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

Long time no see guys!


Ohoh, 3 years since the last time I did write here? Woah, quite some time passed and quite some things happened since then. I could tell you funny stories about where i’ve been living and what i’ve been doing, but I reckon telling you about Hammer&Ravens growth and EiR development is far more interesting.

For starters, we were 2.5 team members at the time of our failed Kickstarter (i.e. the last time we did write in here too more or less) and now we are 8 since almost a couple of years (not to count a few external specialists like voiceactor, writer, an additional illustrator, etc etc).

Then let’s get to Empires in Ruins. The Kiddo is not ready yet, but damn if it did grow. If you go checking the Kickstarter page, in the post before this one, I reckong you can see a bit of difference, and you can probably already guess that EiR ain’t a casual TD game ;)

A lot more is coming, but beside polishes and cleanups, the battle system is ready (new UIs will be coming soon as well). The 4X and management system and the plot have been left a bit behind for a while, but we are now onto them so that they are also advancing.

Check some pics here in the while. We plan to revamp the Gamejolt page of the game as well and to get an open (battle-only) beta up as soon as possible, but if you wanna see what else has been doing until now already!

Sketching some new styled promo assets, what do you guys think?
