Hey guys, we are an indie studio and we work on a new RTS game. Is it ok to invite people to our discord channel? We are all old-f so we are new to reddit.
Self-Promo VideoI hope it's ok I am sending it here.
How are ya new to reddit if you guys advertised another rts the same way 3 years ago
Oooo
Lol yeah that's some shit aint it
Hey, 3 years ago we developed and RTS called M.E.C and we were only 2 creators there, now we are in a different team, with 8 more people, back then we were unexperienced in the field of marketing and we didn't understand it properly. Also Covid-19 hit us hard.
We are new to Reddit in all the other manners, we don't really know how it works, like we are rookies here haha.
We just went to post here cause people suggested it to us!
We do our best, sorry if it came out like a spam or anything.
This is so feigned. There is nothing to "get" it's a message board with some rules you read before posting.
Yeah we realized it yesterday haha. Thanks!
I dunno dude, every subreddit seems to have its own set of rules you have to follow regarding posting. Some subs allow self-advertising, some don't. Some have title formatting rules, comment rules, etc. Plus, there's the site-wide "culture" and each subreddit's own cliques which might downvote/hide/ignore for whatever reason.
Yeah, mechanically using the site isn't hard or anything, you're right about that. I can just see how there'd be a little trepidation if you're trying to do things "right".
Reminds me of a unit you would see in command and conquer.
Thanks!
Name of the game?
Hey, we haven't announce it yet!
But you can join our discord - > https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
Sick rad footage, some good old school vibes, keep it up
Thank brother!
What about base building?
Hey CashDi,
If you want, you can join our Discord and we will share some more screen shots from the game, next week - > https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
That didn't answer the question
That’s because this is some kind if scam based on their behavior
Nah, all the people in our discord see that we are just RTS lovers who develop a new RTS.
Just try us.
Do you not have a website or anything?
I'm personally very wary and tired of discord being used for everything. I'd much, much rather read a website or browse a community forum.
We will soon have a steam page and we are also working on the website.
It takes time cause we are working on the game also.
But I get you.
Haha because we also showed a construction animation there, of course we have Base Building :)
This is so cool! I’m super keen to see more of this
The model design is stunning dude
Thanks man!
Come to our discord, there is more there and more to come!
Looks interesting. I do really like the animations.
Thanks! much appreciated!
My heart is absolutely CRAVING a good ol' RTS.
This gives me some Tiberium vibes.
Hope you guys successfully release it.
Thank you so much!
You are more than welcome to join our discord - https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
Looks awesome! Love the vibe.
Just a minor criticism: needs recoil physics.
Thanks man, we know, it's still in progress and there will be recoil physics :)
And deflections when hitting hard armor front sides. So positioning is important for heavy units.
You can also join the Discord and give us your suggestions there too!
The first tank wars game I have played was Scorched Earth in 1991. What made it beautiful was the destructible terrain. I really wish we could see this again in modern games
Nice to know buddy, thanks for sharing!
I'm excited about all action in new RTS lately. This looks cool. Very cnc looking. That would be amazing.
Thank you so much!

Have you considered large maps like in supreme commander ? Maybe even larger?
We are always thinking about new ways to make the RTS genre more immersive, this question is rising a lot when we talk about our game.
You can join our community and talk with people there about it - > https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
You know, people make the changes. We are the vision and our vision is going well so far :)
Large scale warfare, or small scale units/squads ?
Kind of both, there are lots of things that could happen in battle, from full scale combat to tiny micro village battles, you know how it is.
Join our Discord - > https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
what kind of RTS is this? More macro/ micro oriented, multiplayer, campaign, other game modes? Something about world - earth or many planets? Asymmetrical factions, some form of heroes?
We have lot's of things to share soon, join our discord and we give most of the details there right now -> https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
That shit looks cool
Thanks!
We would love if you joined our discord channel -> https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
Unreal Engine 5 with nanite? :O
It's indeed UE5
Is this gameplay or a cinematic render? Leaning to the later for me
It is gameplay, and we want it to look even better!
Join us - https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B

this seems nice, the lights remainds me spellforce 3 but in the future.
Thanks!!!

