Reddit said it is messy. So we introduced rvo to units, cleaned things up a little but it might still look messy. Please share your thoughts. #breezeofashes

I'm honestly very happy with this simple tank design, although I'm still flushing out details and player accent colors.

What are your thoughts on it? Any recommendations?

With the right brush you can paint your foe
And deal them a mean purple blow
A rare color to be
If you are not me
And the name of this paint brush is 'Slow':

Zero-K - Cold Take #33 - Give It Slow - Steam News

Slow rounds out the roster of status effects as it lets you weaken units without fully disabling them. It is a Zero-K original and was given to many units, both new and old.

Quick dev update the second campaign mode for Breeze of Ashes. Let me know what you think. It's very similar to A Game of Thrones Second Edition. #realtimestrategy #rts #rtsgame #gamedev

Finally published the standalone store page for store.steampowered.com/app/3077320/...

Think it got lost somewhat on the main page. Most importantly please leave a review after giving it a spin.

World news make me anxious. Go hot air baloons go!

Think some white noise is missing and lighting. Possibly more shadows for sky islands and baloons.

Water in RTS always interacts in interesting ways with the rest of the game. Read about some of the considerations and choices that went into designing it here:

Zero-K - Cold Take #34 - Build a Navy - Steam News

Take a dive into the mechanics of Zero-K's sea battles. The flat water surface and 3-D underwater movement mechanics present a new set of game design problems and opportunities.
