The Air Force living quarters for now, next the Aqua Force living quarters where the aquanauts will sleep and relax.

We are excited to share with you the first concept of the Etta-Um alien, with a short description and a scaled representation of his dimensions.

Spoiler Alert!

If you want to discover the aliens only during the game, you may skip the chart below in order to avoid spoilers.

I don't think it is such a mental breakdown the Tertis inventory minigame. There are much tougher problems to solve in a TBS like managing the limited resources, trying to outthink the AI, etc...
Anyway, the irregular shape items will be in beta and it is up to the testers if they will made it in the final game.

We have a gameplay walkthrough on superhuman with live commentary, explanations and subtitles here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRW2anFwquo

I've tried a loss free playthrough, but I failed to do it live (even if I new the way the AI handles the battle, it was enough to overexpose the right flank to lose a soldier).

If anyone succeeds a clear playthrough and post it on youtube, we may think of an reward.

The boxes follow the shapes of the objects, so they are in complex shapes. A good thing if you want so squeeze some items in the inventory in the available places.

Here is the playthrough of our alpha demo on Superhuman difficulty level, with live commentary and explanations. We wanted it to be a loss-free mission, but this time the aliens got Melnikoff with their terrific sonic gun.

The Poseidon Cave bas-relief is a fictional representation made to fit the game’s background and lore, but the images which inspired it are very real and ancient. They make us wonder if we really know our true past, history, origin...

Our backers wanted us to take a stand on the exclusivity distribution matter, so we did:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/terranshield/terran-shield-edge-of-the-abyss-0/faqs

"Q: Will Terran Shield be available exclusively on Epic Store?

A: We will not make an exclusivity distribution contract with any third party (be it Epic Store, Steam, GOG etc.) in the future. Our game will be always available for sale on our site and we believe that people should be free to choose where they want to buy their games from."

Almost all aliens are much bigger than humans, not only from a lore perspective, but because in 3D the things in the far distance are very small and the player would have difficulties distinguishing and targeting them.

Before we provide an update on the aliens, we thought we'd reveal something more about the Jellyfish Sentry.

The sounds don't sound great on the trailer and in other videos, but when you play the demo they are doing their job well. In fact, if you take the sounds from X-Com 1,2,3 they wouldn't be so great on trailers too. Of course, the sounds and music will be improved in the final game.
