Another one?

It does look interesting, we'll see how it turns out when it's released.

Xenonauts Dev Diary: Exclusive first ground combat screens and walkthrough:

https://www.pcgamer.com/2011/05/10/xenonauts-dev-diary-exclusive-first-ground-combat-screens-and-walkthrough/

Contains screenshots from combat !!

Seeing those screenshots i have a feeling that it will be first indie / commercial x-com clone, which is most close to original.

Daiky, great preview

[kkmic]

Daiky, great preview

I second that. And I'm waiting for part #2 

[Daiky]

Hi I've (quickly) done a part 2 https://www.daiky.be/2011/09/xenonauts-preview-part-2.html
I do probably one more when it is closer to release.

they stole my idea , civilians defending them selves    If the aliens start taking over unarmed civilians and making them pick up alien weapons to attack the Human forces i know there been reading this site

[Daiky]

hehe luk83, it's not 100% like that, they are more like friendly AI soldiers.

Daiky, but after for example 30% civilians killed by xcom, those who left should turn their arms against xcom. At least locally (for particular battle). Anyways, they aren't infenitely loyal to xcom.
For those countries which have low xcom rating, civilians are most intolerant, and can start shooting xcom even after first casualty.

[Daiky]

I don't know if it are civilians, it could be another xcom unit, or an independent army (not belonging to any country or continent) that has the same purpose as you, defeating alien threath, but is controlled by AI.
Because they say the purpose of this is: "there should be less of a sense that the rest of the world has given up the fight against the extraterrestrials."


BTW, this is a great preview video:
