New SunAge art and features revealed
Lighthouse Interactive and developer Vertex4 today released
new artwork from their upcoming old skool RTS "SunAge". The
update includes 12 new screenshots, three pieces of artwork
and two wallpapers to enhance your windows desktop.
Roman Pfneudl, CEO of Vertex 4: "The development of SunAge is
going as planned and the cooperation with Lighthouse is going
very smoothly. We are having great fun testing the latest
builds and enhancing the overall features. This month we
would like to reveal one of these outstanding SunAge
features. We call it "Indirect Intelligent Targeting" (IIT)
which means: each squad can select its preferable type of
target. Like e.g. tell all snipers to preferably take out all
Golgotha's (huge organic creatures that are indeed vulnerable
to sniper bullets). Pfneudl continues: "Combining this
feature with the more familiar "force fire" option, players
will have superior control over their units and the
battlefield".
