I have variable height terrain! 🏔️ Sure, doesn't look ground-breaking (pun intended) ATM, but this is just a quick demo and I cant wait design more interesting maps around this. A couple of post processing shaders should also work some wonders!

Meet the kiddos! 👶👶

I will probably be having some more of own soon and adopting a couple of other as well. Hopefully they turn out equally as handsome!

What do you guys think about the player/team color options?

Also note this gorgeous little APC that @SyphoticART crafted!

New scout vehicle! Incredibly happy with how this little guy turned out. Thanks @SyphoticART for the awesome model!

It's the little things! 🤏

I added a wee little recoil effect when the tank fires. Subtle, but these are the kind of things that I personally appreciate when I play other RTS games.

I'm honestly very happy with this simple tank design, although I'm still flushing out details and player accent colors.

What are your thoughts on it? Any recommendations?

Spent the weekend shouting into my mic, and my neighbors officially think I'm crazy now.

What do you guys think of my voice lines? Some need some work 😅

It's a feature, not a bug??

What do you guys think of my new (and first) infantry unit?

Still needs a teeny bit of polish

What kind of cool weather/environmental details could I add that would really make it stand out?

Not just a tank, but a B - F - T

I turned up the fire rate.... iiiii like it!

This post limits the video to 30 FPS. It looks much, much better running at 60+ FPS.