Looks fantastic!
Thanks! join our discord -> https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
Looks absolutely astounding! I would love to play the game when it releases.
Thanks! appreciate it! please join our discord for more info about it -> https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
I get the vibes from the 'three tanks fighting it out' video of total annihilation. Which is good since I love that game.
Think about all the warfare that will be since I can say that we got much more than only that tank.
Join our discord for more info -> https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
Looks awesome!!! 😎💎
Thank you!!! we would love if you joined our discord -> https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
Now that... is one sexy tank.
Like maybe the turret could look a bit cooler but that autocannon is just perfect.
Thanks!! really glad you liked it! join our discord -> https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
I don't like discord, post a link when I can wish list it
Cool, we will! Thanks!
EDIT: Through this thread I managed to get some answers. So far, this teaser and one or two more models/animations is really all this project amounts to at the moment (at least regarding what they've released publicly). Their website is still under development and their company is only a few months old. So this project is in the very, very early days of development. That said, it doesn't appear on its face to be suspicious, though it remains to be seen if this game will ever see the light of day.
Of course, everyone should always exercise due caution out there on the internet. Stay safe friends. Original reply below:
I looked through this person's post history, something's not adding up. They spammed this post to every RTS community on all of reddit in a short amount of time. They seem to refuse to give any further detail about this supposed game when asked, and virtually every comment contains a link to their discord. They also consistently state they're new to reddit despite their account being 4 years old.
This seems more like spammer/scammer behavior.
I would advise anyone to use caution and probably not to click the discord link or engage with this user, their behavior seems a bit suspicious.
We appreciate your dedication to protecting the RTS community from spammers and scammers. However, building a large and engaged community requires sharing our content and invitations in as many relevant places as possible.
We are a passionate team of 10 developers, fully committed to our creation. Instead of unjustly discrediting our hard work, we invite you to join our community and be a part of our game development journey.
If you guys are legit, I strongly recommend soliciting advice on how to market your game in a way that looks honest and doesn't set off red flags. Regarding the "unjustly discrediting our hard work" comment, how can I gauge what that hard work was? All we have is a couple of seconds of footage of a tank firing a few rounds. How am I supposed to know if you guys have more if you refuse to share?
Just be more forthcoming with what information you have and what work has been done so far and I won't have a problem. But right now all I see when someone asks an honest question is a non-answer that links to your discord server with no explanation of what users should expect to find there. You have to agree, that sounds a bit scammy, no?
Hey! I Promise we will show some more work as fast as we can!
I know how you feel and I also get a bit of a scammy vibe when I see something without a proper gameplay with UI and also a Steam page, but we are overwhelmed with comments so I cannot reach everyone, although I really try to.
If you want to see that we are legit you can really join our discord with all the other almost 800 people that joined us and saw that we really are legit.
We will soon reveal more info, sorry for the inconvenience!
An for our short history *more like my short history*, I was not really into Reddit but I will try to be more into it right now that I see it's super active and really helps our project.
Well, I'll keep an eye out for this promised information I suppose. Though I have to ask, if you too get a "scammy vibe" from projects that look like yours, why publicize it at this stage? It sounds like it's a bit early for all that. It would be one thing if you posted in a few indie game subreddits asking for opinions on your tank render, but why blast it all over reddit and relentlessly pump your discord at the same time? It just seemed too... aggressive.
But anyways I'm happy to keep an open mind and await further info. I may be skeptical but I don't mind being proven wrong. Best of luck.
Thanks,
The reason we publicize it was because lots of devs on LinkedIn told us we should.
And as much as we know that we hadn't show anything large scaled and with lots of info, this is why we don't say much right now, cause we know people getting skeptical about projects like this.
Thanks again for the feedback, we will do better from here and we learned a lot from this discussion friend!
I think it's specifically the tight-lipped nature of your posts that caused folks like me to be skeptical here. That and the aggressive pushing of your discord link. It's worth noting that not all discord links/servers are safe, so people who know a thing or two about cyber security know to think twice before joining a random, unvetted discord server.
But really, even if you don't have anything to show yet, just a few quick words about what your plans for the game are would go a long way. What do you have so far and what is the general direction the project is headed in? What's your vision for the end product?
I understand that would be tiresome to copy/paste everywhere but surely you could provide a little something to satisfy the handful of us who are particularly skeptical? We want to know it's safe/legitimate before we join an unknown, unvetted discord server. And some of us don't want to join a discord server at all, especially just to get info
Thanks man, much appreciated and lesson really learned haha.
This was a good opportunity to finally dispel the skepticism and answer some of the questions people have been asking... and rather tellingly, your response doesn't answer anything. Why is it so difficult to get any substantive information from you guys?
Sorry, about that, I must have miss understand you, English is not my language haha.
We are a team of 10 developers, 4 artists and 6 devs, the game is built on the Unreal Engine 5 (5.4 actually).
The game is going to have a base building, Huge campaign, a rich story and new mechanics that we develop in order to take the RTS games to a new path.
Our road right now is to finish our steam page (need to finish 2 more gifs and one medium-large gameplay video) and we are ready to publish it for people to explore the idea of the game, some of the lore and maybe wishlist it if the want to.
We use discord right now as our main HQ for work\community because we cannot control to many socials + we create a magazine of content to use it for algorithms like facebook\instagram and more social places.
That's really all I can say, our Studio called TriArts Games and the name of the game will be revealed soon :D
Supreme commander /extreme build meta's *emergent from rock, paper* retrofitting like dwu, / company of heroes tank physics / world of tank physics, ta air with formations, and gunships, maybe hw2 air in terms of physics and weapons, not ashes of sing, some new kind of engine that isnt unreal or unity. (instant switch off cookie cutter engine) and boom next gen rts and isnt playing catchup to features D-)
You've still got time, i havent seen anything interesting from shattered sun yet, soz dont want to be that guy, i know their in a slow lane with following behind supcom, but not a damn thing is interesting about it yet.
Tough love but I know I represent the rts gamers who have played since ta/c&c days, but I see constant examples of really simple rts. how on earth are we supposed to purchase those products? it needs to be epic let alone in fun and emergent feature set.
Good luck, soz if im a gremlin.
Thanks! Join our discord buddy -> https://discord.gg/hvC6g76d5B
