I know I've said before that Real time strategy really isn't my thing, but this is looking really awesome. I'm actually looking forward to playing this when it comes out. Great job guys! =)

Here's the last screenshot before the alpha release.  Now I'm going to spend my time correcting some bugs.

Hot keys have been implemented.  In this menu, I have not pressed Enter, not once.

Nice job Hot Dog.

When I was on vacation I saw this and thought of SAD.  It's a WWI British plane.

I hope you enjoyed your vacation...did you?

I did.  It was a lot of fun, but it's also great to be back home.

Buildings can no longer be built on top of each other.  In addition, they cannot be built on top of solid objects or "space."

There are a couple of things to fix, however.  First of all, there are some tiles that I mistakenly marked as "collidable," as well as some tiles I didn't mark as "collidable."  In addition, I need to write code to allow a refinery to be built on top of only belthium crystals.  I will write that code when I implement recieving income.

Here's the menu allowing you to buy ships in groups, although it doesn't do anything yet.  The hotkeys for this menu are the soft keys.  This menu will NOT display if you are buying a Scouter.

The dollar sign allows you to buy a single ship.  The plus sign allows you to add a ship to your group.  So if I was currently using 2 Degrusers, pressing + would allow me to use 3.  The minus sign button takes away a ship from the group.  The dollar sign / arrow allows you to buy the maximum amount of the type of ship possible.  The check mark is the "done" button.



Difficulties have arisen that make it impossible for me to include shadows in S.A.D. Alpha 3.  To make up for this, I will add money-making capability to S.A.D.  One can make money, lose money, buy refineries, upgrade refineries, etc.

Nice!  I look forward to it, Hot_Dog!
