Wow those graphics are awesome, nice job. I love impending doom music in the background 8)

Nice!

That’s some sort of a RTS/Tower defense?

That… is awesome. :smiley:

(Should threads like this go in the Games Center somewhere?)

Yup, a bit of a hybrid between tower defence, RTS, and Cake Mania.

Why didn’t make the game in 3d if the various light effects would have been easier to implement than with 2d.

Well, Chaz says it’d have been easier to implement in 3D but that would also have meant writing a whole new graphics renderer (we’ve been using the same ol’ sprite engine since Alien Flux), and a whole new graphics production pipeline. What we’ve got here is just the perfection of our 2D sprite rendering architecture, using multiple layers and sublayers and colouring. It was a bit fiddly to get it just right but now it’s done it’s a doddle.

awesome stuff there, the game is really looking great, just love the attention to detail.

Have you played Harvest? Looks a bit similar, as @Voxar pointed out.

I can’t wait to play this. :smiley:

looking really cool! :slight_smile:

As it happens I have played Harvest (looong time ago) - it’s superficially similar in that there are little lines that glow between the buildings. But that is indeed the only similarity at all twixt the two.

Ah, it’s great to see this coming along! Looks great with the color scheme update.
