Happy New Year!
A quick update for everyone. We are working on a major update, but in the meantime here’s some teasers of what we’re working on.
Many of you may have already seen them, but if not, we’ve released some early concept images of the desert biome, as well as a few renders designed to show scale of various units against the terrain. These are still conceptual works, not to be mistaken for final assets that will never change. If you are a Kickstarter/Paypal backer or have pre-ordered, you can gain early access to images like this in the future by joining us on the forums using the UberNet account you registered with. You can find them at http://forums.uberent.com

More coming very soon, but we wanted to show you some of the awesome conceptual work going through the art pipeline.
Thanks again for all your support!

Curious question, as I can't recall if we've filled out any surveys for this one yet, I just moved, are we going to be able to adjust our delivery addresses?
Creator Keith C on January 25
I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait!
Creator Rad on January 25
Cool concept art!
It is exactly what I hope for: Not too much terrain fanciness so the units remain extremely visible, and not too many polygons and sfx and silliness so the most epic battles will run at decent FPS with no problems in path finding and no compromises on weapon trajectory collision detections.
Very fancy terrain should be saved for rarity planets or left to mods entirely.
Creator Nigel Payne on January 25
wow, the flat style looks great! and the commanders being bigger than the other units is great. he was uneasy to find amongst other units on TA sometimes. looking forward to seing more
Creator Brad Groux on January 24
LOVE the art style!
Creator MrTripleCC on January 24
I would love the tanks to be bigger. i personally think they are too small compared with the basic infantry
Creator rkfg on January 24
I'd say, don't let there be any rushed decisions and major flaws. If the game is constantly getting better, I'm sure everyone would wait to get the polished product.
Creator Revan on January 24
Need more Monkeylord....
AKA Giant Spider robot with a giant laser on its back..
Creator saodhar on January 24
So incredibly cool! :) Please don't let there be any release delays!
Creator Andy on January 24
Pure freaking awesome, I am blinded by your awesomeness !
Creator Nelson Carter, Negotiator on January 24
This is looking GREAT... I cant wait...
This game is going to be f****ing awesome :)
Creator Hunter Rushing Johnson on January 23
Looks great guys! Can't wait to play this game!
Creator B1-66ERDK on January 23
Looks amazing!!
Creator Alexandr Sirotkin on January 23
Looks good!
I don't like that the bigger robot units look very similar. Too much blocky biped for my liking.
Creator Shen Yuechen on January 23
Awesome!
Creator Cooper Lee on January 23
This is awesome!
Creator James Fitzwater on January 23
Wow, very cool!
Creator Russ on January 23
This is looking amazing, can't wait to see what else is in the works. You guys are worth every cent put into this and more.
Creator René Morten Jensen on January 23
is this for REAL?!? Oh my dear god.
Wow, i really love how this has turned out, this is pretty amazing :D this style is well beyond what i ever imagined.
Yeah it has a very Dune ish feel, "not that is bad because its not"
Creator Agenttrap on January 23
Interesting...
Creator Roberto Zaragoza Gascón on January 23
That looks incredibly awesome. I have a question, though, will we be able to zoom enough to see the detail in our units and structures?
Creator adder on January 23
I love the artwork. Even though I though desert would be boring, the combination of simple (shading, ground color palette) and complex (details, cracks) has an amazing impact. Thanks for the update, keep up the good work!
Creator exterm on January 23
I love the art style. Still a little concerned about gameplay on multiple planets at once, but I gess the uber guys will make it work.
Also, everybody should take a look at the currently running kickstarter by gas powered games, the company behind supreme commander and where many of the uber guys come from.

Creator boolybooly on January 23
cool, is it just me? maybe I was a gerbil in a past life but I want to dig down into the crevass and make a secret base down there.
it all looks so rocky and barren and forbidding, reminds me of Dune2000, my first ever RTS ... I love it, when can I blow it up?
Creator Joren on January 23
Perfect. I love it. I hope you barely change from this concept.
Creator Matthew Theriot on January 23
Thanks for the update! Great to see the progress you guys are making, that already looks completely awesome.
Creator rkfg on January 23
Spectacular! Just a little bit cartoonish as it expected to be but the quality and small details are amazing. Units are easily distinguishable as well as buildings. Contrast is fine, too. Can't wait for some ingame videos (or at least the editor).
Creator Colin Clausen on January 23
Those Units beautify my desktop at work since a week or so. Really great, cant wait to get more of this.
Creator Kyle Hall on January 23
I just absolutely love this art style especially the units and buildings!
Creator Eric Valenzuela on January 23
Looks amazing!
I haven't been excited for an RTS in a long time!
Creator Jared Woodruff on January 23
Keep up the good work guys! :)
Creator Dan. L. on January 23
Awesome, I have already the (awesome) desert biomes. But the units are looking fantastic too !
I love that they really ressemble the trailer.
I can't wait to see what the "big update" is about :).
