64 bit - The Future of PA and Titans
Hello Commanders,

Today marks the six year anniversary of the Planetary Annihilation Kickstarter, where 44,162 backers helped breathe life into the concept of a next-generation RTS, where thousands of units would clash across multiple worlds, unleashing interplanetary destruction.

It's been a long road and we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who backed, supported or just played Planetary Annihilation over the past six years; we couldn’t have done it without you!

The incredibly sexy technical work continues behind the scenes. After the next major update we will be focusing on 64-bit operating systems as we continue to modernise Planetary Annihilation. If you're part of the 2% still on 32-bit Windows now would be a good time to upgrade so you can fully reap the benefits of the changes we’re making.

Similar to Valve, Blizzard, Nvidia and many other game developers, this modernisation necessitates saying goodbye to some unsupported, end-of-life operating systems like Windows Vista, and older macOS / Linux releases. We'll confirm the details prior to our modern build going live and plan to make unsupported older builds which will continue to work in offline mode available to anyone who cannot upgrade.

We have also performed a much needed refresh of our community rules and guidelines[planetaryannihilation.com], after all we don’t want our little pocket of humanity to fall into discord and be overthrown by the Machine Liberation Army. There’s even a tl;dr version, because we know you want to be playing PA not reading rules. These apply to all aspects of PA: lobby names, in-game chat, official forums[forums.planetaryannihilation.com] and the official Planetary Annihilation Discord server[discord.gg] which is now live.

Please feel free to use the official Planetary Annihilation Discord server[discord.gg] to coordinate games, discuss strategies, seek out help with modding, and anything else PA related. We also hear there’s more to life than PA, and while we’re not sure we believe that, we have created an off-topic channel just in case.

See you in Discord: https://discord.gg/C3GBXbg

For all their similarities, PA and SUPCOM are pretty different games. I'm not a fan of SUPCOM's pacing myself.

I would love love love a SupCom III when Chris Taylor gets his sh*t together and does the right thing but i would not like PA & SC to become the same game.
SC imho i see as the DNA for PA which has then evolved beyond the 'traditional' RTS begginings, what can it evolve into if we get PAII at some point, exciting stuff :)
More than happy PA is getting some love now though, better performance for certain.

My only commment is the game is 6 years old and still full price. I want to recommend it to a few friends but I think that the game is too expensive for it's age. It is a fun game and all but I don't know if it is still worth 40 dollars now days.

Then recommend that they pick it up during a sale. Games don’t get cheaper over time and I can’t say that I recall a time that they ever have. Doubly so when Steam has changed the way the market operates with its sales.

PA has been on so many sales over the past few years, a little patience will go a long ways. :)

Looking forward to seeing the engine go x64, and hoping that'll mean larger planets and battles, maybe even some terrain changes rather than making everything platforms. I'd like to see more + and - terrain changes, and kinda like TA, make that terrain have some usefulness to unit's views and ranges, etc.

That would be really awesome

Terrain was sold heavily with TA, but as an avid player of the game I recall it had two uses: firstly it controlled how useful missile units were going to be; second you stuck your Big Bertha on a hill to give it a slight range boost. It wasn't the huge strategic element some people remember it to be, I think you're buying a little too much into the marketing material of the time.

If anything I worry about terrain far more in PA because of the low unit health. Units don't survive a bad engagement position long enough to overcome it. Ensuring proper engagement around corners or ramps can be vital.
