WHY JOIN US
* The project is using a powerful commercial engine - Neoaxis. It is a game engine framework build with RTS in mind on the award winning open source rendering engine Ogre3D.
* The team consists of industry professionals as well as people with vast indie development experience. The objectives are very reasonable and our asset, progress is a solid proof of this.
* Over a year of pre-production phase! 50+ units concepts, 30+ units models most in game working with all the bells and whistles - animations, tanks moving, turrets firing, accompanied by smoke and other VFX.
* RTS 3d models are fairly simple and far less time demanding artistically than any other genre(goes double for indie). This greatly enhances the art asset quantity and quality that we're able to produce despite the indie development limitations.
* The project is held stable and active at all times by SEVERAL industry and vastly indie experienced core members.
* BUDGET. We have invested into this project, members, contractors etc from our own pockets! This is something an average project promising mountains of gold would think twice before doing.
