I can't wait! ...well, I can But I don't *want* to.

An RTS/FPS is a hard mix-up to nail. Good luck Martin! I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on it

Great job, Martin! You have shown incredible talent, honesty, and bravery by pursuing your dreams. I commend Bohemia Interactive for supporting projects like yours. Regardless of the outcome, pursuing one's passion is a noble endeavor. I am excited to play Silica with my friends and experience the fruits of your hard work. Keep chasing your dreams and inspiring others to do the same.

I can't wait to get playing this. Kudos Martin for chasing your dream.

It's such a good thing to see the RTS genre be revived in recent years largely due to efforts made by indie studios and independent developers like Martin. Kudos to him and to Bohemia Interactive for supporting projects like these. Wishlisted and eagerly awaiting early access 👍

seeing that snippet of code for the AI logic was super interesting! i work in web development and have always loved games, but it's cool seeing how much overlap there is. really excited for the game.

My brother and I have been looking for some new RTS's to play, this and tempest rising are on our highest priority list so far.

Excited for this to come out to early access! Can't wait to play it.

Hell, it's about time. Congratulations on having the right dream Martin :)

Definitely makes me think of Battlezone! :)

I'm so excited for this game to come out!! What a brilliant hybridized idea.

Martin is a beast! 😎 If there's anything we can do for ya, please let us know! I am looking forward to having a chance to make mods and hype the community up :D

Co-op control is going to be huge fun. Love the passion. I don't usually get excited for games but this one has me on the edge of my seat lol

This looks amazing, really looking forward to getting it! I'm also Australian and Slovak dual citizen, I can hear you have a kind of "hybrid" accent :)

Great backstory! Was addicted to original Command & Conquer seems like in ancient times. First thing seen in a while has me contemplating.

I just discovered this game today and I must say I'm very excited to see how it turns out! it would be sick if there was a game mode where the captain of the army was playing in RTS cam, controlling AI units and making buildings and such, and the army would have "hero units" which are controller by the players in FPS game mode. there are so many untapped potentials in an RTS&FPS game it's crazy. I will try my best to follow the development of this project, best of luck Martin!

Extremely inspirational hearing how passionate he is about this project.

Wow, this game came out of no where to me, and it's instantly the most promissing and most anticipating for the near future for me.

Wow, what an excellent and honest video Martin! Good luck to you and BI with this!

This is a very exciting game! Thanks for taking the RTS/FPS genre seriously!

What a great video to hear about the game's backstory, I've only recently heard about Silica but I am very excited by the RTS and FPS mix that we can expect in this game.

That's a crazy amount of work, looking forward to playing it!

This is giving me some serious battlezone vibes. One of my all time favorite franchises, I didnt think id see another game like it again. IM beyond excited for this. Well done mate!

Great video, awesome hearing from you on the work you put into this project and making it become a reality. I can't wait to jump in!

Ive been waiting for a game like this for quite some time. Thank you for making this happen, bud.

Looks amazing, hopefully the gameplay is as good as it looks!

3:55 AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 - honest unfiltered feedback comes natural to us Aussies. Wishing you great success with this new release.

My friend and I are can't wait to play Silica. I hope everything goes well Martin.

man you seem like a great guy. cant wait to give this game a play. seems like a labour of love

Those 3 inspiration elements really shows and that's good. Some serious talent behind this, I am really looking forward to it.

Super excited for this! I love FPS, I love RTS, I love the hybrids. Seeing the trailer and this video gives me very fond, nostalgic memories from C&C Renegade in Multiplayer. I've been super fascinated with this genre mix ever since, I've played Executive Assault 1 and 2 (though didn't like it very much), Natural Selection 2 (fantastic, Empires mod for Source engine (fantastic), Call to Arms - Gates of Hell (pretty good too), Cepheus Protocol (very junky but cool idea) and even the unfortunate Pantropy. I am a huge fan of Mount & Blade too as it gives you the detail and depth of building your own character and fighting in battles yourself which is fun, but also the higher level strategizing on the campaign and battlefield - what an amazing blend. What I mean to say is - this is a space that I have been looking for for a long time and your game answers my wishes. I'm really looking forward to it! This may end up being the first early access game where I actively contribute with feedback - I really want to see you succeed.

Very Excited for this game!!! I have 2000 hrs in Natural Selection 2 and StarCraft 2, so this is right up my alley! I will 100% convince all 7 of my gamer friends to get this game :D

Downloaded it today after watching some youtubers play,love what your doing and where your going,love the big maps.

Ive only sunk a couple hours into it now but I am totally in love with it. Hope the game eventually maximizes its potential. Keep up the great work and congrats on being able to work on your dream!

Can’t believe how far this game has come! I love everything about this game. I can’t wait to see what else is planned and I will be supporting this with any and everything I can! Thank you so much for this amazing game!

Super impressive - especially for a single developer. He couldn't have a better support team than the BIS incubator. Good decision and best of luck for Silica.

Your awesome Martin! I hope you become one of the few who can make this genre shine.

great idea, sound execution, pure fun and really glad you pursued the concept and stuck with it, it is a joy to play nothing but smiles - I play commander alot but in love with arena lol never would have guessed oh love the bugs they are absolutely legit to play they have focus great great job

I’ve wanted this exact game from the moment I played Battlezone II back in the day. I don’t know if it inspired this project in any way, but there’s definitely a community of us out here who always wanted this game!

