necro bump I know, but I just came across this -
awesome news about the studio hook up!! I'm stoked for you guys!!

I absolutely LOVE the art style for this game, and being a massive tower defence fan also you can be sure I'll be keeping an eye on this one
Good luck with the development guys

Hey guys! Thanks for the bump, totally missed it till now. Have some new stuff to show, here's the mining tower I recently finished, all three levels.



And here's a quick video showing it in motion. This is not in its finished state, still lots of polish left to do, sounds and effects to add etc, but I wanted to give you a glimpse of it in motion. The miners/animations were done by our character artist Brian Cairns.

Also, you guys have mentioned that its kind of hard to differentiate between the towers. So far we've had a lot of outside testers and they've never noticed it being a problem, I think maybe just seeing it in motion and knowing what towers you placed makes it not difficult at all. I think the static screenshot can make it feel overwhelming. For now, we're going to leave it as is, but if in beta people start complaining about it we'll definitely be making changes, thanks for the feedback! Definitely on our radar now. Here's a couple new screen shots since the old one is old.




Lastly! We have a giveaway going on to win these awesome trading cards we printed up of a few of the characters. Signed by the artists.

Thanks guys! And again, all feedback welcome.

You've done a beautiful job on this. I never saw the thread before, just the stuff in the wip thread. The only thing that bugs me are the citizens. I'd like to see them twice as big. They are so tiny.

Full screen and animated everything will look read better, I'm sure I can't wait to play.

Looks great bro! New environment shots are night and day from the last ones.

I love this its amazing

Thanks so much everyone for all the support, it's seriously helped keep me and the team motivated. It's been a major undertaking to make this indie game happen, but three years later and it's almost done. Pretty surreal. Help us beta test it!

How am I just now seeing this? Going to try to get in on the beta!

That trailer... this game looks great!

Wow. That's amazing how far you all have brought it. I would be surprised if it didn't get Indie Game of the Year...you need to submit it for that.

Good work, keep up

You guys seriously did a great job on the trailer. Good job bro!

Definitely going to try to snag a key, I've been waiting to get my hands on this from a while.

Looks like Greed Corp.

Just came across this. I don't normally play these kind of games but goddamn! Picking this up for the gorgeous art alone. One thing I would say though, is the intensity of the lights should be turned up a smidge. I preferred the older brighter screens, trailer seems a little darker. But seriously, this is Valve quality work. There is polished awesome everywhere you look. And get whoever animated on this a lapdance, cause goddamn those animations are awesome. Is it getting a mac version on steam?

Thanks a lot everyone. Andreas as of now its just windows. If it does well we'll consider porting it over.

Beta has officially started! If you're interested in a key, shoot me a PM!

wow this looks great, PM sent

Looks so awesome !

The art for this game looks great!!!

Do you paint on the model or use Photoshop? Can I see what the textures look like?

Great stuff!!

I absolutely love this.

Super awesome.


Such a nice style!

Thanks guys! As far as texturing goes we just do traditional unwrapping and painting in Photoshop, no painting on the model.

Hey I saw this video of your game! Looks awesome!
