Девід Кім, ветеран Blizzard, працюватиме над новою RTS

Edit: my brain skipped over the word “new” before “Uncapped Games”

“So what we want to do is modernize a lot of it, and make it so any gamer can play this game.

Any gamer can play Starcraft. The thing is, that there’s always somebody who can do all of the things faster, whether you dumb the game down or not.

If I beat you to it, can’t it be considered high-effort trolling?

But more seriously, glad to see there’s a lot of people going back to RTS games, it’s a lot similar to what happened with isometric RPG, a bunch of people deciding at the same time to start non-related indy project and it worked great from them, hopefully it will be just as good to us.

“That doesn’t mean dumbed down or simplified,” Hughes notes. “That just means lowering the barrier to entry for more people to expose them to what’s great about RTS games.”

Curious what that actually means. Guessing they are dumbing down the macro / automating it.

Actually it’s not that fun to do repetitive things like hatchery injection or chrono boosting nexuses a few times per minute and building new bases/structures as much as you can. So I think it’s time to make RTS less mechanically based and more entertaining and it’s good to see that our beloved oldies/veterans moving to that direction finally .
