Are you sure that you played OUR game Sacraboar? The AI is not poor. We have 18 difficulty levels, maybe you should have tried a harder one?

Just to show that I am serious: If you send me a replay in which you beat “Legend” (2nd hardest) in a ctp game with cap limit 3 I will give you a free copy of the game.

You can choose the map on which you play (demo contains two maps for skirmish) and the start position. The deal is open for one week from today, Nov 6th.
Ok?

About the limited camera control, It’s not completely free but:
When holding the ALT-key you can rotate, when pressing shift while moving it’s faster
All keys can be reconfigured in the options.
You can change the way the camera is controlled a lot in the options -> controls window.
Maybe you just overlooked what you were hoping for?

Played the demo.
Wasn’t overly impressed, although it’s a solid basic implementation of the RTS.
Poor AI and limited camera control rather hurt it though.

There was also an RTS called S.W.I.N.E.

Clearly pigs were born to fight with advance weaponry, at least in the minds of developers.

Bloody hell, Psycho Pigs UXB, there’s a name I haven’t heard in ages.
Was a massive hit with YS wasn’t it?

For some reason I keep reading it as “Manahoar,” and then I miss sacrifice.

Except the end, that boss is a fucking asshat if you go with a certain Wind God.

Hi, I am a developer from Makivision Games. I think we will consider “Spaceboar” as a name for our next game. ;-)

I misread it as Spaceboar, and was disappointed to find the real (but still quite nice) game.

The demo for the game went up yesterday on Steam, I believe.

I preordered it through GamersGate, though. Looks like fun.

I really wish this was Hogs of War related, that game was fantastic.

Saw this on the steam front page and thought the name was cool, was actually going to post a thread here to ask if anyone knew more about it as it looks interesting. Not totally sure it looks /good/ though.

Greater than or equal to ‘Hogs of War’? ‘Born to Grill’ etc.
