New X-COM-like game: Terran Shield

[Arhaeus]

Starting today we will stream some live level building and game-play sessions for the fans. We will do maybe also some live 2D character design and 3D modeling & animation, music compose, blueprint and engine programming sessions.

We will be live on our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/terranshield/

And the main stream will be on our Twitch account: https://www.twitch.tv/terran_shield

The schedule of our streams will be posted here in advance: https://community.terran-shield.com/community/topic/level-building-and-game-play-streaming/?part=1#postid-12

Our Terran Shield alpha demo 0.2 version is available for the public: https://drive.google.com/open?id=15BkAd8YTVxMcNjzNexaXc-OgI8WVxGyj
There are still a lot of things to do, but the important thing is that the essential game core mechanics are working. The combat is fast, brutal and unforgiving.
We have already implemented the difficulty levels to develop the game from the beginning at a different intensity and challenge for each of them.
Currently, the AI is simple and direct, without any planning or teamwork, but it will evolve towards a much more complex one, as it should be.
If you want to help you can report bugs and gameplay issues here or at terranshieldalpha@gmail.com.

The next step will be to implement some user-friendly features and to polish a little more this alpha demo for the crowdfunding campaign.
We are still using the 4.192 UE4 version, but after the campaign will jump to 4.22, or 4.23 if it will be available in order to unlock some powerful new feature as Niagara effect system or other experimental and amazing new tools.

I'm aboard the hype train now

Looks like it could be quite cool.  I look forward to seeing how it develops. 

Minor quibble on the website: The title of the webpage seems to be just "home" .. would look a little more professional if someone tweaks that. 

[Arhaeus]

The name of the page "Home" it is commonly used, if you had another title in mind we are open to change the name.


While the material for the campaign is polished, the concept work for the game goes on.

Sorry for being honest, but i think you should work more on your game before trying to kickstarter it.
Currently trailer shows that your game is in very alpha state.

You are aiming for higher goal than Xenonauts 2, which looked much more finished when they made their kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/69341191/xenonauts-2-strategic-planetary-defence-simulator

Also, they had large community from Xenonauts 1.

I really doubt you will manage to reach such high goal.
Also, why so many stretch goals? I counted 7 stretch goals over 780K - which is more than Phoenix Point have got on FIG funding ($765,948).

Sorry, but at this state i doubt you will get more than couple thousands.

Anyway, good luck!
