Army of Earth

Cool looking indie project...

http://www.armyofearth.com/

Just entered open beta. Download and play (online only apparently).

Some of the structures remind me of Tau Ceti.

I'll pass as I'm not into online too much. The gfx do look quite refreshing though.

I thought it looked graphically poor - compared to my own stuff.

compared to other peoples stuff you mean ;)

im sure if you were offered a chance to visit pixar you'd forklift their render farms onto an artic lorry

Graphics look pretty amaturish to me. It'd put me off playing, I think.

There is a contrast between the landscapes (not bad) and the buildings (I assume that's what they are) which look... terrible. Not even terrible in an artistic, this is meant to look terrible but good terrible, just terrible.

Thought I was the only one who ever played that game.

I used to love Tau Ceti, never really understood it, but though it was very cool.

I loved all of Pete Cooke's game.
