Thanks for covering our game!!
Sweet game ❤️! One question, though: is the UI final? Because it doesn't feel like those default boxes / arrows live up to the game's art style(s). When games do minimalist UI to balance their gorgeous art like for example Ampliture's "Endless" series, that "minimalist" UI actually is super polished as well. I have to assume Arial in gray boxes is temporary 🤞?
OMG I sound like one of those self-entitled gamers that think developer owe them something...
Sorry!!! 😱
@@PhilipBlyth Haha no worries - I think it all comes from a place of care and interest in the game!
@@PhilipBlyth I think we want to do something that's a _bit_ more flavorful than the current UI, but don't expect a ton of skemorphic stuff or things like Starcraft of Warcraft. Especially as the game has a huge modding component, I want mods of lots of different types and themes to feel sort of "at home" inside the game. So we'll see what we come up with!
@@afterschoolvg Oh, I 100% agree that the minimal gray non-skeuomorphic UI is the way to go, especially since it makes the game's art "pop" so nicely!
I think it's a matter of finding a more polished / unique font, and tying the icons more together with it? The rounded icons seem like a 3rd style, rather than belonging to the UI style or the game style. Little things like paying closer attention to consistent inner padding and margins between things, and reducing the variety of sizes, etc...
But this game is already an insta-buy for me, so 🤷♂️.
Thank you YT random recomendation AI for suggesting this channel. You dig up some really interesting games that I would miss otherwise, instant subscribe!
Splatty does a great job keeping the variety high, which has had quite a deleterious effect on my wallet 😆 Welcome to the team!
He has a discord and streams on twitch most days too. Hell even I've managed to get a lobby or 2 with the guy in some co op games. He's awesome man welcome.
2 years subscribed and splatty never disappoints.
It's a great channel. You learn all about all the games coming out. Plus he has some really fun series. He's amazing at the Long Dark for instance so that's really fun to watch. And he has I think Twitch too :)
i like that you can change your units names. i don’t know why that just makes me happy.
Agree 100% about these quick "fests" that pass too fast for People to even have a chance to check them out. For some reason this makes me think of Jodorowsky's dune, a combination of the art and story.
I remember another game with such Shared AP recently. A Civ Style 4x, playing in the Greeko/Roman times. "Old World" was the name, IIRC.
I love this art so much! Absolutely stunning!
Oh man when you brought up Moebius I was so excited, I absolutely love his style and I can see why it evokes it for you, and I agree. The gameplay is engaging, I like how the mobile tower have a real impact on turn economy, if the rest of the game holds other good ideas and mechanics it sure is going to be a lot of fun.
I wish the UI was as inspired as the character's art style. Really found of it ! But the game, overall, lacks something imo.
I immediately went and download the demo after watching this for 5 minutes. Keep on showing interesting games Splat :D
Some heavy Dune vibes!
This is one helluva art style.
THIS ART STYLE IS AWESOME! I just love i! :)
Honestly was expecting more, based on the demo.
The art is so pretty!
Love the art!
The art and color reminds me VERY much if Leader Games' OATH. Very different gameplay but the art in this game looks like a future version of OATH's more fantasy centric elements.
the art style is super rad
The character art reminds me of the Oath boardgame. I'm a big Moebius fan too and this game has a very nice style, except for the UI. The gameplay seemed like a chore though. But I'm not much into tactics games anyway.
What a gorgeous game!
looks great!
Cool looking game, looking forward to it's release.
I was just thinking about trying it, I guess I should today!
I could see myself playing this on my Surface Pro when I'm chilling outside.
looks cool and need more
This looks like my kinda game, hopefully has enough content, or maybe an endless type mode. Looks like a lot of fun!
Modding is a huge component of the game so we're hoping to get longevity out of that. We'll also very likely ship a more freeform skirmish mode that lets you play longer missions that aren't part of the story. I do want to do some sort of large Civ style map generation mode thing, but we're a small team so we're primarily focused just getting the story right first.
This is a VERY interesting game. Haven't seen this spin on action economy before. And the art style seems very Indian to me.
The game's demo is on Steam btw
Every time you say Mobius I just think of the the DLC from fallout New Vegas
With the scientist I forget the name of the DLC but
Dr Mobius He's like mad mad scientist guy who's partly forgotten some things that was immediately what my brain went to when you started saying that
lol I wonder if Splat realizes today is the 29th and Gamescom ended 2 days ago.
I see some mobeus influences in the art
we need rts classic games with turn based mechanic
The stylized avatar, the eccentric dialogs, Disco Elysium vibe anyone?
Usually not a fan of watching intros, but damn that pompous leader was kick butt awesome. Great writing.
