didn't see anyone else posting about this and i definitely think it deserves its own thread. looks unique, kind of getting old school ratchet and clank vibes from the announcer? StarCraft meets No Mans Sky? either way I feel like this is a breath of fresh air in our genre and I will definitely be trying it

i am just goin to ramble off thoughts of things that i would like to see with this game without even knowing much about it, because it gave me ideas of what RTS could be if we deviate a little from the competitive 1v1 model we have in place now. Okay so my vision for this game is this is a planet colonizing tower defense sim. Either it can be linear with a campaign where u travel through the planets and have to defeat various objectives and encounter different types of enemies and bosses (they would actually be unique and each type would require you to play a certain way, for instance a planet inhabited by a species that grows so you're on a clock to defeat them quickly or keep certain sprouting colonies in check, or another planet where the inhabiting species is very aggressive and you have to kind of outlast them until you build up enough forces to start your own retalliation. OR instead of a campaign there could be one planet you start on and its like waves like in old school CoD zombies or waves in any typical tower defense and u have to keep fending them off and see how long you can last. There can be a global leaderboard as well and THATS how the RTS can remain competitive. Or maybe a game that has both. Then finally a feature i would LOVE to see would be user generated planets, sort of like that mario maker game i think (I never played it) and you can create interesting species visually (like Spore) and give them various abilities and design your planet any way you want and you can invite people to try and colonize and explore your planet or leave it in sort of an ;open; state where anyone at any time can visit and challenge your planet.

Looks pretty basic from the promo video and the colours are too garish for me.It may be targeted at the casual market.

I think that is definitely a fair take. I don't think Reynor or Serral will be switching to 'Space Tales' anytime soon... but for a casual game to play occasionally almost like they are billions I think this could be fun. Personally, I don't mind the cartoonish and colorful style.

Wow, it's incredible to see Space Tales being discussed on Team Liquid! Back in the days of Wings of Liberty, I was a regular lurker on this forum, soaking up Protoss build orders. It's like a blast from the past, so thank you for this post!

You're absolutely right: Serral and Reynor won't be swapping StarCraft for Space Tales anytime soon. Our game is exclusively single-player, and we don't aim to compete with the giants like StarCraft or Stormgate – we probably don't even have 0.1% of their budget! 😄 We're a small indie team made of passionate RTS gamers, and Space Tales is our first game.

Regarding our colorful style, we felt that the RTS genre has explored plenty of medieval and realistic war environments, and we wanted to venture into new territory. Our goal is to offer something fresh with quirky aliens, over-the-top designs, and a dash of humor. But most importantly, we're dedicated to creating an enjoyable solo experience.

To embrace this vision, we're launching a demo on October 18th to gather valuable feedback. We'd be thrilled if you could give it a try and join us in shaping this project into something truly special.
