MARS 2000 3 Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Hello! We want to thank Plokite_Wolf for approving and all of you for reading this thread MARS 2000 - oldschool RTS game inspired by C&C series! MARS 2000 is a realtime strategy inspired by Command and Conquer series. For now it is in active development by Space Crab Development.What it is all about This game offers you a brutal and balanced gameplay in a dieselpunk setting. Deceptively recognizable mechanics, that will show you lots of new tasty things, when you try them. Single Player Our single player campaingn tells the player about confrontation of 3 forces - 1 Industrial Cohort, Earth Liberating Force and mysterious 3 side known only as "Those Robots" with a pretty good lore on each side. As our tribute to the C&C series we offer you a delightful thing: pretty cinematics with live actors and a storyline which blow your mind!Multiplayer As it was said it is easy to start (yeah friends, we know that there are lot of C&C fans here) and hard to master. We have done a big work to balance our rosters and give you opportunity to set up your own. There are a lot of combinations you can make using special theme packs - build your own deadly force. Also we have done a big work, developing our net code. Yes we know how annoying all that nasty multiplayer things and bugs are. Space Crab Development - who are that folks? We are a little group of oldschool RTS fans. During giant period of time (over 6 years) we were practising in making game modes and total conversions so we reach some kind of perfection for each one of us in our directions of work. We are trying to make ideal strategy game for us and other people, who share our vision and we are working really hard on it. Our development is not sponsored, so we are doing all the things by ourselves - there is only 5 of us in our team. (programmer, 3d artist/backgrounds artist, gamedesigner/video artist, sketch artist and a level designer) we are trying to use modern technologies and we are working the best to our abilities, because we love our project. Afterword We hope, that there are a lot of people who miss golden age of RTS genre. But it is all in our hands, so let's do it our brothers and sisters in arms We will be glad for your comments and questions here and in our social network groups: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mars2000game/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mars_2000/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYgf1LMvLdwLbCFxMznMwAQ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mars2000game/ Edited December 14, 2017 by MARS 2000 1 2 Share this post Link to post
PurpleGaga27 37 Posted December 15, 2017 I like it, but it looks more like an alternative version to Dune RTS with C&C style of gameplay. Two questions: 1) What game engine is this RTS using? 2) Is there an IndieDB page for this? 2 Share this post Link to post
Ivan Sokolov 1 Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Hi, PurpleGaga27! Yes, you are right - when we were creating Mars 2000 setting, we were inspired by a Dune RTS game, but that's all that connects us with Dune universe. And here is the answers: 1) We are using Unity 3d engine 2) We have made it: http://www.indiedb.com/games/mars-2000 Thanks for your attention to our project.

comander starlin 6 Posted January 10, 2018 If and when this game goes life is there a plan to Port to the Nintendo Switch as you are already developing in Unity it should make it easier as they prefer Unity Engine for their games. But this is looking Cool so i am down for it. 1 Share this post Link to post
MARS 2000 3 Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Thank you! First of all we make the game for Windows PC and we don't think much about console platforms So, we need to release MARS 2000 on PC, then time will tell, if it will make sense, why not to release MARS 2000 on the Nintendo Switch?
