Hello! I was meant to post this a week ago, but was down with the flu for couple days. The summer is short in Finland, this year it was on a Tuesday. However, the sun is a lie, turns out you still need to wear clothing for warmth even though it's nice and pretty outside.
Someone thought it would be a great idea to put a walking tower in the game, so we made an Ent (because that's the closest thing!) and blew through the polygon budget in the process. Just like with regular towers, you need to have a strategy to deal with these guys. Luckily, the Ents are flammable.
People have been asking about the controls and troop command method. Undead Horde uses WASD/twin-stick controls for the necromancer, allowing you to move and aim/smite independently.
Commanding the horde uses a leash/unleash system. Normally, the horde stays close to you, but you can also release the horde in the aim direction. The white arrows/chevrons in the gifs indicate where the horde was just unleashed. Your horde will then act independently until you choose to recall it.
The system is simple, but works really well in practice, giving you plenty of control over your horde while being intuitive to use with both kbd+mouse and controller.
We also came up with a cool progression system, among other things, but that deserves its own update. With that, the game is essentially feature complete, but lots of content and polish are still needed, of course. We are working hard to create an external playable version, but can't commit to a date for that yet.
Also, there are two people from 10tons at Nordic Game 2018 next week. If you want to do an interview, or just want to come say hello, the guys can probably still accommodate you. Feel free to tip off your favorite media outlet! Thanks for reading!
