Blacksburg, VA; March 27, 2015 –
This week the War of Ages gone from cold to hot. We unveiled our mobile prototype to a very receptive audience. We thank the audience for their participation and feedback. Using this suggestions, the team has decided to focus on creating a playable prototype in GameMaker and push it out next week. We are hoping to give willing participants a hands on experience of leading their troops on the Fields of Battle. As was mentioned during the unveiling of the prototype, our game is open to any strategy. We would like to foster a community that creates their own tactics and is not restrained by the game mechanics.
To reiterate our goals, we are planning to roll out a playable version of the game on Android devices by the end of the semester with the ability to play with your friends and right then and there. So make sure to keep your poker face, unless you want to give away your mines. For those that might be uneasy jumping into a new game without anybody to play with, we are going to introduce Facebook sign-in. This will allow our first settlers to easily get into the game and tell their friends to prove their worth with three unique races. Will you be the defenders of your homeland that used to leave peacefully on this land and had to sometimes protect their territory from invading forces? Or will you be the mighty conquering force that through skill and cunning has enlisted allies to acquire the precious gems whose power was told through legends and now only the very few know of their locations? Last, but certainly not least, will you be able to survive the fate that has been dealt to you by time’s cruel irony?
Join us next week as we prepare to relinquish the command of our armies into your hands and allow you to write the story of this War of Ages.
