simple, do games w Steam REAL TIME STRATEGY FEST is here!!!!

I Highly, highly recommend Against the Storm if nobody has played it yet. Fantastic city builder roguelike with a gorgeous atmosphere and interesting world.

NewNewAccount,

Available on this month’s Humble Choice for $12.

HangingFruit,

And is very great on deck. I’m surprised how it can be so enjoyable on such device

NewNewAccount,

Oh! Good to know! Wouldn’t have assumed that.

What’s that FPS someone made to be as small of a file as possible? It’s like a Quake rip-off, but the game runs as a single executable and is small enough to barely take up the space of a floppy disk (like just a few kilobytes)?

I think any fan of the genre should check out

store.steampowered.com/app/334920/ZeroK/

Active development, amazing and customizable controls (seriously, is you’ve ever been frustrated fighting controls in an RTS, they’ve thought of solutions), and an extensive campaign that serves as a unit tutorial (not the most engaging story is my only regret).

When it comes to controls, the number one thing I’m looking for is controller support, but I don’t see the tag there. I don’t suppose they’re supported and just not listed?

solarvector,

Nope, sorry, didn’t think about that for an RTS. Is definitely designed for keyboard and mouse.

codexarcanum,

Looks like another fan of TA/SC grew up to make their own RTS, and I’m here for all of them!

gccalvin,

I keep hearing about ZeroK and Beyond All-Reason. What are the major differences between the two and how do these compare with Sup Com FAF, TA and such?

False,

Zero K is uglier but has a full campaign, more units, and is less micro intensive.

BAR has better graphics and tiers of units ala classic TA (zero K is flatter), and more active multiplayer.

They both have Total Annihilation as a distant ancestors.

Game’s size depends on many factors. Besides devs’ laziness or the abundance of inique assets and dupes, I had a fun ride with Vermintide 2 whose devs were able to cut game’s size from 100gb+ to 60gb+ at once because they added all incrimental updates as additional archives and also prefered to have all assets for one level in one place even if they are shared, so it grew out of proportion over the years before they decided to cause a complete asset restructurement and dublicate hunt before the major update. It made players redownload big chunks of the game but resulted in a way less terrifying size to those players they wanted to start it or return into.

What 8GB. Some of the best games ever fit in a floppy disk (a real life save icon for the gen z people around here).

Beardsley,

Lmao, I didn’t know someone could be condescending about floppy disc’s, but here we are.

jmcs,

It’s a joke and I didn’t intend it to be condescending.

A floppy? How many copies of kkreiger do you need?

jmcs,

I need the rest of the space for my humongous demos collection.

bstix,

The first section of my disc box was for demos. The rest for games. The games sometimes got overwritten, but the demos never got sacrificed, because those were hard to get.

These days I just go to pouet.net and watch the YouTube clips. I know, it’s a ridiculous procedure to stream megabytes of video to watch a 100kb demo run, but I just can’t be bothered to make my pc run anything by itself anymore.

Retro_unlimited,

Back in high school i had a floppy with an NES emulator and several games. Was able to play nes game on school computers. Never got caught doing that lol

blackn1ght,

Transport Tycoon.

Although that may have been 3 floppies.

LOL OP thinks kids still know how to use computers with physical keyboards.

Gen Z can barely operate them, and Gen Alpha can’t even read, let alone figure out a desktop PC; imagine how stupid kids in the 2070s are going to be.

lobut,

I remember Thor from PirateSoftware talking about that … a lot of kids only know touchscreens.

The first time I was hit with something like this, I was playing Doom and my dad said if I pressed CTRL+ALT+DELETE, I could access the cheats.

This was back when it didn’t come up with the little prompt and some options, that command straight up reset the PC.

Cenzorrll,

It was a dark day when the three-fingered salute was nerfed.
