Q&A With Lead Developer | Dev Interview and Silica RTS/FPS Hybrid Gameplay
27Today we are joined by the lead developer of the new hybrid RTS/FPS Silica! Martin (Dram) has worked in the game industry for a while and has had great success. I was lucky to have him join me for a round of Silica and get some information out of him while having a decent conversation about the game and his plans for it (hinted plans).
Silica is a crossover of FPS and RTS, combining some elements from Starcraft and the Arma series of games. Up to 3 factions battle for control over the planet of Baltarus. Lead from above as commander, or experience the action first-hand, either alone or with friends. Join one of two human armies, or hunt them down as territorial aliens.
