News Liste Dawn of Man

Hello Everyone,

As you might know, we are working on our [url="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3509420/Planetbase_2/"]next city builder game[/url].

After releasing [b]Planetbase[/b] back in 2015, when we decided to make a sequel, we decided to change the setting completely and we made [b]Dawn of Man[/b] instead.

For our next city builder installment, we are going back to our origins and we are creating [b]Planetbase 2[/b], however this is in every way a spiritual successor to [b]Dawn of Man[/b], the same way the later was a successor to PB1.

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3509420/Planetbase_2/"][/dynamiclink]

We see this game as the [b]3rd iteration[/b] of our [b]city builder[/b] formula, and we are trying to make [i]Dawn of Man[/i] players feel at home in the game.

This is an [b]updated[/b] comparison of some of the evolved features that are making a comeback.

Upgrades

One of the main new mechanics in DoM compared to PB1 was the [i]Tech Tree[/i]. In PB2 we are going to have something similar that we are going to call [i]Upgrades, [/i]we are using a different name, because these are both technologies and general improvements for your base.

We are also having several [i]Stages,[/i] that unlock different upgrades, like the [i]Ages[/i] in Dawn of Man.

Vehicles

We are adding a variety of vehicles to Dawn of Man, that will fulfill sort of similar roles to what the did in DoM. Instead of [i]Sledges[/i], [i]Carts[/i] and [i]Plows[/i] you are going to have [i]Rovers[/i], [i]Trucks[/i], [i]Harvesters[/i]. This is apart from autonomous machines like [i]bots[/i] and [i]drones[/i].

Work Areas and Scan Mode

[i]Work Areas[/i] are making a comeback, and also [i]Primal Vision[/i] mode, which is now called [i]Scan Mode[/i].

These DoM concepts will allow the player to find resources and automate harvesting much easier compared to Planetbase 1.

Direct Commands and Task based AI

The AI in DoM was a big step up compared to PB1, and we are bringing many of these new concepts to PB2, like the ability to [i]give direct commands[/i] to your people or the concept of [i]tasks[/i], where people have a task composed of a list of actions that they will perform until completion, without getting distracted by other actions.

• Customizable UI panels and graphs

• Resource Limits as a percentage of the population

• Orientable structures

• Multi selection of characters and structures

• Storage filters

• Larger maps and more compact settlements

• Higher game speeds up to 8x

There is a lot more info in our [url="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3509420"]PB2 dev updates[/url] if you are interested.
