Surprise! The game is out! You can play the prototype for free on Itch. We have new things coming in our lives so we have to settle for this version of the game.

We hope you will enjoy this first game release in our game dev career.

Stupidly OP stuff #2

Enemy Steeler units can receive upgrades under some conditions. One of these are bullets that have a chance to teleport your units closer. Quite powerful but there are still ways to counter it

Today's menu: tooltips and control groups.

These are the kind of little features that are mandatory for an RTS.

The upgrade system is now implemented. I'd like to take this opportunity to launch the "Stupidly OP stuff" series.

#1: Bullets that teleport back units. Very potent for fast firing units and against melee units.

One day every year, Steelers and Altosians set aside their conflict to share a Radiance-flavored drink.

Merry Chrismas everyone.

We are currently working on the ingame UI. We are experimenting with the player's unit list always displayed on the left side of the screen.

There is no minimaps because each level is set on a tiny island.

@Soundy777 Sometimes you need to beat around the bush.

[Tainted Radiance @RadianceTainted]

Outnumbered? No problem.

While you can't shoot or launch skills through trees or high walls, you can do it through bushes and low walls.

The combat systems and animations are mostly set. Here is a fight of 6 Scarabs (Starting weapon) + 4 Moths (Sniper weapon) against 10 Gunners.

Flawless victory btw.

Here is the teleport skill with 100% more effects and animations. Remember you will be able to give any active skill to any of your units.

The fourth and last unit available for the player is the Bee. It has the support role in a squad by giving additional armor to nearby units.

The buff doesn't stack so you should spread your bees around your squad.

@FleurDeMurWS That could be a nice passive ability for the game and you could have an active skill on top of that.

[Tainted Radiance @RadianceTainted]

In Tainted Radiance, you will be able to give any skill to any unit.

If you could give 1 skill to a unit from any RTS, what would be the most overpowered, crazy or hilarious combination?

The third unit is the Moth. It adds utility to your squad by being able to launch skills from further away than your other units.

The bonus range to launch skills is based on the range of the weapon it is holding.

Our second unit is the Mantis. This second Altosian clan is specialized in attacking.

The clan-specific upgrade of the Mantis gives armor penetration based on the attack damage of the weapon it wields.

Let's talk about units. Players have access to 4 units classes that are customized with different weapons, skills and upgrades

This is the unit from the Scarab clan, the tankiest of the 4. It has a passive that gives it more life

It has been a while since the last update. The production slowed down the past few months and we are back at it.

The game is set on floating islands where the Altosians live.
