https://www.soil-rts.com This is my hobby project space based real-time strategy PC game. You build spaceships and send them to their deaths. As a hobby project this is moving at a glacial pace, as I work on this alone so far (except for one guy that made a bit of music, one voice actor and one guy that drew few ship designs, which I modeled to the best of my abilities so they look like poo poo, lol). In my infinite wisdom, I decided to do this without a game engine, so it takes a lot longer than it should. As a unfinished hobby project this is naturally a freeware at the moment, and most likely will remain like that. How much of it is done? There are few campaign missions, 2 ancient missions that I made years ago it feels like and multiplayer, which tends to desync on specific computers (no idea what's going on so far). There are some lovely 3d models made by me, some reasonably good looking asteroids which I downloaded, and above mentioned music and one voice for units. Most of sounds is missing, so playing this without sound isn't much of a loss. ---- I appreciate all feedback, if you try it and think it sucks all the better if you tell me why that is Here is a miminum  video I could do. Putting less effort into it would mean I wouldn't make it at all.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROAQDWWxDAU commando in tophat fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Dec 22, 2020 |

~Yoo-hoo. I'll check this out sometime when I'm home. Got any screenshots or videos though? Googling for Soil RTS brings up zilch. Mordja fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Dec 6, 2019 |

the background hurts my eyes, if it was just black plus the nebula stuff i think it would be much clearer, the white ships on the white starfield makes it hard to focus on them

Maybe I just got used to it (or maybe it helps I have monitor on lowest brightness most of the time). I'll try fiddling around with the starfield to make it dimmer and/or blurrier

Does this game have sexy alien babes, OP? If not I think that would be a great way to drum up some interest.

Hey, I published updated version of this crap a very productive year this was . If somebody is bored to death during holidays, I would love to hear some thoughts on it. I also edited in a link to real low video. I have no idea how to make something trailery-looking for slower paced RTS, and it would probably just be wasted time at current state of the game
