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!

Curious to see how the new battlefields looks like?

Abbess Catherine... we swear on everything that is hoppy🫣 It's but a trophy that commemorates our Laymen's hard work around Ale Abbey!🍻⛪

With Brewers like Brother Atticus, we're on AB² (AKA "Always Be Brewing") mode, all day, every day in the Monastery🍻⛪ The hardest part? Deciding what to brew next🤔

#indiegame #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #tycoon

There's definitely a "HONK if you want more awards from Ale Abbey's ale competitions" joke hatching in this one!🍻⛪

#indiegame #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

First weekend after Ale Abbey's full release... should we craft an Old Ale or a Saison?🤔 Whatchu brewing?!🍻⛪

#indiegame #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #tycoon

As our early access release approaches fast, the time has come to release our first Demo beta. For the very first time we make accessible to public the Campaign and Arcade mode...

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

Monasteries in Ale Abbey are only as busy as their Custodians are!🍻⛪ Brother Alexander might be a bit slow with the broom, but he has an eye for detail😉

Yep, we've been silent for a while, but did you guys see what we've been doing? New demo, tons of maps, campaign almost done, etc etc!
