Game
Empires in Ruins - The bastard child of 4X and Tower Defense

7 years ago

Just a quick update from the development front. We're getting in the new towers, and we personally love the look of it, but not only the look improved...


The new towers are also far more lightweight on the occupied space and memory needed and, for the techies, they are completely managed through AssetBundles (Unity3D) so to minimize the RAM requirements for the game.

What’s new in the new towers?

  • New high-res flags

  • New enhanced color scheme for better contrast in game

  • Terrain layer beneath to merge with the map ground nicely

  • Smaller, optimized size for the game zoom level (half the size of the previous ones almost)

and, last, but absolutely not least

  • Snow layer ready for the upcoming snow maps!!

Hope the teaser was teasing enough for now, we can’t wait to push out a refreshed build here as well (these days our full focus is on the 4X part of the game and main map, but as you can see, no combat map is left behind ;) )

Cheers,
H, Lead Dev
