Mailbag Questions!

OH yeah! and i was a total excuse that they might cause epilepsy!

I'm mean if you're an epileptic spending your time playing video games, you're just asking for trouble!
but it wasn't even seizure-inducing in the slightest.

Woa--a-a-ah!

didn't they give us the old art or show us where to find it? I thought it was possible to mod it back to the old way.

I feel my Toy Rush and non-PA related messages would get lost in this sea.

I pestered Meta in a stream once about them, he said it hindered performance, not a lot, but every bit counts, so it likely isn't going to change. Sadly

I seem to remember something similar, we'll have to ask the guys who keep every old build.

that can only be client-side.

you do what you want with your computer, should be in the higher-spec graphical settings.

idk, I saw a dev post in smnc forums so right now is as possible as ever.

Eh it's just Scathis in the SMNC forums. I am sort of curious about what Eka, Ben and Forrest are doing outside of PA?

And just like that I feel a hell of a lot less need to create weird theories about upcoming features I care about

A bit sad to hear that planet generation might stay the way it is but if Jo(h?)n is working on it, there is still hope !

And very happy to hear about Gas Giants being in production. Was quite worried about those

I'd like to know what are the plans for breaking orbital stale mates? I'd like to hear all (or as many as possible) options from now to post release. I have just recently had a conversation about this with people and the fact is that currently they happen and there little that can be done to fix them, even modding wise.

Going to have to give you a non-answer, but we have plans. Oh, we have plans.

. . . (grumble, grumble).

Y U NO Total Annihilation-Inspired Energy System?

Are these plans soon? SOON? Or?

(Most famous picture on forums; hardest to find.)

So...

How goes the development of Toy Rush android?

Will there be a Q&A Stream?

Are there any plans to add shields to the game? Im talking about shield buildings, shield generator units, etc. Also are there any plans to add more units to PA? Im looking at possible T3 units as game enders (the T4/experimental units we had in Supcom). And possible more game ending structures? At the moment the nuke launcher is one of them but will there be more added (besides the unit cannon) such as a massive atillery piece that can fire on other planets (Yes, you can call it the Mavor )?

Ps. When will subs be added back?

The community and Uber are pretty much most generally against most if that, experimentals are a maybe after 1.0, shields are a probably not, and most people are heavily against t3 and stuff.

I had the old effect file. Then hard drive failure happened...


(To avoid double posting I shall respond to two posts in one)

That's a very good question

I remember that the initial plan for PA was to have a large number of different units. Is this still the plan? or have you decided on a reduced selection of units? Can we expect any significant number of new unit additions? Or is that more of a post 1.0 thing?
