KickStarter Iron Harvest - RTS set in alternate reality of 1920+ from KING Art Games

So it's going to be CoH with mechs?Sounds promising

Looks like it. It's exciting to see the Scythe game come to life. Though, I'm sure Iron Harvest will focus more on combat.

Im happy to hear they are taking inspiration from first Company of heroes, one of the best rts on the market in my opinion especially with some mods

Looks promising. However, PC or GTFO.

No way this isn't coming out for PC first.

 

[Baron Dupek]

It's coming for PS4, XboxOne and PC. It's smell hipsterish so I guess consoles first, in terms of control.
I experiences action RPGs that have borked controls beause they were designed for pads, so there is some space for fuckups, even in obvious, fukup-proof fields. Is the same thing happening in this RTS? You bet they test this project on pads because they have no space for testers for kb+m because only nerds and programmers use these peasant tools...

Looks a bit like the Men of War engine.

RTS made for shitpads tend to be unbearably slow and simplistic.

Kickstarter on March 13th:

 

[Alienman]

Here I thought it was already financed.

 

[Catacombs]

Agreed. I was pissed to see their "big announcement" was them just going on Kickstarter and asking people for more money. This means we'll need to wait even longer to play this.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Will the Polish Holocaust be properly adressed?

 

[Baron Dupek]

What do you know - it's a Company of Heroes clone.

 

[Alienman]

Well, that is disappointing. I was hoping it would be more like Men of War... you know with real projectiles.

 

[Murk]

I like CoH but that still looks pretty silly.

 

[Talby]

Turn-based or bust.

 

[Infinitron]

The Kickstarter is live now FYI: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingartgames/iron-harvest

 

[PanteraNera]

Well aparently they are doing what their player-base wants.

Wow at least some indies care what their target audience wants.

Personally, I really liked what I have seen before it was revealed that it's basically CoH in WW1 with mechs .

 

[PanteraNera]

$850k Reached!
YES! 10 days into our 32 days Kickstarter campaign, we’ve reached all singleplayer stretch goals! Huge thanks, everybody. Next stop: Multiplayer!



As always: If you want the actual numbers (including PayPal), please check out www.iron-harvest.com

I personally find it funny that multiplayer for such a game is a "stretch goal". As if they would EVER release a Company of Heroes "clone" without multiplayer.

About 2/3 of you are mostly interested in the single player campaign(s), 1/3 is more interested in multiplayer. That’s about what we expected.

Seems they are smart, as in doing what their target-audience wants.

 

[Jimmious]

Surprising. I thought the RTS genre is mainly targeted towards multiplayer

 

[MicoSelva]

One of the hosts of a recent episode of Polish gaming podcast Fantasmagieria claims that the game's budget is expected to be $5 million total, and that $1 million has already been spent. The rest will be coming from Kickstarter (as much as they can raise) and from a planned publisher deal.
