>estimated delivery: August 2028
from their Kickstarter
first time they've actually put a conrete timeline on development
they've been working on this for years and years before launching this campaign so I kinda feel like they might actually have a pretty concrete roadmap to hit that deadline

>>2363613
I’d say its much better situation than for example Tempest Rising proclaiming release date to be somewhere in 2023 just to delay it all the way till 2025 and even then the game isn’t complete and still with countless issues and also half of the game being turned into a DLC
Or Dying Breed being weird unwieldy crap
Bunch of DOA StarCraft 2 clones each worse than the previous one
Also worth noting that DORF is literally few guys in a shed where others so far are corporate “indie” slop

quarter of the way there on day one so here's hoping they can at least get to full voice acting, will probably toss some money their way next paycheck

>>2363578
I rmember wishlisting this three years ago

I want to pledge but at the same time: 2028 is a long ways away and I've had several kickstarters take so long that I simply quit caring before they came out

>>2363622
>Bunch of DOA StarCraft 2 clones each worse than the previous one
This is the actual reason I didn't care about Tempest rising or any of the FOTM RTS games that get shilled here when their kickstarter or whatever launches: Nobody seems to want to do anything other than Starcraft 2: again. Then they get like 10 total players and the whole thing becomes vs the skirmish bots (usually this is where they cut the most corners because bots are hard to make) and it becomes identical to just booting up some ancient RTS nobody has ever played like Submarine Titans.

This at least looks fun even if another person except me ever plays it again. The complex logistics and the upgrade and unit systems remind me so much of Tiberian Sun that I could probably stay in campaign forever and be happy.

>>2363701
>65% funded already
if they can keep that momentum for at least another half day they should manage it

>early enough to see a PHYSICAL edition on sale
I NEVER donate to kickstarters

HOWEVER

so hat do you think they'll reach?

>Market your game on 4chan for like 6 years
>Open a kickstarter this late
Yeah no thanks. I have no faith that you'll get it done. Either that or the kickstarter will succeed and then Hooded Horse will pick it up so the kickstarter will be pointless.

yeah by the looks of it a lot of stuff is already done or already exists within the openRA fork they have

>>2363578
First time hearing about it. Looks nice, actually. İt was about time someone had a go at a Red Alert clone

>>2363701
so apparently most kickstarters get 30-50% of their funding within 48 hours so;

>they're at ~$100,000 now so lets assume they hit $115,000 by the 24 hour mark
>things slow down and they make an additional $28,750 by the 48 hour mark for a total of $143,750
>if that's 50% (most likely, they have a decent following but an RTS isn't going to generate a lot of buzz) they'll make about $287,500, enough for another dev
>if it's 30% they'll make $479,166, hitting all stretch goals

Pump that number Dorfchads, daddy needs his dynamic campaigns.

For once we got a proper single player RTS with giant bases, giev your doubloons now.

not too far off the mark anon

This is the only RTS i have hope for..

I'd donate if I actually got to play a demo today. It looked playable like 3/4 years ago.

>>2364601
yeah a demo would have helped funding significantly but by the looks of >>2364001 the AI doesn't really work will all the systems yet and the unit roster is probably limited

>>2364550
at 50% that puts them at $260,000, enough for the co-op campaign, if the devs want more they'll need to pump out more marketing material to get new eyes on

>>2364001
God, we really need a new word to refer to AI in the context of video games

>>2364792

>>2363613
Maybe that's a good thing and it requires a lot of power to calculate all the supply chain and details.

>>2364792
In spanish we use "la maquina" the machine, which I guess sounds kino because you declare you are challenging the machines to a match.

>$146,000 now
safe to say we're getting full voice acting

>>2365537
Now he can delay it for another 6 years to cover all these new features.

>>2365539
new environments and campaigns would probably push it back but I can't see localisation or VA adding much on

>>2365384
>Maquina
I like it

>>2365546
I'm not saying it would set it back, I'm saying he'll use it as an excuse to set it back.

How about they just release a finished game? Only live service games need constant updates, and live service games shouldn't exist in the first place.

Fun fact: "Dorf" is German for "village"

openra devs seething

>>2368384
are they? more eyes on the project and the devs are releasing the source code, more stuff being built off of it would be neat

>>2368384
Isn't one OpenRA guy working on DORF? And don't they regularly publish DORF news on their Discord?

>>2368384
do the dorf devs not contribute to openra?

I don't like how infantry looks in general, movement is goofy
soldiers have nearly the same animation for dying and going prone
do you want to be Red Alert or KKND clone, make up your mind game

>>2368765
Are they still dwarves? I remember that was the whole point originally like a decade ago. C&C with dwarves because dwarves were popular back then and everyone was saying dorf. He took the Yanderedev route though and just sort of worked on it forever.

>>2368384

I will not check the game out for this specific reason

>>2376055

>>2376021
yes

Aight, this shit deserves it, I've been following this project for like 4 years now. Pledged Munitions Mondobaron to get the physical copy and the digital artbook.

>US$ 226,227

Fuck I was hoping for an additional Dev at 275k. Hopefully enough people pledge as a last-minute sprint.

Are there any mentions of modding support anywhere? Since it's made on openra

>>2376135
there is a map editor and they do plan to release the source code

>>2376055
It was supposed to be a placeholder, but it was used for so long that it stuck

>>2376140
>they do plan to release the source code
Based, now we need Wube to release Factorio's sourcecode and we'll be able to get the best military/logistics sprite-based game in history.

Yeah I guess, think there was a poll for the community before the kickstarter that voted on it, I believe his initial idea was to replace it with Wartrash or something

Hopefully but the most important bits for me i.e. expanded voice acting and enviroment were funded so I'm content, everything else was a nice extra

if they want that extra dev they're going to need to make about $35,000 in 4 days, things have picked up a little bit but that's still nearly 9000 a day

Is there a way to pledge without having to make yet another fucking account? Yes, I don't have a kickstarter account.

I get the impression they're rather like in IRL or like how some tabletop strategy games work, they are squishy but spammable, can destroy armored targets if given the right circumstances/support/support weapons (e.g. UIS towed guns, gun crews), and are always technically necessary for capturing objectives like buildings.

>>2377634
Yeah it's gonna be narrow if they can make it. I'm crossing my fingers for that extra dev, I want this game in my hands ASAP so I can spam inbred mutants at people.

main problem with the VA I'd say is that it's not really unified, you can't tell what faction half of these are from based on their VA, but I'm sure that's something that can be ironed out

>>2378758
That we definitely know, e.g. the infantry showcase video. Overall in total we know for sure:

UIS:
>Riflemen
Basic infantry, rifles
>Grenadiers
SMGs+ explosives, can go against light armor, can plant mines
>Mounted Recon
Fast moving infantry with long range rifles + range extension

Warbands
>Warband raiders
Basic infantry, molotovs and shotguns
>Flamers
Flamethrowers, near-on instant death to enemy basic infantry, good against structures or garrisoned enemy infantry. Flames spread, can target ground (shown in fire video)
>Wretch Chuckers
Explosive-only ranged unit, anti armor/structure no apparent close-in defense option

Collective:
>Hazard Troopers
Basic infantry, SMGs/assault rifles
>Combat Pioneers
Shotguns, fires faster than warband raider shotguns. Can place sentry guns
>Powersuits
Electric arc attack, can briefly immobilize vehicles; in numbers capable of destroying even heavy armor.
