Sun Crusher: The Great War

[yapdakilla]

After months of development, finally we have finished the core stuffs of the game. Now we are posting some screenies for preview over here. Feel free to comment.

Sun Crusher is actually a pc multiplayer game blending both real-time strategy and third person shooter gameplay. In this game, you either take role as a fleet commander, or battle armor. As a fleet commander, you spend most of your time planning tactical strategy of your fleets, which each of them is actual human player. You are able to jump into the cockpit of the capital ships on your side as well and have some action. If you play it as a battle armor, you will be joining other players on your side to fight against the enemy fleet. You will enjoy the total action gameplay, and you are expected to follow the fleet commander's order to achieve victory for your team. The victory is achieved by destroying the opponent's mothership.

We will be posting a playable prototype by the end of this month for initial stage testing and to gather more feedbacks. Stay tuned!

We would also like to hear comments in the following area from you guys. Although you can't say much without playing the actual demo, but you can give us your best shot based on your past experience.

- What do you think about the graphics quality from the in-game screen shot?

- Have you played any blended RTS/Action game? What do you think about this genre?

- and anything that you feel that it might be useful for us to make this game even more fun. Thanks!

Okay, first things first- cool name. Love it.

"What do you think about the graphics quality from the in-game screen shot?"

I downloaded the 30meg video, and... I like the ships, but your bullet effects look quite poor. Also, a lot of the 'Particle Illusion' explosions look poor, because they don't fade out naturally. The title screens you have look amazing. Still... some of the areas in game look a bit bland, like the command grind thingy.

- Have you played any blended RTS/Action game? What do you think about this genre?

I think it's an ugly genre to get into, because it's fast becoming a populated one with a ton of great games, which all look fantastic (especially Nexus). To take on the big boy, you're going to have to offer something far above what they do, since you can pick up Homeworld 2 at bargain pricing now.

Sure, ditch the UT music. Is it legal to use it in your video? Also, whoever edited your video didn't have a lot of experience under their belt (not trying to be offensive, just calling it as I see it) because the command section was so boring I almost wanted to fall asleep. If there's anything I don't want to play, it's that command section, just in case it's as boring as it appeared in that video. Also, the battle scenes looked quite poor. They didn't look even slightly dynamic, or interesting- just a whole lot of straffe left a bit, straffe right a bit, while holding down the fire button. It seemed a little devoid of gameplay, to me.

Anyway, sorry to sound harsh, but I'd rather be honest than overly nice.
