Will it have very wide options?

I mean, main and balanced game is what you like to see it, but how about add modes or options that will turn standard game into something crazy, like Supreme Commander with their masses of units?

Era One dev. update

Mar 6

We want to thank the many of you who are joining our wishlist, day after day, despite our lack of communication.
We are working hard, and all our efforts are focused on development.

This is our first post, and we waited so long because we wanted to have a clear vision regarding Era One and its development.
The Kickstarter campaign allowed us to kickstart this ambitious project, and now the team is strong and can reach the goal.

We will release the development build 4 at the end of March, which will introduce Unity's DOTS (data-oriented tech stack) and a complete transition to HDRP (high definition render pipeline).
Graphics and performance have received a significant 3X boost, compared to our last build.
We want Era One to keep up with technology, be upgradeable, and stand the test of time.

The build 4 will be playable for Kickstarter backers, and a detailed gameplay video is in the works, showcasing the system's infinite gaming possibilities.
We also confirm the release date, set between September and October 2024.
Era One will be released in Early Access with "player vs CPU" and "sandbox" modes, followed shortly by the multiplayer support.
The campaign requires more time and budget, so while the game is prepared to handle it, and it's our final focus, it will be introduced in the subsequent release.

We aim for an uncompromising game with the highest quality and detail.
Therefore, we're limiting content creation to focus on the quality of what currently exists, while reserving time to introduce new features later with proper focus and care.
Era One is developed by veteran modders and passionate players, it is created following the logic of development builds and "always ready to play."
With a solid foundation, features are introduced and rigorously tested, sequentially.
The build is our goal, ensuring the game is always playable in different stages of development, guaranteeing fun, evolution, and, above all, deep quality.
It's our philosophy, and we're confident you'll appreciate being with us for many years.

Thank You,
beghins

Less blocks more rectangles?

Can players assume that at least some ships won't look like big floating blocks moving around? Will we have ships that look like UNSC Battle Cruisers that are long and space ship like?

Have you thought about procedural ship skinning? Covering the guts of ships with a hull?

Could add some flavor to ship design if a hull with a consistent shape language could be procedurally generated over the raw guts of the ships builds. (shape language think EVE factions: sleek or spiky, bulbous or minimal) Maybe its an option. Maybe its something that could get destroyed revealing the innards. Maybe it gets hidden in build mode. I know ideas dime a dozen but something to think about....
