Perspective VS Isometric RTS 🎥 Isometric has a distinct charm to it, but also makes me feel disoriented, while perspective makes me feel like I have more control. Both look great IMO #RTS #IndieGame #IndieDev #Godot

haha 🤣 We already are working on an awesome map editor that will allow you to create your own missions, campaigns, skirmish maps, and even custom objects! And noted on the AI 📝 I do the same thing lol

What do you guys think about the isometric view? #IndieGame #RTS #IndieDev

50 seconds of raw combat from my indie game. It's not perfect, but neither am I #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #RTS

I would agree but with saying that its probably impossible to do 4+ with a small indie team. Incredibly difficult to balance

Smitty @smittygames.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

My game (STEEL COMMAND) is very much a C&C/Starcraft inspired RTS

How many factions should an indie RTS have? Let me know in the comments ⬇️ #IndieGame #RTS #IndieDev

RTS Soundtrack 🎶 The artist for STEEL COMMAND has been straight COOKIN. Here is a snippet of one of the 'explore' 'tracks. This is probably my favorite piece by him so far. #RTS #IndieGame #SteelCommand

Indie Dev Origin Story I'm trying to open myself up to the community a bit more and allow people to see the person behind the game. I hope you enjoy! Ask anything in the comments 🙂 Steel Command designer/3D artist: @syphotic.bsky.social #IndieGames #RTS #IndieDev #GameDev

Perfect RTS Unit Balancing ⚖️ As Thanos said I think: "Perfectly balanced, as all RTS's should be" #IndieGame #Gaming #IndeDev #GameDev

Thanks! Best of luck on your project. At a high level, I have 'LockstepManager' singleton that all actions run through that need to be synced to every peer. Im also using a server-authoritative model, so the server tells the clients what 'tick' to perform each action on. Happy to chat more in DM

I can't wait to share more soon, but the multiplayer network (deterministic lockstep) is working with the new navigation system. (flowfields + avoidance) #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot #RTS

Smitty @smittygames.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Right now anything under 25 degree slope will be considered traverse-able. I still need to add a step height for the units, because they wont be able to ride over a pebble at this time haha

I made a little obstacle course to test the new navigation system. I'm happy with it 👌 #RTS #SteelCommand #IndieGame #Godot #GameDev

Hows custom RTS navigation using flowfields going you ask? 😅 #RTS #IndieDev #Godot #GameDev

That does make me feel a bit better TBH hahaha

Ah, I see. Makes sense 💯 Thanks!

Someone else recently recommended to use the expand flag, which I have only done very minimally. So I'll be sure to dive into that more. Thanks for showing me an example!

I did NOT know this. Wow. I feel like such a noob! Thanks Bo 🫡
