Hello Everyone!
As you might know, we are working on our next city builder.
Planetbase 2 will obviously take place in a completely different setting compared to Dawn of Man, but the gameplay mechanics will be heavily inspired by it, we consider this our 3rd iteration of our particular type of City Builder RTS games.
If you liked Dawn of Man, we really hope you will feel right at home in Planetbase 2.
Many features are making a comeback, in improved form.
Planetbase 2 will feature an Upgrade Tree, divided in phases, like in DoM.
The phases will be the various stages of the colony: Outpost, Settlement, Colony.
Each phase unlocks new techs, but also new challenges, and alters gameplay substantially.
This is the new version of DoM's Primal Vision mode, it allows you to see resources (on the surface and underground) and the Heat Map (to place Geothermal Plants).
These were a hit in DoM and are making a comeback in evolved form, you use them to monitor your resources, power grid, food supply, oxygen consumption and a lot more.
These will work similar to DoM, they are used mostly to harvest surface resources, but also to prospect areas or to level terrain.
The game will still focus heavily on automation, but sometimes micromanagement might be necessary, especially at the beginning of the game or in combat.
You can check out our dev updates for more, see some screenshots as well.
We hope you are as excited about this as we are, and you join us in this journey from the beginning of mankind to it's near future!
Thanks!
Martiño.