Must have! ^^ looking foward to this one.

You did a great job love the game I cant stop playing it

Love this idea for a game, the only thing I think this game NEEDS to atleast keep it alive is multiple factions for the races. Giving diversity to your factions gives a lot of options, opportunities and experiences to both players and the devs.

Loving it so Far Great job!!

Great job, I am looking forward to playing silica

It's already such a great game, 5 months later, please keep up the good work, my brother and I have huge hopes for it!! 😁👍

Looks interesting. The missile launcher vehicle being just an enlargened Stryker with a truck cabin is hilarious though. :D

Good luck, you've got me onboard. Lead on! :)

This game is amazing so far! Just the early access has so much attention to detail.

I'll be getting this day one, looking forward to it!

I’ve played a couple hours and it gives me such a starship troopers vibe and I’ve had such a blast! I will admit though, the RTS aspect caught me off guard cause I didn’t know what unit did what and how to build my base until watching your other videos. Other than that, FANTASTIC work so far and I hope it continues to grow!!!

Really can't wait. Looks fantastic :)

Inspiring! I wish I could accomplish such a well crafted project. I wish you the best with your title. 🙌🏾

I'm glad I decided to actually give this a look. My best friend and I often struggle to find games we both want to play. I love playing as individuals on the ground while he loves commanding large forces - looks like this fits the bill!

hats off you delivered what triple A games was unable to do or they didn't care BRAVO ty for a beautiful game

I havent been this hyped for a game in so long.

Great idea and the early access makes a lot of fun! Please more! ❤

This game has some solid bones. I can't wait for more content

lets go

Just bought the game today and the prologue is amazing! also the game design and mechanics are amazing! I am so curious about the Air combat gameplay. I imagine playing with my hotas! Great game and very promissing future ahead! " The Balterium must flow! " :)

I really hope this comes to consoles. Seems really fun

Fantastic news! My best days of gaming were multiplaying Battle Zone. This is so needed today as a unique combination of gameplay unlike so many. Much support my friend, cannot wait!! Did I miss the expected release date for Early Access?

Cannot wait for this to come out!

Let´s Go ..... it looks a Very Interesting Project .

Another early access game. I will wait for the finished product. All the best to the team.

This is very exciting!

This is amazing!

Martin this game looks so fantastic I am very excited to play it! I do hope It takes off and people love it so that maybe you can be given a bigger team and more resources in the future and we might get to see that original vision, ever since playing the online game ERIDANI as a kid I've been wanting a fps/strategy game that allows you to conquer multiple planets and fight against enemies in large scale galactic war. I wish you all the best!

awesome game you are making brother thank you for this game

Good job Martin !

Can’t wait for release. 🎉

This looks so good

When all the core game is done, I'd really enjoy some sort of campaign in the fashion of starcraft, played coop with friends. I'm pretty sure that could be a great feature for the game itself.

Thanks martins family

Can’t wait to play this with my cousins on LAN!

honestly bohemia should take a chance on this game and send some devs over to help martin. Game can be something great with more people working on it

I've bought the game in early access. It has a lot of potential. The Aliens are why I got the game and they are by far the best. Still needs work like the AI pathing and UI ping changes which will come, so I'm anticipating the updates

This reminds me a lot of those Starship Troopers mods for Arma/Squad.

The multiplayer model fits Arma communities quite well.

good luck.buena suerte te lo mereces.

Actually looks really good. Well done

have you consider adding City management element and a strategy map to this game? Building a biodome in a desert planet and protecting it so it can generate manpower resources for your army can be quite challenging and interesting

Love it, mate; keep it up Martin. I can see that you have put so much into this, and I can't wait to steam this baby and get the boys together. (apart from a WW2 or modern version of this ) this is my dream game. any plans for First Person Vehicles? DanegerousDB

This looks like a great successor to natural selection 2.

I humbly and respectfully salute you sir

veo una asombrosa polimerización de halo wars, command and conquer renegade, odst capsulas literal, future cop, mass efect y mas y me gusta demasiado la extraña combinacion y el apartado visual! uff pinta que sera un juegaso.

Wow, just found it and saw that it'll be released today! Wishing you all the best for the project and much nice feedback! BTW: If you need someone to contribute a few space OSTs for the game just let me know where I can send them (contact mail for example)! I made a few pieces for indie projects and I would love to make something for free for the game!

BING CHILLING

Thankyou for Making this, ive been wanting something like this since CnC Renegade, any chance of mechs and giant bugs?

great game

Impressive work overall. You are very talented and ambitious, I'm glad you decide to shrink down the game to a single planet. Anything else would have been a waste imo.

Huge respect for all the hard work you put in to this.

This is awesome, also ARMA 4 should take place in the silica universe ;)

I hope to follow in your footsteps when I amass enough savings to quit my project funding job and try make something like this full time

4:35 😍😍Starcraft , um dos primeiros jogos que joguei quando criança, poder entrar e ter a visão do campo de batalha sempre foi um sonho, obrigado! adoraria ver uma parceria, e tornar esse jogo 100% fiel a Starcraft , protoss units virão em novas atualizações?????🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

This was a great look at the man behind a very promising game. Resonated with everything you said here. Best of luck.

Love the style....Would be cool to see a Renegade x firestorm mod. 😍😍😍

how many people can play on each side in strategy mode? I wonder if its possible to do something like 50v50

YeeeeeAAA boi!

You can just take my money now.
