That's what happens when you don't share your secrets.

Take programming.. Most programms will tell you something is wrong but not what is wrong or how to even fix it.

So, To advance in programming you need to be a master of programming to tell yourself what is wrong in the first place.

GENIUS!

Alot of other parts of the game industry are like that as well, Game design isn't but people don't believe they require them anymore.

Half brick is a studio that recently decided to go half wit.

You're all fucking idiots.

The original fucking Homeworld devs made this, it was originally called Shipwreckers and was meant to be an MMORTS.

They failed miserably, have subsequently butchered the game and struck up a publishing deal with Gearbox.

Gearbox., before Borderlands, was known as the most mediocre developement company in existence. They did mostly expansions, ports or small time FPS. Only rivalled by Raven.
>>
That is why RTSs are never going to be back, everything is already labeled shit before people even played it, just because is not "muh x game from a century ago".

RTS games are flawed and is only loved by nostalgia fags that refuse to give a chance to anything new.

The game is 33 days away from a full launch. None of these will be fixed. The genre deserves better than this.

I'll buy it if it's good or mediocre, but I'll not make the mistake to buy it full price at launch again.
>>
As happy as I am that there's a new Homeworld game being released, and by many of the original devs too

Keep feeling that the original concept of "corporations competing for ancient salvage wrecks left by forces unknown on a nowhere desert planet" spoke to me more than being a prequel campaign to Homeworld 1 that retcons a bunch of stuff to make itself happen

Planning ahead and using familiarized templates and structures is very fundamental, yeah anon
but what the fuck are you talking about? Running through error messages and solving them is the main portion of what you do as a "pro" programmer aka the computer telling you what you should do

It's $50 though.

>>320490246
It's really cheap so a lot of indie devs are using it. And most of indie games are shit, therefore by retarded shitposter's logic Unity is shit.

You get a discount if you own Homeworld Remastered.

It's a mobile engine, which means that it doesn't matter what GPU you have, the engine will basically ignore it. They fixed it with Unity 5 though.

Well my only experience with Unity 5 is Wasteland 2, which, despite its improved graphics, actually manages to hold 60fps and use my GPU.
In the original W2 I'd get frequent drops and my GPU would just fucking stay idle.

No you just have to realize that seamless air/space to ground combat in a grand scale is the next evolution of RTS games. Planetary Anihilation just did it first.

I tried getting into homeworld remastered, but fuck me its combat is so bland it feels like a chore going through the campaign, up to mission 10 in HW1 remastered. The only good part is the bits and pieces of lore, and messing around looking at ships up close. Everything feels like a clusterfuck, not very intuitive. Might as well just watch the damned cutscenes on youtube.

Playing it just makes me itch for a 4X with RTS elements, I've enjoyed the ever loving fuck out of sword of the stars 1 and 2. The combat mechanics are so much easier to comprehend and grasp, combat is miles more entertaining especially when you can customize your ships with whatever funky modules and weapons you want.

I have sins of a solar empire picking up dust as well, might give it another shot, I haven't particularly enjoyed it either but It seems more entertaining than homeworld to me at least.

We'll see how this goes, I'm not preordering it, need to see some proper gameplay footage. I have my eyes on ashes of the singularity as well but that doesn't seem particularly great either compared to supcom.

Was always a Homeworld game.
It's set in the universe of Homeworld, on a world where everyone on it has sort of lost the ability to get off of the planet, and the gameplay and story revolves around you trying to gain control of resources and ships and parts so you can become space again

I'm looking forward to it
