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

6 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

They could be brewing instead, but then Brother Marcus would never learn how to boil a wort on his own🍻⛪ And they wouldn't be having a much-needed "break"😉

Curious to see how the new battlefields looks like?

A bit of summary of stuff we made in the last month

How do we feel about a more diegetic UI approach to shuffle through the Recipe Creation stages?🍻⛪Something less direct but more natural looking like Ribbon Markers on the sides of your Recipe Book in Ale Abbey?🧐

So many things to research, and so little time🧐thankfully Ale Abbey's Laboratorium creates the best of spaces for uninterrupted studying about life, beer, and everything!🍻⛪

We're reworking the guidance/notification system for the player action based on testers feedback, we hope you guys will like it!

We've been told time flies when you're brewing in Ale Abbey🍻⛪ Keep focusing on that😉 there'll be ways to flaunt your monastery's progress over time with these evolving facades #WIP

#indiegame #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Work in moderation, play in moderation!🧐 As Ale Abbey’s Custodians, your brewlings ensure the monastery’s order and cleanliness, but that doesn’t mean they can't enjoy the perks of being a brewer! 🍻⛪
