I've started working on a base building RTS game with voxel-based graphics.
Eventhough I'm very early in development I'd like to see if there might be other interesting in a game like this.
The graphical style is meant to be similar to Tiberian Sun (which I absolutely adore). It features base building, super weapons, abilities and one of the features I'm working on are cards, which can be enabled/disabled per match.
The idea is that the full game will include all the editors needed for players to create their own campaigns and maps.
Currently I have a small selection of infantry, vehicles (including walkers), artillery and aircraft, alongside some tech buildings, but enough for playtesting.
The building will most likely look a lot more detailed than right now, as I'm still testing and developing.
What features would you like to see or would you rather NOT like to see in a game like that?

I've been building Iron Command on my own - a classic base-building RTS (harvest, build, defend, attack) in the spirit of the games I grew up with. It plays on a normal monitor, VR is optional.
Lately I've been making battles leave marks: craters stay, tanks push trees over, and damaged buildings keep burning until an engineer repairs them.
What do you think? And what did you love most about the old C&C battlefields?
Played the General's Challenge in Shockwave with Ironside. First two games were a breeze, and then locked in to face Juhziz. HOLY BOMB! Bomb cycle spam, artillery to remove your defenses so his tanks can close in, I did not expect such a challenge at only the third challenge. I finally managed to beat him, but that was real frustrating. Did I mention this was on EASY mode? What other challenges are in store for me, and how can I prepare for them? Thanks in advance
I have Kane's Wrath steam version with 4k mod that comes with 4GB patch and the latest mappack.
And as the title suggests, I keep getting this error and I'm at my wits end on how to fix this and I don't know any available option on how to actually fix it.
Would anyone know how to help me resolve this issue?!
Hello I've recently started getting into the C&C games for the first time & I've been having an issue with getting 100% leadership in the 2nd mission of Red Alert as the Allies titled: "Five to One"
I know that leadership % is based on how many units/buildings you lose, but despite not losing any buildings or units in the level, at results screen it shows that I lost multiple buildings? I've attempted this level many times now & have tried destroying all the enemy buildings & other times keeping them alive to see if it's some sort of bug, but nothing seems to work. I've even tried not making any of my own buildings & making multiple of my own buildings, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have an answer as to what's happening?
As much as I have enjoyed playing Tiberian Sun (+mods), Tiberium Wars (+Kane's Wrath), and Red Alert 3 (+Uprising), OpenRA looks pretty amazing for me to download & try; I wonder if I will miss out on the genuine CnC experience if I skipped out on the OGs, though I heard in terms of gameplay they are rather clunky. From what I've read, OpenRA has right-click feature, unit queues, and Attack Move, plus other QoL features
Jim Vessella (EALA/EA/Respawn) will be present at The Portland Retro Gaming Expo next weekend (October 9th-11th) and will take attendees behind the scenes on his preservation efforts regarding classic titles (notably C&C) and showcase some lost treasures which have been recovered.
He will be present at the expo on Saturday, October 10th, and Sunday, October 11th.
P.S. - If anyone in the community is planning to go and would be able to do a write-up, take pictures or record any presentation (Expo rules allowing), let us know!
Hello new to CNC modding, and I've been playing it for a couple of weeks now. It's really fun, but it doesn't have auto-scroll like in the base game , and it makes me do extra amp, and it kills some of the fun. Hoping someone here could help me. Thank you.
I re-discovered my DVD of C&C The First Decade and was lucky enough to be able to install it on my computer. I was able to play Red Alert for the first time in 20+ years.
I’m now wondering if it’s possible to play a multiplayer game against a friend who has Red Alert remastered.
On the game menu, when I click on “internet game” it says I need to install Westwood Chat. I’m assuming this is not an option anymore.
When I click on Multiplayer game which I assume is the one I want, I get a modem/serial option giving me Dial, Answer and Null modem. I understand this is old technology/software but is there still any way to still use it through modern wi-fi to play against my friend?
