Planetary Annihilation Teases New Units & Saved Game Support

Planetary Annihilation my favourite crashy strategy game has teased a big update to come soon. Not only does it include unit balance changes and new units, but the long promised saved game support will come too.

When I say crashy, I mean it lovingly! Server crash bugs when playing online don't happen much at all, and it hasn't put me off sinking over 40 hours into the game now. The rest of the game does seem pretty fluid and mostly bug-free now, so it's a great time to pick it up if you still haven't.

I have to hand it to Uber Entertainment, as they have slowly delivered on all their promises. It may have taken them longer than we liked for such a "normal" feature like saved games, but it's good they are getting to it.

They stated saved game support should land around the end of February. They will also put it into a public test release before it goes into the stable client, as they do with most updates now.

As for new units, it looks like submarines will make a flashy comeback:

Well I just lost another game due to their servers dying, and it causes the game to freeze.

It's so frustrating.

The camera in this game sticks as bad as sticky marshmallow hands. The learning curve seems really sharp, I was hoping for a StarCraft like RTS, Planetary Annihilation is not, it's its own animal.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo, wait, this colossus of a game that everyone's been raving about is something where you can't save?!
Developers wanted to implement very innovational saving system so it's just takes time because it's hard to implement.
There is other things they may fix faster (especially Linux UI issues) or add earlier, but save system isn't one of them.

Quoting: coryrj19951This should be interesting, I recently started playing PA again. I also re bought it again, found the disc in a store. I thought that was kind of cool so I picked it up and seen "PC/MAC/LINUX" on the top left of the box, and Linux requirements on the back of it and bought it. :D

This is sooooo unbelievable dumb (still)... Windows != PC. I mean, what is my Linux gaming desktop? A toaster? Man, I really hate this new-speech and dumbed down marketing speech.
