Ziet er leuk uit, betwijfel wel of het een heel wordt als AOE of C&C

Iron Harvest 1920+: Een post-WW1 dieselpunk RTS

Anyway: zin an. Ik hunker al heel lang naar iets nieuws á la Company of Heroes, en laat dat nou net (gameplay-wise) één van de grote inspiraties zijn voor Iron Harvest.

Trouwens Bb, was jij niet ook van de boardgames? Scythe schijnt erg tof te zijn (gebruikt dezelfde '1920+' setting van Jakub Rózalski).

Gameplay Rules

There should be as few rules as possible and as few exceptions from these rules as possible.

Rules should be communicated clearly or - even better - rules should be experienced instead of taught.

Rules should be intuitive and "logical" (based on real-world experience).

We start with almost no rules at all and we only add a rule if it enhances the user experience considerably. We DO NOT add rules to make the game more complex or "realistic".

Rules have to matter. A rule like "If you attack from an elevated position, you make 5% more damage" isn't worth it. If you double your damage or kill an enemy instantly, it might be worth a try.

Traceability: Players need to be able to understand what's going on, just by looking at it.

User Interface & Controls

Simplicity: "Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

We want a clear, intuitive design: The less we need to explain, the better. We will try to avoid redundancies.

Let the player decide: The player can decide what they want to see and where they want to see it. Everything can be configured. This way, a beginner isn’t overwhelmed and a pro has all the info they need.

The player needs immediate feedback for everything they doe (visual, sounds).

The UI has to be fun. A look that matches the time period and the “mechanical world” we’re in.

Leveldesign & Gameplay

Players need at least one clear goal at all times. It can be very hard to achieve that goal (or even unclear on how to achieve it) but it should never ever be to hard understand what that goal is.

Sandbox gameplay: We believe RTS players don’t want to be spoon-fed by the developers, they want to be in control and come up with their own tactics and playstyles.

Players are faced with varied challenges in the game and they have a wide arrange of tools and possibilities to solve them.

Players need enough time to assess a situation, explore all possibilities, come up with a plan and execute that plan. Tactics have to be more important than clicks per seconds.

When you reach a goal, a new one, an even more interesting/bigger/harder goal, appears, leading up to the final showdown. Action-heavy phases alternate with quiet ones. A level should oscillate between “almost too easy” and “almost too hard”.

Levels should be visually interesting and tell stories (big ones and small ones). Nothing should be there “just because”. Everything needs a reason to be there and each level has to tell us something about the world and the people living there.
