A interesing fact about irl bugs regarding Queens bugs is that they have a *way* longer livespan than the other members of the colony , a Queen thermite can live between 20-40 years ! , So considering that i don't think is far fetched to think that the Queen bug in Silica could be many hundreds (or even thousands) years old
I find it funny that the indigenous organisms of this planet are referred to as "aliens" when technically, the Humans would be the aliens... no? lol game looks amazing btw, very impressive 🙂
Well, we are aliens for the planet; but anything from another planet is an alien. Doesn't matter if it's on our planet or we're on theirs, it's still alien to us
One very important secret you didn't mention is if you are a human in the goliath, walk backwards towards the enemy base. The face takes bonus damage and though slightly slower than rolling, the face is the goliaths weakpoint.
Would love fast runner aliens with scything claws. Something like the "runner" alien, zergling, or hormagaunt. Running around fast af with long jumps as some sort of quick raptor creature would be an absolute blast. If it had lower hp, but spawned in groups to incentivize swarming them in mass numbers. That would be epic!
I'm definitely looking forwards to the new alien units. I'd also like to see much larger and more expansive alien structures. I'm thinking Tyranid-esque capillary towers.
but what would it do? I don't see an endgame structure for aliens being a nuke considering they're animals. maybe full map vision or the ability to place structures without being near nodes?
@@ridleydidnothingwrong Dunno, I was thinking more "rule of cool" before function, but maybe just take it straight from 40k and have it be an endgame resource generator for the aliens. Would also make it a priority target for the human side.
@@ridleydidnothingwrong depends on the "diet" and how their bodies react to it. Biological "turrets" that shoot corrosive streams of stomach acid, explosive fuel bombs, hardened excrement, devs can go crazy with the biological horror of insect enemies and structures. Could make a mobile base out of a slow moving armored insect that has grunts and other small "infantry" units coming out of its armor gaps with heavier units as security
@@grimreminder5038 also the ecballium elaterium is a plant which has a fruit that starts to accumulate gases as it grows, once is mature a slight touch will cause the fruit to break off of the stem and get propulsed trough the air due to the accumulated gases inside the fruit , dispersing the seeds in the process (since the seeds gets expulsed trough the same hole the gases escapes , considering that i do think the aliens could have a sort of a "missile" which works in a similar way thought this one explodes once it touches the ground or any other structure
So the unused units are not cut content but rather the still work in progress that may come soon? Like those Halo content stuff that may be into the final game? When they decided to?
I wonder what flyers the aliens will get. They'd have to at least have a cheap and cost effective swarm like unit to counter the many human aircraft that you have shown before.
I do wonder also, i have noticed the Human Aircraft are quite fragile, and the aliens have quite quick firing and lock on ranged attacks, in a stream with the Dev, he showed off how easily the AI Aliens were able to swat Aircraft out the sky, soo the Aliens may rely on more Anti Air, then Air units themselves, Time will tell though!
@@KingZealotTactics Well Aircraft come out in 1-3 Months. This'll definitely help with Balance, as well developed humans can easily take out the Biggest Alien/Crab units with railtanks and Aliens can easily nestle themselves up on building tops so nobody can get to them.
crabs are good for scouting, they are also perfect for base raids, keep them hidden in a group of 200+ and when the enemy starts to move army towards you, hit them with crabs when they are gone
With all the units and new things coming for the humans and aliens. It would be awesome for the “Centuri” to be different from the Sol humans. Acting in a new like the Protos. Idk 🤷♂️ I’m just throwing ideas. I’m sure the developer has it all under control. If not- I guess we can fed him to the Queen 😜👍 just kidding. Would never do that! Where would I get an epic game like this from? 👍 #silicabestgame2023
Apparently they will be more low tech compared to Sol. Makes sense because they had to colonize Proxima Centauri and didn't have the resources yet to develop the newest technologies.
Impaler makes no sense. It's got giant pinsers on it's tail, and then... fires... projectiles? Also, it has NO COOLDOWN? and NO RELOAD? They better fix that.
Dont need to lol, its projectile are pretty weak and they drop really fast. +you cant really zoom to me more precise. At best its a very close range projectile unit. Human just shoot your tail and you die so yeah… The AI does a great job using it tho, with its laser vision 😂
you do hahaha, she is pretty much a complete unit, only what she does, isn't ready, being the mobile commander unit for aliens, docking with the nest ect.
That "Queen" needs a major rework, it moves far too slow to be able to found new bases and you'd never risk it if it's a kill-&-win unit. Maybe make it tunnel when moving.
Some units are far to similar and should just be an upgrade essentially. (The basic crab unit is a major offender), also dont lbow if it already exist but human vs human or alien vs alien matches woukd be cool af.
No difficulty settings yet, but you can always take control of them to Start with, build 3 refineries, will get their economy going allowing them to produce more units, Aliens unfortunately would require heavy management, another region you may be able to play with is NA West, give that a go

