Neon Marble Rust

Very interesting take on RTS. would recommend only if you're already somewhat experienced at RTS

SaiyanSC sent me! I enjoyed the game, I played long enough to get through two macro building challenges. Both of which were fairly tight! Worker micromanagement early is extremely important and manual building yields faster exponential growth. I liked that. The build tree is easy enough to understand, but there are a LOT of resources. Seriously, 7 I think. Some of the tutorials were definitely challenging which is awesome and I'm sure PvP is difficult as well. Overall I liked it and I think it has potential but some of the win conditions and macro mechanics are not super well explained. For example on the "Harvest" mission losing any cores means you auto-lose. There were a few hiccups like that. I would also suggest allowing drag select even when starting on mineral patches. That's pretty annoying. Cntrl-click select also seemed pretty wonky and I think cores/resource structures should allow a rally to mining. Since you're already incentivized to manually build, having to direct them to mine is a bit much. Overall this looks like a very high skill cap game with interesting mechanics. I enjoyed it and would recommend for RTS/Starcraft fans.

The game in general doesn't look bad although the visual aspect seems too generic to me, so to speak. I like RTS but this one would have to improve a lot to get people's attention. By the way, I don't know why the graphics temperature was set to 70 degrees, which makes me think that it is poorly optimized. I have played much more graphically powerful games and it doesn't reach those temperatures.

This game has great potential and is mechanically awesome. It reinvents many conventional aspects of "modern" RTS while feeling like an homage to conventional RTS. Pay close attention to how the race economics work. There is a tutorial and several "Practice" missions mean't to teach you aspects of the game. This culminates in an extremely fun and difficult survival mission reminiscent of "Vampire Survivors," which may give you hours of playtime in itself. You can ofc skip this and get right into PvP. Currently PvP is restricted to mirror match-ups (Neon vs Neon, etc), so I have a feeling the cross race match-ups are not refined yet, but the ground work is there for a truly great competitive RTS.

The core gameplay of the game is well done. The developer obviously has put a lot of work into the game, and has a lot of features RTS games need such as online play, replay system, and even a sandbox mode and other game modes. Gameplay was fun I liked the automation system the game has that allows you to auto produce resources and units. These are all great things that really make the game stand out. Some issues the game has is that the UI design is really really rough and still looks to be a WIP. I was finding it difficult to actually navigate around the menus. There is way too much UI, everything needs to be organized, streamlined, and have a more cohesive styling. This would do wonders for the game. There were still some default unity sliders I noticed that had no updated styling. The game graphics could also use some work, the terrain felt very much like a WIP to me, and could use an overhaul similar to the UI. Maybe the largest issue I had with the gameplay was nothing was straightforward. There are WAY too many resources to manage. And some resources are supposed to be converted into other resources, and it's not very clear how to do that. The game is overly complex, and is pulling in too many different directions. The game would be so much better imo if there was just 2 or 3 resources. The fact that there are 5 resources, and each race has their own 2 resources is way too much. This game would be unusable to an average person that is just trying out the game. I want to see this game succeed, and for that to happen I think it needs cleaner UI, cleaner and improved graphics, and to simplify the resources. I want to see way less buildings whos purpose is to convert x resource to y resource, and more tech for units, upgrades, or something else. The actual gameplay way very smooth. Selecting units, moving them, attack-moving, etc. all worked as expected (although I noticed sometimes units would start to move away from a battle if they couldn't reach a target, similar to SC:BW dragoons). Overall this is a very well done project, and the fact that it is made by a single person is actually amazing. Great job!

This game is fun, 9/10. It could improve a lot. The UI needs a bit more work, but overall it's alright. Players could get confused with the way of building things. I actually had a bit of confusion trying to find the buildings. Gameplay-wise, it's really fun. I enjoyed the game, especially the mode "Survivors." Keep it up, devs! Good work!
