Dat style. We better be able to stomp through/roll over and burn forests like in TA.

You don't really feel a sense of scale when all your units are massive and the trees are tiny in comparison, it just didn't work in SupCom (you felt the scale difference between units, but not versus the environment).

Because of that stream about the pathfinding tech, I'm now reading tons of stuff about flow fields.. It's really interesting reading :D Before that video I had wondered how they got so many people on the screen in the Assassin's Creed series. I'd love to be able to implement it in a game of my own, but damn, it's really complex and I only understand half of it. Hopefully I'll understand it better once I get my hands on this: [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-AI-Pro-Collected-Professionals/dp/1466565969/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt[/url] It's too far out it the future though, I WANT TO READ IT NOW, DAMN YOU!

Also, I can imagine Helicopters appearing as cheap air units considering propeller power for air units is the cheapest avaible.

[I]ohmygod we're even closer to alpha[/I]

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;40192202][I]ohmygod we're even closer to alpha[/I][/QUOTE] I am now no longer doubting my £40 purchase of the edition that grants alpha access.

When is alpha released? I've barely been following this but I donated like $130 in the kickstarter

I want to play this SO GOD DAMN [B]BAD[/B]

God damnit I wish I had contributed to the kickstarter at the time. I want alpha access :(

Wish I had 15$ when the Kickstarter started :C

Just some self-promotion: there's an irc, #planetaryannihilation at irc.esper.net A Uber dev called Justice hangs out here too :D

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;40200417]God damnit I wish I had contributed to the kickstarter at the time. I want alpha access :([/QUOTE] If you have £40 you can still get it.

I thought £40 was just beta?

[QUOTE=Eltro102;40244040]I thought £40 was just beta?[/QUOTE] $60 dollars gets you the game and the beta, along with the normal preorder things.

[QUOTE=aliendrone123;39828134]Supreme commander should be in that picture.[/QUOTE] Supreme commander = total annihilation.

So the cosmic edition is available until the end of this month, maybe that's when the alpha will come out? It's most likely a case of "ready when it's ready" and wishful thinking on my part, but dammit I want to sucker punch planets with their own moons!

INSERT RELEASE DATE HERE:

so when do i get to hurl galaxies at my enemies.

Live stream today of the actual game in-engine! Dunno if it's in a playable state but it won't be of test apps like it has been up to this point. 13:00 PDT 20:00 UTC Will be on here live: [URL="http://twitch.tv/uberchannel"]http://twitch.tv/uberchannel[/URL]

Stream is starting folks.

So glad I upgraded my Package to get me the Alpha when it's out, these guys fucking deserve it, if I had more money I'd be getting the top Package.

They're aiming for the alpha to be released by the end of may.

I was really hoping to see some explosions in the stream though.

[QUOTE=acds;40354014]I was really hoping to see some explosions in the stream though.[/QUOTE] Better than nothing at all. I actualy didn't expect them to release any Alpha gameplay.

Completely excited for the Alpha.

So judging from that video, does that mean I might get alpha access (albeit later on) if I preorder?

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;40364384]So judging from that video, does that mean I might get alpha access (albeit later on) if I preorder?[/QUOTE] You get the alpha if you pre-order the 90$ "Galactic Edition". For 60$ you get the beta, and for 40$ you just get the final game.
