Let's Play Planitia!

With apologies to DeceasedCrab :)

After I published the second trailer of Planitia, I was asked by several people what the gameplay was going to be like. So I made this video gameplay example!

What you're seeing represents about thirteen months worth of work for me so far, all in my spare time. Planitia is my first 3D project and my first real-time strategy game. It's been a real learning experience.

There will be a playable demo of Planitia available by the end of January 2008, and the full game should be out by the end of June 2008. Planitia will be free. And, as always, the home of Planitia and all my other games is my website, Planitia is my free real-time strategy game based on the classic Populous and Powermonger games. You can find out more about it by going to:

I'm assuming the enemy village has their own god? If not then how do their villages expand when they can't flatten then land and what stops you from cutting off their path to you when they want to attack you?

Games looking great though, can't wait to try it!

@Lukeybabyy Yes, there are AI gods for singleplayer that you must fight. I'm still working on the game, but it will eventually be available for sale on my website.

its fun but terrain only raises but doesnt lower. I tried right clicking but it cancelled out of the spell?

[ViridianGames]

I've tried several versions of the "flatten" spell. Currently clicking and holding pulls the landscape to the appropriate height for a village. You can mousewheel up and down to actually raise and lower the land.

When can I try this? This lookes AWSOME!!!

[ViridianGames]

Thank you :) It's coming slower than I anticipated; I am currently working on the network play mode for Planitia and I'm hoping to finish that up by the end of September and release the game at the end of 2008 (at which point I'll have been working on it for two years, FAR longer than I anticipated when I started this project).
