Will D.O.R.F. (a C&C-like Indie RTS) Succeed?

It'd be really cool if you helped Balint/NakamuraRTS and myself by rating our podcast. Maybe listen to an episode or 2 as well? :D

My friend Nakamura RTS and I have a podcast called the RTS Masterminds. Here's our latest episode, about upcoming indie RTS DORF (that just finished its kickstarter campaign) - we're also on Spotify. I'll link that below.

Quite proud of this project.

Gaming isn’t just a hobby for some people.

It’s an escape when life is difficult.
A temporary distraction.
A way to connect with friends across the world.

Video games help more than some people think.

Wish more people could see that.

So, a reminder: If you like a game on Steam, please leave a user review, because it remains half-buried (intentionally so) until it breaks that 50 review threshold.

And it requires 500 reviews to be eligible for the Overwhelmingly Positive rating, as well as other algorithm-stacking perks.

I don't think I would be excited for a Backrooms movie if it had literally any other director, but I trust Kane Parsons with my life. You should watch People Still Live Here it's really good.

When I was let go from a job I had for many years after massive firings, the people I spoke with daily all but disappeared. One random guy in the graphics team, who I hardly ever even spoke with, reached out to me on Facebook wishing me well, and honestly it meant the world to me at the time.

This comment section is why indies are dying. We tell the consumer our budgets are too low. we can’t “save the industry.” They ignore the expert and continue insist that we can with “innovation“ barking inaccurate YouTuber opinions and fallacies.

How sad the next 3-5 years of games will be.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

I never felt like the conversation around hard counters was handled quite right, so I wrote this. Article from 2021, probably my most-read article to date: waywardstrategy.com/2021/07/27/h...

just this week:

-- OpenAI killed Sora
-- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI
-- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content

...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

What do you think about "design your own units" systems in RTS games?

Personally, I can't help but prefer both either a well designed faction with deep systems, or a "loadout" system where you can pick from a selection of pre-defined units.

That being said, I DO love Earth 2150.
