Binnenkort in vroegtijdige toegang

De ontwikkelaars brengen dit spel uit terwijl er nog aan gewerkt wordt en gebruiken de feedback van spelers bij de ontwikkeling.

Opmerking: Spellen in vroegtijdige toegang zijn nog niet voltooid en kunnen nog veranderen. Als je niet staat te springen om dit spel in de huidige staat te spelen, kun je beter afwachten hoe het spel zich verder ontwikkelt. Meer informatie

Wat de ontwikkelaars zeggen:

Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Distributed Shield already provides a playable sandbox with force construction, route and formation planning, sensor tracking, component-based air defence, manual and automatic exercise launches, live event views, saving and after-action scoring. Early Access will let strategy and simulation players help us improve clarity, balance, performance and usability while the catalogue and scenario-authoring tools continue to grow.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We currently expect approximately 12–18 months. This is an estimate rather than a promise; quality and player feedback will determine the final schedule.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan to add a stronger guided training suite, improved adversarial automation, more scenario-authoring and sharing tools, expanded after-action analysis, additional performance and accessibility settings, and further validation of public-source game profiles. We also plan to improve the native 3D presentation.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The current version is a single-player sandbox. Players can construct both fictional exercise forces, deploy units, create routes and formations, configure altitude and payloads, control sensor emissions, operate multiple command and sensor displays, launch eligible exercise weapons, save locally and generate an after-action score. There is no campaign, multiplayer, Steam Workshop or Steam Cloud support in the current build. Balance, performance and usability remain areas of active development.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan to gradually raise the price as substantial content, training and scenario tools are completed. Price changes will be announced in advance.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'We will use Steam Discussions and structured feedback posts for bug reports, usability feedback, public-source corrections and feature priorities. Equipment claims will require a traceable public source, and classified or operationally sensitive submissions will not be used.'

Over dit spel

Design the battlespace. Command the network. Understand every outcome.

Distributed Shield is a real-time command simulation in which you construct both sides of a fictional near-future air and missile exercise. Deploy aircraft, radars, command nodes and air-defence components across a georeferenced South Asian theatre, then plan routes, formations, altitude profiles, payloads, emission policies and engagement rules before starting the clock.

Once the exercise begins, every view is driven by the same simulation state. Watch detections develop into uncertain tracks, follow missiles through boost, mid-course and terminal flight, or move between command, selected-radar, radar coverage, EO/IR, network, electronic-warfare and live event-camera displays.

Build your own exercise

  • Begin with a blank sandbox or balanced fictional demonstration forces.
  • Deploy Pakistan and India equipment from clearly labelled public-source, reported, contracted and scenario-only catalogues.
  • Create routes with individual waypoint altitude, speed and HOT/COLD/RECOVER instructions.
  • Build formations from two aircraft to large drone swarms.
  • Choose payload tokens, sensor emissions and automatic or operator-controlled exercise launches.
  • Pause, retask, save and score the sandbox whenever you choose.

A connected battlespace

Sensors do not receive perfect information. Radar, EO/IR and passive-RF contacts depend on line of sight, Earth curvature, altitude, aspect, broad signature bands, weather, clutter, scan timing, track quality and network contribution. Component-based air-defence packages require their command, sensor and launcher elements to remain available.

Transparent simulation

The launch panel explains estimated chance, energy, geometry, weather and track factors instead of drawing a fixed “no-escape zone.” Missiles use a time-stepped point-mass game model with boost, sustain, energy decay, lead pursuit, seeker activation and closest-approach assessment. An after-action board records the events and results of the exercise.

Distributed Shield uses deliberately bounded public-source game profiles. It is not certified training software, an operational planning tool or a prediction of real-world military performance.

Informatie over door AI gegenereerde inhoud

Zo omschrijven de ontwikkelaars hoe hun spel AI gebruikt om inhoud te genereren:

Generative AI assisted with promotional/key artwork, icons, interface content, and portions of written catalogue and store-page text during development. These assets and text were selected and edited during development. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to an AI service. Generated artwork is illustrative and is not presented as documentary imagery.

Beschrijving inhoud voor volwassenen

De ontwikkelaars omschrijven de inhoud als volgt:

This game depicts fictional military conflict through map symbols, aircraft and missile launches, explosions, interceptions, and destruction of equipment. Combat is abstract and non-graphic. There is no blood, gore, dismemberment, or depiction of injured people.
