In a space strategy sim called Nebulous, Liliana, a US Navy veteran, emphasizes the importance of sleek ship design for radar stealth, based on her military experience.
Nebulous goes beyond typical 'fog of war', considering radar reflections, electronic warfare tactics, and ship signatures in detail.
The game simulates radar physics realistically within its constraints, enhancing gameplay fidelity.
Liliana's real-world naval experience heavily influences Nebulous' focus on practical ship details, differing from games like Homeworld.
The game addresses complex aspects like missile functionalities and emphasizes the importance of realism without being obsessed with it.
Nebulous players, influenced by mechanics, have surprised Liliana with playstyles that do not align with her initial expectations, prompting adjustments.
Upcoming single player campaign aims to ease new player entry, while AI improvements enhance non-player ships' behaviour and strategy.
Nebulous balances realism with gameplay, fuelled by Liliana's insights from her naval service, offering a blend of strategic depth and performance.
AI in Nebulous reflects tactical archetypes and strategic decision-making in line with the game's evolving dynamics and player behaviour.
Liliana aims to imbue Nebulous with naval microcosm elements, like crew morale and ship operations, to lend realism and depth to the game's military setting.