if they're like ants maybe there's multiple hives with multiple bugs. maybe a bug vs bug mode?
@@ridleydidnothingwrong that would be interesing

cant wait for the aliens to get more fleshed out!!!
as an alien faction lover i can say this is AMAZING
I’m impressed with content release. I just subscribed earlier today.
So the unused units are not cut content but rather the still work in progress that may come soon?

This game is far too early in it's development for me but i sure hope this game turns out well, it's off to a good start.
It's fun even when early in Development.
@@Spino-hx2mr Oh i'm sure it is but to me i prefer a bit more content and features. It's gonna be a great game.

Congratulations Lycan! You reached 1.02k subscribers!
Thank youuuuuu! Will be announcing something quite soon 👀
this is a really good use for protofactor inc aliens since we can play as them and I really like playable creatures
The game is so good looking already especially given that it's in the early stages of development! The units look good and the graphics are great
Just found this game a few days ago. A gem
Seen that same kraken model for arch. Pretty funny how that model keeps getting used
crabs are good for scouting, they are also perfect for base raids, keep them hidden in a group of 200+ and when the enemy starts to move army towards you, hit them with crabs when they are gone
Congrats on 1000 subs🎉🎉🎉
Bro that harvester looks SO MUCH better and more practical than that funky ass new one.
The Harvester is as dumb as the rocks it Harvests it seems , the pathfinding is horrible
This is giving me Natural Selection vibes.

Wow, the spiritual successor to Battlezone 2
I think queen more medium attack instead 2 melee attack and limit zone in base.
imagine, this is what StarCraft Ghosts pvp was going to be....
Hey do you know if i can play with a controller in FPS mode atleast?
thank u
Perhaps next time test damage on the opposing faction?
I wonder if they will add acid sucuide units :P
So it's a game where you play xenos and you kill humans ? HERESY !

can we use the aircraft yet or is it still in work?
Do I detect a fellow West Country lad?
When you say at 11:39 the queen has her own audio? What audio effects does she have?
you do hahaha, she is pretty much a complete unit, only what she does, isn't ready, being the mobile commander unit for aliens, docking with the nest ect.
@@LycanMB So she has audio already??
Are you in Brizzy ? We're just outside the site of a well known festival.
@@TheSilentStar She has most of her audio yeh, attack, walk, getting hurt, death audios, im from Cornwall, towards St Ives!
I have a question, how many units can you build?
Infinite at the moment, there is no Pop Limit
Are you feeling alright lycan? Your voice sounded a little raspy
2am brain in full motion haha
That "Queen" needs a major rework, it moves far too slow to be able to found new bases and you'd never risk it if it's a kill-&-win unit.
Maybe make it tunnel when moving.
Wait a minute. Isn't the Queen the same one as was used in Dream World trailer?
Most likely, without looking, the Queen is an asset from the unity store
Some units are far to similar and should just be an upgrade essentially. (The basic crab unit is a major offender), also dont lbow if it already exist but human vs human or alien vs alien matches woukd be cool af.
They do have Human vs Human, but an Alien vs Alien would be pretty neat
@@manicoasis4200 yee that comment was a few hours before I got the game, alien v alien would be glorious
I think the title is meant to be every alien unit?
Yeh i changed it haha its 2am here, my brain is gone 😅
Asset flip. Seen these models sold on every 3d website avalible.
I would compare the crab witch the star craft 2 rouch
hii can u tell me how can we make ai harder...cause i win every map...and since no asian servers i lag too much in online
No difficulty settings yet, but you can always take control of them to Start with, build 3 refineries, will get their economy going allowing them to produce more units,
Aliens unfortunately would require heavy management, another region you may be able to play with is NA West, give that a go
Id change the Queen design honestly... octopus style doesn't suit the desert atmosphere
Dang, old harvester looked better, imo.
Not that land ammonite again
Old harvester looks wayyyy fucking cooler
This is probably what that missile will function in game.
