Hello! And welcome to the first edition of GG News!
I'm Lucas AKA Azeros and I'm the lead artist and designer of Grand Gate.
We'll be sharing development news and cool stuff we've been working on behind the scenes for the upcoming release of Grand Gate, so, without further ado:
First off, we have revealed one of our enemies:
A cute slime born from the magical dew of the forest of Malta, the Slimes are friendly creatures most of the time but can become aggressive if threatened.
And one of our towers:
The mighty wardens are powerful crystal warriors made of pure crystal energy manipulated by the sages.
In your journey through the continent of Cordis to defeat the Gateborn, sworn enemies of humanity which were born from the Void, you'll face many foes, with the slime being one of the first you'd imagine their threat level to be low, that is correct until you face their combined might inspired by the presence of one their kings...
This is the King Slime, which will greatly enhance the power of nearby slimes and also has a burst skill of his own.
Anyway, these are all the news we shared through the month of march. So what can you expect from us in the near future:
- We'll soon be opening up playtesting registration through Steam. So, keep spamming that F5 key to sign-up ASAP :)
- More gameplay snippets
- More reveals about the enemies and towers of Grand Gate
And finally, what are we working on?
- We're hard at work at upgrading and finishing our UI, which should be fully completed by May, which coincidentally should be our first public playtest date *wink wink*
- Tower and enemy skills. We've recently achieved our first fully playable Legend in all their glory. Expect an explosive reveal on this one :)
- Steamworks integration
- Explosive barrels - We'll have a blog post on these ones in the future, but Grand Gate players can expect many opportunities to use the environment in their favor, however the Gateborn will also be able to take advantage of these....
- Expanding our small community
So, we have our hands full at the moment! And we'd greatly appreciate help with the following things:
TELL YOUR FRIENDS & SPREAD THE NEWS!
This is a labor of love from us, we'll make sure to deliver the absolute best tower defense game we can.
