Empires in Ruins - The bastard child of 4X and Tower Defense
8 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?

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

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...

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

#indiegame #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #tycoon

Ale Abbey will soon be getting a new room, the Contemplarium🍻⛪ Make sure your brewers visit this haven once in a cool brew. To take a knee... a break... a sneaked-in pint even!😉

#indiegame #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #tycoon

It is with hoppy pride and joy that we announce that Ale Abbey has officially left Early Access after brewing updates for 6 months!🥳

Yes, just now, so raise your tankards and join the Fermentine Order toasting 1.0! 🍻⛪

#indiegame #tycoon #pixelart

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

#indiegame #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

✅Everyone up for an early morn ✅Stove's burning in the brewery ✅Ale order for a festival in Pilsnerheim confirmed ✅Brother Ferdinand tipsy at 6:00, before even starting said order...🤦‍♂️ All's well in the Abbey!🍻⛪

Celebrating #screenshotsaturday doesn't mean we're not preparing for Ale Abbey's 1.0 release on the 17th... Yes, mere days away!🤩 The Fermentines are already inspecting all their ales... we're welcoming new brewers soon!!🍻⛪

#indiegame #tycoon #pixelart

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