Falling Frontier got a new trailer and it continues to look like incredibly my jam. Been waiting for something else to make space combat that reminds me of SoaSE. https://twitter.com/stutterfox/status/1663392611166715904?s=46&t=IW0MSOWK0Lh4VsB3wVLoOA

My one complaint is that the dev hired a new artist but I kind of think I prefer his own older, greeblier ship designs.

I'm pretty sure it's because the older designs were all public domain/asset repository designs. Falling Frontier ship:  Ship from an indie space RPG Between the Stars:

Also, go Hooded Horse. I feel like an appreciable percentage of the recent games I’ve really liked or upcoming games on my wishlist they’ve picked up to publish.

Yeah, Hooded horse seem to be really picking up those good indi games and giving them a platform. I've been interested in Falling Frontier since it was first announced, it looks like a nice hardish sci fi game.

Old World, Against the Storm, and Nebulous: Fleet Command (which is likely to overshadow Falling Frontier for me) have all been favorites... and every single one is published by Hooded Horse.

Turns out there was a long stream for Slitherine's Terminator game. It looks kind of like a Wargame title/World in Conflict. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc0sbtNTNZs

Anyone playing Dune Spice Wars? New update brought out Conquest mode and it sounds cool af. I'm familiar with Northgard so I know how this dev makes their games but I've been waiting on it to get further in development before pulling the trigger.

Rest in peace to Purple War: they shut it down because it wasn't profitable enough. Multiplayer servers will die in November, but you can still do the single player campaigns. I really liked the video game.

It's pretty alright, I never played Northgard but I enjoyed Spice Wars. That said, I'm a big nerd for Dune and I liked the graphics, and haven't seriously played an RTS since Dawn of War. So ymmv.

I need some recommendations for nerdy strategy games on PC with good out of the box controller support. It is for my father who is bedridden, and has to strain to play his normal games with keyboard and mouse. No mods or games where you need to keep a cheat sheet for the controller commands. Also, no anime games. Here is a summation of his tastes:  I rarely play with controller, and when I do I go for a Disgaea or AW related game, which he doesn't like.

toasterwarrior posted:Does Tactics Ogre count as an anime game, because it loving owns this. if it helps at all the story is far more game of thrones-esque than whatever you'd think an anime story looks like. warhammer 40k daemonhunter and mechanicus are also worth checking out. my friend played mechanicus entirely on the switch so i assume its controller controls are decent. daemonhunter is going to feel even more like "XCOM but with warhammer" so if XCOM2 is in competition i'd rec getting either that instead or checking out mechanicus.

I'm pretty sure Aliens: Dark Descent has controller support. I've been having fun with it and I think it falls under "strategy".

I wish my dad was even a hundredth that interested in gaming. Literally the only game (video or board) I've ever been able to get him to play is Wii Sports.

Half the search results are people complaining that some update broke controller support. And it only works if Steam is in Big Picture mode for some reason.

Mordja posted:I mean, if he liked Xenonauts, the sequel just hit EA. He is probably playing it right now. But sitting up to play it normally is kinda uncomfortable for him, which is why I am asking for games with good controller support. Sitting up is still probably easier for him then figuring out the controller controls for xcom2 or learning how to operate handheld console. Which is why I am asking for games with good controller support.

I’ve also heard good things about playing stellaris on it. I think AoW4 is decent on a controller and might interest him.
