ERA's Technician, repairs everything. Complains about all of it. 🔧
Grew up fixing farming machinery in the Agrotech Farmlands. Now he's in the field repairing tanks and bridges under fire. He did not ask for this.

The Bullfrog. ARM's hovering flamethrower. 🐸🔥
It hovers. It burns. Its Hellspit ability rains fire across a wide area from three arcing spits of burning fuel.
There is no terrain it can't reach.

We keep things mysterious. Here's why. 🤫
There is a lot happening. We just keep things to ourselves, intentionally.
Defcon Zero is a new franchise. Discovering it for the first time is an experience worth protecting. We're not going to spoil it.

ALT Not only are there totally new RTS games being developed and released like ZeroSpace into Early Access, but R.U.S.E. and Empire Earth games are back on Steam and KKND: Krush Kill 'N Destroy games got a major update! These last few weeks have been quite eventful for the RTS gaming community and genre at large so I am going to start with one of the brightest stars first the Kickstarter update for D.O.R.F.

We're doing what we love. And we're raising even more — not because something is wrong, but because we want Defcon Zero to be great.
Dev Update 26 drops Thursday. ❤️

DEFCON ZERO 2026 Roadmap | Q4.
October – December: Polish and Demo work.
QA. Polish. Bug fixing. Notes. And at the end of it — the demo. That's the target. That's what we're building toward all year.
Demo is suppose to be out around the start of 2027!

Engine refactor final part: Defcon Zero is single-player first — but we're building multiplayer-ready so the second game in the series can build on it.

Engine refactor means better optimization, better complexity, stronger result. Things might look familiar but feel different. That's intentional.

We're doing a deep engine refactor. Not because something is wrong, because we want Defcon Zero to be built right.

Defcon 2026 Roadmap | Q2
April – June: Core Mechanics
This is where we build. Core mechanics in the engine. We're constructing a formidable build, testing new mechanics, and continuing to create assets for the demo. A small QA round may happen. This is Q2 — and it's already underway.

ERA doesn't leave soldiers behind — that's not sentiment, that's doctrine.
The Paramedic heals infantry, deploys medpacks allies can pick up, and gains damage resistance while channeling a heal when he has enough battlefield experience. He's a force multiplier.
