Planetary Annihilation - Kickstarter Project

I backed this too. Interplanetary RTS, something that's never been done. Its great to see new ideas and gameplay, in this genre.

The stretch goals don't look too ambitious either. I'm optimistic that they should hit the 1st one, water planets and naval warfare.

$940k with 15 days still to go

I can see them hitting $1.1m and hopefully $1.3m for the gas giants

.

I'm so looking forward to this hitting next year.

Hopefully 1.1m is achievable as I'd really like water planets and naval units, folks need to get backing as this could be an epic game!

Looks awesome,probably won't be out for a very long time?

orderoftheflame · 30 Aug 2012 at 11:45

I'm backing. Looks incredible.

Probably. Even though the video makes it look very complete, I suspect they've still got a long way to go. Especially with the funding they've got now, they'll want to polish it and add a load more features.

The video was just a concept, they have pretty much the whole way to go.

Hopefully the game doesn't deviate too much from the concept!

V4NT0M · 1 Sep 2012 at 09:44

New update, commander concepts and extra stuff for $100 tier, woot!

More people join me on the $100 tier. I actually can't wait.

Windle · 1 Sep 2012 at 10:53

New stretch goal for 1.5m sounds good too

wnb · 1 Sep 2012 at 10:58

This is going to bust its stretch goals its gone up in $1000 in the last hour.

bakes0310 · 1 Sep 2012 at 11:35

Metal and lava planets sound really good, i hope they make it.

Me too. I think they stand a good chance.

I'd love to bump mine up from $40 to the $115, it's just a bit too much though.

CaptainRAVE · 1 Sep 2012 at 11:55

I really hope they reach all of their stretch goals and more. I also wish I could afford to give more!

Only an estimated July 2013, but it could be anytime 2013/14

V4NT0M · 1 Sep 2012 at 13:21

The thing I like about the concept style is the simple textures, I hope they keep it that way with simple decals like those commander concepts.

Compliance.

I agree about the textures. I love the look of Uber's games. I hope the planets are much bigger but stylistically I think they pretty much nailed it.

V4NT0M · 1 Sep 2012 at 14:44

I'm quite excited about the miniatures, having some little models will be great. I guess they are offering more on the $100 package as it seems like the higher end of what people want to pay. They want to get people who paid less than that to bump it up.

djkav · 3 Sep 2012 at 22:34

$1.150m

Water worlds and naval units stretch goal passed

Just another 150k for gas giants and orbital strikes

)

And still 10 days!!!

Squark · 4 Sep 2012 at 06:03

Looks like it could be quite good, I think I'll join in

Pledged a silly amount
