Absolutely, I've spent a long while tuning the AI. One thing I've been working on is better board-level strategies. i.e. it can bait the player out, force defensive upgrade strategies and then try outproduce,to dominate.. This happens at harder difficulties! In easy mode, it's pretty forgiving

Two fronts, one target. A pincer attack in Luminaris. Splitting your motes is always a gamble, since they’re your economy and your shield too. Here it pays off. Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/5116110/... #indiedev #gamedev #godot #screenshotsaturday

Right now, the sound.. it winds up and then will pause for about 150ms before popping. I'm going to spend the next few days tuning it. The plan is to have it obvious enough that you don't get caught twice by it :)

Blue throws everything at red. Every mote is economy, army and shield at once, so every push is a gamble. Wishlist Luminaris on Steam 💙 #indiegame #rts #gamedev #godot

Pushing a fortified star in Luminaris. Every mote you send is one you can't defend with, so you either commit fully or don't bother. Wishlist now on Steam (link in bio) #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

The goal is to dominate and exterminate. so a balance is needed. you generally want to fortify front-lines, while bolstering production for supply lines. you can do that several ways, a pure defence build can win with patience

not at all. there's a good mix of aggression vs defence. there's several ways to build up stars to allow each play style

Bit of both. The map spacing buys a breather early, but the real brake is that motes are also your shield. Every attack leaves a gap. It's still the thing I'm watching most closely in playtests, though, so I'd love to know what's worked for you.

Totally agree, it's the thing I've obsessed over most. In Luminaris your first choice is which star to feed motes into, and because motes are also your shield, you can see the gap you've opened straight away. Your opponents can too. What did you change in your opening rebuild?

it was a design decision from the start. I was aiming for quick 5 minute games, with simple upgrades that felt easy, but meaningful. strategic positions become important, again with the goal that it's flexible enough that different playstyles are available.
