minutes or so into the current build but I would already ask the following:
* please do not take camera control away from the player even when a tip pops up
* also would like to have it not tell me where to build a building during the tutorial, but would rather have a suggested area. I've restarted the game a couple of times because I would place a building where it suggested I place it, but then it would act like I didn't place a building somewhere. though this seems to happen mostly when I rearrange the roads so that the traffic flow is more to my liking. I have taken a screenshot if you'd like to see what I mean
* also please add windmills for power generation, the windmills would be able to generate power when the sandstorms come
* I just wanted to add the UI is top notch. clean and straight forward
There seems like a bug where I created my mining station and when I resumed the game the mining station was not producing any ore despite of have electricity , road connection and manpower.
Can you guys please make an update that adds only an endless mode if nothing else? Give the game some longetivity and some soft marketing from people on youtube getting absurd wave counts
This is seriously Alpha version? This really seems like a full game already! And it seems very cool! Although I gotta say, didn't you get an inspiration with They are billions? It seems, in a way, little bit similiar
Love this game! It gave me nostalgia of the days when I played starcraft I and II. Defending and building, keeping everything balanced, it all feels great! The way new towers, buildings and options are unlocked by playing really feels rewarding too. The only thing I'd say is a shame is the difficulty curve; maybe I need to get gud :P but around the levels when you unlock the missile launcher and the fertilizer I was just stuck.
Maybe adding different difficulty options?
All in all, phenomenal job! Thanks for the nostalgia :)
this game is absolutely fucking terrible, the second mission glitched and it wouldnt let me get past the "connect 3" part. after that i paused it and tabbed out to find a fix but it froze on me, i tried to close it with the task manager but it blue-screened my computer. DO NOT INSTALL!
bsod is very unlikely to be caused by the game. bsod is more often than not caused by defective hardware or driver bugs. Never applications. Come to think of it, an application can only cause bsod, if it hits a bug in the windows kernel.
Well, it could be a nice game....but i would prefer it if i could build and perfect the base WITHOUT time pressure or random bugs .... just let me build my base and defence WITH NO PRESSURE....if it stays like this, it quiet honestly sucks
The tutorial is horrible... however once the game stops ordering you around and forcing you to build where it tells you, its quite good.
If the game gets another update, please stop taking camera control away from the player, and rather than, "Build here." just have a "Does the player have X many of Y buildings. It is really obnoxious to have to build where your told when the game is about efficiency.
Oh and again I can not stress enough, the game is really good once you get past the tutorial stuff.

Hallo
can I have a link to the alpha 0.8?
Unfortunately, I have overwritten my version during the update, and now I have a quiet other game.
I'm not sure which version I was playing, but in mine there was no video included.
is this game still in dev ?
Nope. The developers gave up on it without any notice. Maybe they died? It happens.

Man that sucks. they make good games too in my opinion, this one woulda been cool.
they have a discord, maybe if asked nicely the devs would open source it

Hope you guys are able to publish on steam! Yall deserve it.
so, what's been happening with this recently?
game's too big, on hold.
A starship troopers referance? in the description of the game?!? This looks like its right up my ally!
If work, please do it to finish.
Do you can release the map editor and players will complete it ?

My other considerations:
-There should be more waves per level, that way the game become "longer", more fun and gives space to create a larger base.
-Time between waves should be longer, currently there is little time to manage and gather resources.
-I've found difficulty to increase at very high steps in the last levels.
My considerations: Add map editor, add endless mode, upgrade units (each map make points and have a upgrade tree)

rip this game lol
I dont see the Robbie Fraser answer the comments from the Covid 19 infected on the US.
Plse talk something for we know you healthy.
A very good game with a mixed of RTS and tower defense, with some ingenuity defensive concept. Found some bugs, how do I report them?
Is this dead? There has been nothing for over a year now.
yeah, sadly, checked the discord. The team moved on to other projects like Terra Nil, really hyped for it too!
Well, it could be a nice game....but i would prefer it if i could build and perfect the base WITHOUT time pressure or random bugs .... just let me build my base and defence WITH NO PRESSURE....if it stays like this, it quiet honestly sucks
Bro, the games a tower defence, the point is to build your base with the bugs! Not without them!
Use your brain. And if you don't like it, find another game.
The tutorial is horrible... however once the game stops ordering you around and forcing you to build where it tells you, its quite good.
If the game gets another update, please stop taking camera control away from the player, and rather than, "Build here." just have a "Does the player have X many of Y buildings. It is really obnoxious to have to build where your told when the game is about efficiency.
