Suggestion for the Public Demo

[stepout]

 

Tl;dr  I’m sure this has been brought up before but can we get the Soldier Equipment screen in the combat demo, bruhs?

 

I’m fairly new to Xenonauts, been bouncing between it and the combat demo for Xenonauts 2 lately.  I know Goldhawk is planning a Kickstarter at some point this year and I just wanted to talk about the planned state of the combat demo for when the Kickstarter goes live.

 

The only game I’ve played similar to Xenonauts is X-COM 2012, which I enjoyed a lot.  When I played Xenonauts I was surprised by how stat-heavy it was and how fascinating Time Units are.  And the fact that there is an infinite amount of normal items to equip my party with… once I realized that I was like why the hell haven’t I been playing this game since forever ago? SO awesome.  My favorite two screens in the strategy layer are the Barracks screen (I love being able to sort the soldiers by their stats) and of course the Soldier Equipment screen.  

 

Is it possible to get something like the Soldier Equipment screen in the demo before the Kickstarter?  I feel like it would really highlight the badass RPG underbelly of the game (if you had all of the infinite starting items and tooltips for all the stats and guns and all that fun stuff).

 

Keep in mind I may be writing this post for my own selfish reasons.  It’s hard for me to tell actually, probably 50/50.  But IF it’s possible AND not too much work it MAY be worth it for the Kickstarter.  Just a thought, either way I can’t wait to support you guys once the Kickstarter does drop!

Hey - thanks for the suggestion. If all goes to plan we'll include a section of of the strategy layer in the Kickstarter demo, so that will include the soldier equipment screen too
