Attention, Drone Commanders!

The Developer is happy to announce that a playable Alpha will be released within the next 5-10 days.

The Alpha will include:

* A small playable campaign/mission, with RPG and RTS battles, Visual Novel sections, romance/intimacy and a rough idea of how the different parts of Drone Commander fit together.

* The map editor, so you can create your own maps. The Developer is looking at allowing maps to be saved, uploaded and shared with each other.

* The Forge Breaker, a mode in which you must destroy enemy bases crawling with enemies within a time limit.

This is still very much an Alpha, so expect bugs, rough tiles, unfinished elements and some technical limitations. Windows loading times may also be fairly slow at first because everything hasn’t been optimised into spritesheets, and you’ll currently need a resolution of at least 1500 pixels wide.

The Alpha has been tested in the meantime though, and it is playable.

The Developer will initially release it to a smaller group of Patreons who are particularly interested in testing early builds and understand that things may break. If you’re interested, please read the following before committing:

Roll out conditions:

·         ALL PATREONS will get access (you can sign up for free, read all items first, please!).

·         But first, there will be a phase roll out (5, 10, 20, 40, ALL).

·         How fast it goes to ALL, depends on how many critical fixes are needed.

·         Only paying (or paid in the past Patreons eligible), HOWEVER..

·         Those who stated they don't have money but supported a long time will get access. The Developer is willing to considers other exceptions too.

What's Included:

·         RPG Battle

·         RTS Battle

·         Visual Novel section

·         Forge Breaker (RPG battle free play for you)

·         Map Editor

·         Cards Slideshow

·         COOL SECRET

·         COOL SECRET 2

What's Not Included:

·         Controller Support (later build will include it)

·         Full Screen (later build will include it)

It all comes together to be a short version of the 3-hour showcase you saw on YouTube (estimated gameplay time: 30 minutes), a fully playable fun increment that scratches all the itches.
