So here's our first trailer for NIGHTSIDE, a "classic hardcore rts" as we like to call it. It uses footage from our current pre-alpha build.




 
And more info on the game:

NIGHTSIDE is a classic RTS that draws its roots from games like Dune2 and Starcraft with a few innovative mechanics. The game is set on the night side of a tidally locked planet which of course lies in permanent darkness. There is no fog of war, just the lights of the buildings/units for vision. It features 3 races with completely different play styles and visuals. More info and videos coming soon.

If you're interested in the concept please visit our game's FB page for more info and screenshots here:

Worked on the game's visuals lately so here are some new screens:

This looks really impressive, shame you're not getting much of a response. Have you tried IndieDB or Twitter or even Twitch?

You really have to push your uniqueness forward, I dig the visuals, but 99% of RTS players will be drawn to the mechanics. If you do something really new that's gotta be front and center. I assume the name and the light mechanic are pretty apparent, but what else sets you apart immediately?

The visuals are good, but it's hard to immediately tell what something is or does, which is kind of a problem. Not saying completely get rid of the abstract, just make the units and builds way more clear according to their function.

Edit: Take back a lot of what I said about the designs, much more clear in motion. Everything looks really, really cool.

Thanks for the advice and feedback!

We'll soon start a weekly series of gameplay videos in which we'll showcase full 1v1 matches (player VS AI at the beginning, player VS player later) so people can see how our game feels.
Yes, there will be mechanics related to the darkness-light relationship. You will be able to disable the enemy's lights for a period of time, damaged units will have dimmer/flickering lights and thus affected vision, etc.

We're starting a series of gameplay videos of Nightside called War on the Nightside. And this is the first video featuring a full 1v1 game (player vs AI).
Please note that the game is in pre-alpha state, everything is WIP and there is a lot more to implement and improve.
