Hello everyone, I'm 🍊SeveralOranges, the producer of "Guardians of the Sanctree," and I'm delighted to meet you all for the first time! I'm really excited to introduce my upcoming game to you and sincerely hope you'll enjoy what we've created. Thank you all for your interest and support!🕊️
In my first Devlog, I'll be breaking down the introduction of "Guardians of the Sanctree" into three parts: the game creative process, gameplay mechanics, and the release details for our open and free demo.
📢【Game Creative Inspiration】
"Guardians of the Sanctree" was conceived in November 2022, inspired by the collective ideas of our team of ten members (most of whom were university students at the time). To kick off this new project, each member proposed their own gameplay concepts. Through two rounds of voting and subsequent refinements, we integrated everyone's ideas into a cohesive plan, resulting in a game that blends a diverse range of gameplay elements.
With the concept solidified, we quickly developed a prototype and underwent numerous rounds of testing and polishing.
Today, we are on the verge of our first large-scale open playtest.✨
Once again, thank you all for your support, and we can't wait to share "Guardians of the Sanctree" with you soon!🦜🦜
📢【About Gameplay】
"Guardians of the Sanctree" is a cooperative strategy game that supports co-op, encompassing base-building, colonial simulation, survival crafting, adventure, tower defense, automation, and more. Set against the backdrop of a war between avian and insectoid races, the game sees mutated bugs from underground threatening the tree-dwelling avians.
Players take on the role of an avian leader, guiding NPCs(your followers) in constructing fortifications in the trees to resist the bugs onslaught. As your power grows, you'll lead teams to delve underground, uncover treasures, fortify defenses, and ultimately launch a counterattack to destroy the insectoid hive!
Upon first encountering "Guardians of the Sanctree," you might think of games like Oxygen Not Included, Terraria, and Factorio. Naturally, I aspire to develop a game that is as enjoyable as these great titles, and you'll get to experience the fun, innovation, and uniqueness of "Guardians of the Sanctree" in the free demo coming in late May.
📢【About First Public Testing】
"Guardians of the Sanctree" is now available for Wishlist and Play Testing Registration on the Steam store (you'll be automatically notified when the free demo is released).
The free demo is scheduled to launch in mid to late May and will feature about one-fifth of the content of the full version.
We'll continue to refine the game based on your playtest feedback, striving to enhance gameplay and artistic quality. We eagerly anticipate your valuable opinions and suggestions!💐💐
If you're interested in "Guardians of the Sanctree," please consider adding it to your Steam wishlist—it means a lot to us! Thank you all for your support!🥳
