Wow this looks so great. I mean as soon as you get to see the planet from a far away zoom, I'm just mind blown even though I have been following this since day 1 of the KS and I knew what to expect.
I just can't wait :).

Huge props for supporting offline/private server functionality and also supporting the mod community. Also love the way the UI moves off screen when nothing is selected, keeps it clean. This is turning into a must buy. Keep up the good work!

This is so amazing the way you guys are letting people be part of the dev process. Thanks for keeping all of us backers in the loop.

Thats also a extremly powerfull feature for a replay and casting.

Especially multiplayer games, like 2v2, the ability to "split" the screen is so powerfull, it simply doesnt work jumping around with the view, but watching all bases at the same time, and multiple important situations, that is genius.

I am so glad I pre ordered / made a pledge. This looks great and I know it will be epic. Remember this when ever a Dev blames failing game sales on piracy. This is a great example of what can be accomplished when you treat your customer base with respect, intelligence and humanity!

whover played original TA and the TA: Spring (now just Spring Engine) ... is happy to see the PA shaping nicely up

[Seattleandrew]

Great update :-) you guys have been doing great work. The video posts are great because the process is so fun to watch and don't worry about sending the wrong impression about art assets, I think the point is to get the intention across if what you want to do with the game.

[perfectsanity]

so much more complete than i was expecting

[SomeDude]

First one of the best Rts games: Total Annihilation and now THIS?! U GUYS ARE AWESOME

[Baleur]

Are you KIDDING me?
This is pre-alpha yet it still looks awesome as

Planetside 2, and now this.
This is the new way to develop games. WITH your fans, not hiding from them.
Love it. Love it.

[AMKalmar]

That replay system is great. Good work gentlemen!

[ipariszalonna]

It's awesome to see the game taking shape. Keep up the amazing job.

[Sorain]

very much a fan of the replay system. Achron showed it could be done and to see it on a HUGE scale here is exciting.

[AbbreviatedReviews]

This looks really great so far. I'm really happy I backed it.

[majicebe]

Hell yes. Had no idea they'd be hitting Alpha that soon. Impressive work, guys.

They have explained in earlier livecasts that the commanders will have several customization options. changing the color is the least of the setup options they have considered. Each player will have a lot of room for customization of their commander both in weapon loadouts and visual aspects like 2 legs, 4 legs or maybe even treads for mobility.

[Kahdir]

Graphics and animation are fantastic! Pre-Alpha or not, I can't wait!

[SpawnXe]

i LOVE the art style... game is already looking great guys, so glad i backed this!!

[FPilotArcile]

I love how you used the cursors and nanolathe from Total Annihilation.
