Things and stuff and things.
Massive-scale tower defense game goes into beta in two weeks.
Published on March 14, 2019 By Tatiora In Siege of Centauri News

Set in the Ashes of the Singularity universe, the player takes on the role of commander of the defense of Earth's first colony on Proxima Centauri.  Stardock's new take on the classic genre comes by leveraging its new game engine, first seen in Ashes of the Singularity™ and more recently in Star Control®: Origins.

"With tens of thousands of enemy machines pouring toward your base, we want to give players a very new experience of what it means to defend yourselves against overwhelming odds," said Derek Paxton, lead designer of Siege of Centauri. "It takes little explaining to the player on the benefits between a rail gun that fires 1 deadly round every 10 seconds, and a high-speed plasma arc array that does low damage, but to dozens of enemies at once, when you can visibly see a huge mothership surrounded by hundreds of escorts coming at you."

The veteran strategy game developer is also incorporating some strategic elements to the genre, such as defending resources and deploying fast response teams to battle.

"Another feature we're pretty excited about is separating resource gathering from enemy destruction," said Paxton. "You are, literally, dealing with overwhelming enemy forces while simultaneously having to make some tough choices on what areas of a given map you need to defend and which ones you need to just let go in order to safeguard your resource production.”

The Founder's program is designed to allow fans of the genre to get early input into game mechanics, pacing, and balance.

"There are a lot of interesting questions that we want to engage with our fans with before final release," said Paxton. "And with this genre so popular, it presents such a great opportunity to tap into that collective experience.

The Founder's program will begin on March 28
Pre-purchase today and gain access to the beta when it launches in two weeks

Confusion caused by simple misunderstanding.   The correct answer is as follows:   Look at the very top of your steam page.  You will see the line "Steam View Friends Games Help".  Click on this GAMES.  Product key found on your invoice ABOVE the phrase "Steam Key" and not following it.  Look for STEAM PRODUCT CODE.  When you click on GAMES you will get an option to ACTIVATE a game on Steam.  You do not need to select name of game from a list.  Clicking on ACTIVATE game will call up Standard Key Code field and formatting instructions.  When done entering Key Code (STEAM PRODUCT CODE), STEAM will auto-validate and download game, activate, and install.  Bingo.  Your done.

Yep, this is how you redeem codes on Steam. Maybe next time we should do a graphic to explain this. I have made one in the past.
