New TLF Screenshots!
« on: April 08, 2014, 02:41:52 pm »

The Last Federation is a really unique game in that it is a strategy/tactics game set inside a simulation game.  Check out its game page for details, or swing by the forums for the game.  This is Arcen's largest title ever, and we're really excited to share it with folks.

Alpha Information! Private alpha testing with players is currently in progress, and we will be adding more players throughout the coming weeks leading up to release.  If you're interested in signing up, please see this forum post.

Screenshots for you!  The launch of the game is less than two weeks away, so these are the launch screenshots -- these particular screens aren't going to be changing much in terms of how they look between now and then, although some others are still very much in the process of being polished.





















Enjoy!

I really like how those action selection screens are much prettier now.

Thanks, me too!  I hadn't fully registered how much it was bothering me prior to that.

Did you have to go to war with all 5 faction to get them firing at you? ;P

I must say, have never played long enough game-time to get so many armadas. EDIT: although I spent a lot of real time...

Haha, that's a combat practice that I set up.  We still use that for dev purposes, which is useful.

The number of armadas in that game is about 240 for the Peltians and 180 for the Andors, I think.  They are in the process of ripping the Burlusts and the Acutians to shreds, heh.  That's about 10 hours of gametime in, although it is a save from a much older version of a game before some of the newer armada logic was put in, so I doubt that that many would wind up sitting around unused for so long that they would collect like this anymore.  Who knows, but at any rate most races are now so aggressive after 100ish armadas that it tends to keep the armada counts to about a third of what is shown there.  Per race.  So that many total armadas is totally doable if you are helping out a lot of races and trying to keep it balanced Skyward-Collapse-style.  It's just harder to do now. :)