I tried the demo now via steam and... it's awful, sadly. It takes a hundred turns to cross the large maps even when you restrict yourself to very few units (take only the long range snipers once you can!). I finished the demo/first mission and it was an insanely tedious affair. I wish I could give them constructive feedback, but I really don't know what could salvage this mechanic. Maybe being able to construct portals on currently visible parts of the map, to teleport newly constructed units over there? Or maybe being able to build endless relay stations in a turn, so it doesn't take so long to set up?
Also, all your units can get swiftly wiped out by the later enemies, except for the aforementioned sniper, which can simply stay out of detection range and not even get attacked by units it shot at the previous turn... the other option is probably to spam the normal soldiers, as you can summon those whereever you have your army. Until upgraded, they don't move fast (and they might not last that long against later enemies), whereas your snipers' actions barely increase in AP cost as they get exhausted, so they can effectively move rather fast (or shoot a lot).
Dang. I was really hoping this would be good. It's just so pretty! What a shame. Maybe they can save it somehow
Awful even though there's only one issue?
Did he notice the fatigue mechanics? I feel like he didn’t. Units gain fatigue every time they do something and using them again costs more, and it doesn’t go down all at once
He talks about it at 6 mins
Since facing is so important, to the point of being the difference between dealing 3 or 1 damage, it would be nice to make a bigger emphasis on character facing or allowing you to rotate them without having to move them.
I loved this video but Splattercat did get this wrong - facing doesn't matter. He just happened to use a unit that had gained +damage level perks on an enemy that was faced a different direction so it seemed like it mattered. We did actually have directions in the game at one point but it made the game feel WAY too fiddly.
FALLEN FRONTIER pleeeease! Sry for caps but it looks awesome and complex. Looks awesome and feels complex!)
I tried this demo and just found the interface waaaaaay to fiddly... simply to load and unload your troops could have been streamlined considerably and a lot of the game feels like its going to be like this. Looks good though.
Yeah, really needs a "load all surrounding" button or something at least. :/ The way the game plays it really feels like each tower should be more of a "squad" and the units are attached to it or something so you can have more group level tactical controls.
Totally hear that - the UX for storage being too fiddly was probably the top takeaway from the demo period. We'll definitely make it better in the final release so you can save way more clicks.
@@afterschoolvg Good luck with the game, looks fresh in both looks and mechanics, that's always a plus and a challenge.
If Dawn of War 3 was like this i wouldnt have given up on it (not the textile movement and combat but the base building part
seems a lot of clicking for un-loading troops, needs an autoload and tempalte for onloading
otherwise looks good
🖤
Kinda reminds me of C&Q 4 and why it died
Feels like it would have worked better as an rts, though the art style is definitely good.
Why does that opening art of that w/e it is look like Gaston from Beauty and the beast fused with Harley quin?
😎👌
oh god its eve's pi system lol
You say so many Warhammer terms, "space marines" and "overwatch" lmao
First time I eve heard something as lame as a "rickshaw" be called badass.

Can we play as other factions(like the machines) in this game? It would be awesome to see other strategies.
Yes! The main game is broken into 9 maps/chapters, with 3 chapters dedicated to each faction. You'll play as all three factions in the game across the course of the whole campaign, and play as each CO as well through that. Each faction uses the same core systems, but interprets them differently, so playing with them should feel pretty unique!
@@afterschoolvg #Subscribed!
How about explaining things as you do them and not explaining and then doing them?
420 likes c'mon
The game's fantastic honestly. But it's definitely a slog fest, especially in the late game. The Devs just need to find a way to increase the AP pool. That's really the only issue. As your army grows it gets slower and slower to move your army forward with the limited AP pool. Hope they tweak that before release.
Love the pixel art, writing and gameplay, but that character art reminds me of cheap high school books to me.
I think you're the bad guys in this game. The arrogant guy in charge makes me think that.
The game have shared movement points to prioritise transports so I will send group of infantry separately to transport that totally could get closer to the group.
Basically Warframe. But you're playing as the Corpus.
Small gripe: explain, then example. Set the terms first, then give an example to reinforce the explanation, eg: "every time you move with the same unit, so for example...." could easily be: every time you move with the same unit, the cost of movement goes up, so for example...
Review VR games. Please. Please. Pleeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeee
I dont see any game play elements that make this game standout.
First!
I really hope there is autopickup in this game, or it's dead to me.
Feels like this game will make me pay my mouse bill twice.
that intro story is so uninteresting my yawn has yawned...
The art style is cool but wow, the game is dull as dishwater
this game looks too slow, even for a turn based game. Lots of clicking
