File:Titans-icon.png Planetary Annihilation Titans & Classic Timeline
Uber developed Classic PA with a new engine in less than two years.
Titans / experimentals / super units / megabots were specifically excluded from classic PA and not part of the Kickstarter pitch.
The classic PA Kickstarter closed at ~US$2.25 million from 44,162 backers with an original funding goal of US$900,000.
In comparison the budget for Supreme Commander 1 (excluding Forged Alliance) would now be well over US$20 million when adjusted for increases in game development costs over the last 10 years.
Sadly the much smaller budget in comparison was too low to fund a full story mode / campaign.
Technical blogs:
- The Tech of Planetary Annihilation: Chronocam (Forest Smith) Q&A
- Bending Solid Geometry (Allen Chou)
Titans is free for the original 44,000+ Kickstarter backers of classic PA from September 2012 and has ALWAYS been 66% off (~$15) or lower for all other classic PA owners.
