Shallow Space is a 3D Real Time Strategy game inspired by Nexus: The Jupiter incident and Homeworld. Shallow Space focuses on organised mass RTS space combat in a fully 3D environment. Ships in Shallow Space are nearly always grouped into Flotillas and Wings, and orders issued to these structures cascade to the subordinate members. Rather than stressing out clicking on the units or dragging selection boxes during the heat of battle, standing orders are issued in advance leaving you to zoom around, activating abilities and arranging support and reinforcements. Should the tide turn in battle traditional control is still available.

Description
Anyone remember the 'Sardaukar' from Dune?
The Cardassian 'Obsidian Order?'
Support us Shallow.space
So, Death-World-Trained-Gestapo, or am I thinking about the wrong Obsidian Order/Should brush up on my Herbert/Both?
I'm talking Star Trek DS9? What are on about? :P
Obsidian order were intelligence, right? Probably more cloak†-y about things.
So I'm slightly confused where the Sardaukar would equate.
Well it was more a general reference to special forces, 'arm of the emperor' type thing...
Warhammer 4k... I am not a fan of that, but there probably some references to space special forces.
What's this? A new faction?! Oooh purple very Slaanesh ;)
Yeah, well actually I coded in all 8 today - all with various colours.
I tell you JPEG compression is murdering these images - might have to start uploading PNG or something, it just looks ****.
there are 8 factions? i hope the differences are beyond just color lol. goodjob
Cheers, yeah they will each have there own traits and perhaps custom ships if we can afford it.
afford it? making games is hard, complex work lol. hopefully if it isnt affordable its atleast moddable.
Yeah you don't need to tell me that buddy! :)
It's also bloody expensive, I'll make it work though - I always do.
sorry lol i wasnt telling that i was just making an observation to myself lol. it didnt seem like changing the sides to look different would cost alot. i didnt really relize that it would cost anything.
one of many reasons i cant make my own games but atleast ur doing good work at making urs
I wasn't offended I was just saying :) thanks and i'm glad you like it :)
Well, Im looking forward to seeing all of this in early access! :D Well.. when Im back from basic training ^^"
Good luck with that dude! Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to you I have a nice game to look forward to :)
Well dude i'm going to step out of line a little bit here by saying that compulsory conscription or not, those days serving in the armed forces are going to change you and most likely for the better.
There is something very attractive about the direction of life in any army, the giving and taking of orders and that feeling of satisfaction at the end of an exercise.
I know you're a little unsure but entertain it, give it 100% and I promise you it'll give you something back in return and you'll see what I mean when you've done your year (or however long it is.)
If not; hands up, come back here and tell me that experience didn't change you for the better and I'll give you a free Steam key.
Keep your chin up and soak it all up.
