RTS Unit: Spartan Tank Modeled by @syphotic.bsky.social #RTS #IndieGame #IndieDev #Godot

Perspective VS Isometric RTS 🎥 Isometric has a distinct charm to it, but also makes me feel disoriented, while perspective makes me feel like I have more control. Both look great IMO #RTS #IndieGame #IndieDev #Godot

What do you guys think about the isometric view? #IndieGame #RTS #IndieDev

Feels like we are doing something right #IndieGame #RTS #SteelCommand

50 seconds of raw combat from my indie game. It's not perfect, but neither am I #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #RTS

How many factions should an indie RTS have? Let me know in the comments ⬇️ #IndieGame #RTS #IndieDev

RTS Soundtrack 🎶 The artist for STEEL COMMAND has been straight COOKIN. Here is a snippet of one of the 'explore' 'tracks. This is probably my favorite piece by him so far. #RTS #IndieGame #SteelCommand

Indie Dev Origin Story I'm trying to open myself up to the community a bit more and allow people to see the person behind the game. I hope you enjoy! Ask anything in the comments 🙂 Steel Command designer/3D artist: @syphotic.bsky.social #IndieGames #RTS #IndieDev #GameDev

Perfect RTS Unit Balancing ⚖️ As Thanos said I think: "Perfectly balanced, as all RTS's should be" #IndieGame #Gaming #IndeDev #GameDev

I can't wait to share more soon, but the multiplayer network (deterministic lockstep) is working with the new navigation system. (flowfields + avoidance) #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot #RTS

I made a little obstacle course to test the new navigation system. I'm happy with it 👌 #RTS #SteelCommand #IndieGame #Godot #GameDev

Hows custom RTS navigation using flowfields going you ask? 😅 #RTS #IndieDev #Godot #GameDev

I actually REALLY like Godot's UI system. However, it does seem incredibly verbose. I find myself having to add SO many panel/margin containers to get things spaced out exactly how I want. Any Godotians out there with some UI tips? #IndieDev #Godot #GameDev

Just some ASC forces getting hopelessly obliterated by the KOR. Thank you for your service 🫡 #RTS #IndieGame #SteelCommand

People say our game is too much like Command & Conquer. Are they wrong? 🤔 I personally don't find anything wrong with drawing a lot of inspiration from beloved childhood games. #RTS #SteelCommand #IndieGame #CommandAndConquer

Navmesh visualization using the new Flowfield vs using the old Navigation Mesh from Godots built in libraries. I'm liking this a lot better! #RTS #SteelCommand #ShowMeSunday #IndieGame #Godot

Without VS. With Dithering. Not a huge difference, but I do prefer the shadow dithering for our specific style. #RTS #IndieGame #SteelCommand

Custom pathfinding solution is coming along nicely 🗺️ You toggle the navigation visibility, which will really help map creators validate where units can/cannot go #RTS #IndieDev #GameDev #SteelCommand

Here is (currently) the most powerful unit in Steel Command, the B-F-T. I'm sure you may be able to guess where the inspiration came from... The machine gun acts as a completely independent weapon system than the main cannons. What do you guys think? #RTS #RTSGame #IndieGame #SteelCommand

RTS Pathfinding 🧭 It's not perfect, but it's a great start! I was able to create a Flowfield pathfinding + avoidance prototype. Next step will be integrating it into Steel Command. #RTS #RTSGame #IndieGame #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

RTS Community Maps 🗺️ Another day, another playtest. I'm blown away at the creativity from the playtesters! They did things I never even thought of, and made really good use of the modeling tool 🛠️ #RTS #RTSGame #IndieGame

Deterministic Lockstep Over a Local Network 🔒🚶‍♂️‍➡️ This may not look like much, but I'm incredibility excited about this. Deterministic lockstep seems to be the standard for RTS multiplayer architecture, and I was able to get it a small prototype working over my local network. #gamedev #indiedev #rts

🗺️ RTS Pathfinding Secret 🧭 The more experience I get in game dev, the more I'm convinced that half of it (at least) is all about tricks, illusions and optimizations. #GameDev #IndieDev #RTS #RTSGame

RTS Unit - "Spartan" 🪖 The ASC Spartan is my favorite unit in Steel Command. This is the 4th iteration of it! @syphotic.bsky.social is a master-chef of his craft 🧑‍🍳🍳 #IndieGame #RTSGame #RTS #Tank

RTS lineup is looking TOUGH 😎 What do you guys think about our units so far? @syphotic.bsky.social cooked with these 🍳 #RTS #IndieGame #ScreenshotSaturday

Wow. Adding simple camera shake when units fire adds SO MUCH JUICE 🧃. This is some low hanging fruit that gives the battles much more intensity. #RTS #RTSGame #IndieGame #Gamedev

Steel command RTS has grossed 2000+ wishlists on Steam! It's amazing to see the traction & attention we are getting whilst in the early stages. Once we have more gameplay fleshed out, there will be SOOO much more to show off. Thanks everyone! #IndieGame #IndieDev #RTS #GameDev
