Thorondor Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Sword of the Stars: Ground PoundersAnother star upon us shines. Just like when we look up at night and seem to discover something that didn't seem to be there before, so do we find another gleam in the rich Sword of the Stars firmament. Still, stand not just there, mouth agape, because soon Ground Pounders will be upon us!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDt_kwJIR60 Here's word from Kerberos Productions' CEO, Mr.Martin Cirulis: SotS:GP is an old-school, beer and pretzel wargame in the tradition of the classic Panzer General. It will play quick and introduce you to battalion-level ground combat in the SotS universe and is intended for various platforms. It's planned it will be fully multiplayer-capable across platforms. This game will be presented on Kickstarter and an alpha level demo will be released soon. Some of the ground-breaking features: • Control one of 3 armies - Human, Tarka and Hivers• 80+ units covering land, sea and air• Battle across alien worlds on exotic battlefields, including airless moons, lava plains and meteor-blasted wastelands• Seize orbital superiority and call down bombardments on your foes• Build airfields, fortify areas and repair or destroy bridges• Improve your unit's experience and abilities over 3 campaigns • Unlock and collect combat cards for each race• Build unique decks and even tune them for specific battles• Dozens of scenarios to play in skirmish mode or cross-platform multiplayer Though no specific release date has been provided, it seems fairly evident this sci-fi wargame is set to leave its mark on the landscape of the genre shortly. The first screenshots have already surfaced alongside the game's reveal at the Kerberos forums here. Our special thanks to resident agent Space Voyager for shedding further light on this inbound title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Development of a game can get no more transparent than this. Play first, support later, because Kerberos released an alpha demo before the Kickstarter campaign even started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencer_pl Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Looks like Kerberos needs to find a better way of advertising SotS. 4 days to go and not 50% funded. Could it be because Mecron is so hostile to others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I think SotS2 launch could be responsible for this. But GP will probably be released nevertheless, just not through KS. The game must be nearly done. A shame really. I'd be much happier if this KS would succeed and there would be more games coming. As it is, Kerberos may decide to go for more mainstream projects.

Space Voyager Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have a strange feeling Kerberos will pull a rabbit out of the hat. And fund their own campaign, the missing part that is... Thinking of it, this would be beneficial to all parties involved. Kerberos at least gets the already pledged money for a game that is already made and they only lose the KS percentage of the part they filled in. Fans who funded get their game cheaply. KS gets its cut. And Kerberos can brag about a "successful" campaign from now on (thus really making an entrance into Kickstarter), very much like with The Pit. What is there to lose? I'd do it.

Space Voyager Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yep, I was wrong. Not sure if I'm happy or not about it. Is self-funding even allowed at KS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 True, the new campaign is up! Also they went for a flexible campaign, so whatever is raised is raised. A new vid (some new info and a mix of old vids): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Kerberos Productions wish all a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Read their latest (tenth) IndieGoGo update for more info. https://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/SpaceVoyager/Za%20net/HTKerberos_zpsa9eb3657.jpg Obviously the Tarka celebrate it, too, though I'm not sure about the Changed males. What are those? Dig into SotS lore to find out. Or, alternatively, follow this link... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Ground Pounders are running the last lap at IndieGoGo, so close yet not quite there.
