Firstly, thank you to everyone who's offered feedback, left reviews, and supported Desktopia so far. As you probably know, there are only three of us working on Desktopia so we're sorry if updates and responses take a little time. We always want to make sure we're doing our best and taking the game in the right direction. We're here for the long haul and we have plenty of ideas on how we can add content, and a bunch of updates already planned. With that, I'd like to talk a little about 'Tyranny!' , and show you some of the new -(still under construction)- assets!
These are just a few of the new buildings which will be included in the Tyranny! update. Alongside these, many of the existing building's uses will be overhauled or given new functions (the woodcutter for example will improve your character's axe haft, making it more deadly).
The green portals you see are the base requirement for playing as a tyrannical overlord. Choose to build them instead of a barracks and outposts, and the Piglizards will pour through. Rather than helping you defeat the boss, like soldiers do, these Piglizards will go around collecting taxes and creating the new resource 'Tyranny!', which, with the construct of new buildings, you can spend on upgrading your character so you can play a major role in taking on the bosses yourself. Imagine yourself with the laser of Red the Plastic Trooper, with spells to summon ferocious monsters or rain down fire, and placeable turrets to help defend your town from attacks!
Other features:
- New ways to spend gratitude, for those who still want to play as a god guy: new prayers, festivals, and player upgrades.
- Villagers who can turn unfriendly and attack their guards or you!
- A new character screen where you can see your stats and buy upgrades using resources.
- 3 new levels, including a new 80+ building level.
- A range of new enemies.
- Giant monsters attracted to Tyranny who will challenge you for your towns.
- Disasters and new building's to mitigate them.
- New ways to control your troops.
- Menu overhauls to reflect the new stats and resources, and to tidy things up!
Thanks again for all the support, and (as always) let us know what you like and dislike. We take feedback very seriously, and have already added a host of suggestions from the community.
