I definitely want to incorporate him as a more fleshed out character in future art and game models... his more tech-y look is more in line with the game design at the moment anyway than the grungy mysterious look of the bird-lady, I think. Thanks for the feedback!

[Tooth & Cog]

Hi! I’m a member of a small indie game team that’s trying to Kickstart Tooth & Cog, a turn-based strategy game with a focus on online multiplayer and a steampunk aesthetic.

In brief, it's our attempt to bring deep and engaging 4X (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate) game-play into the internet age, something we don't think has been done too well so far.

I'm definitely interested in what people out there think of the general concept -- is 4X strategy an area you feel would benefit from more multiplayer options?

Our game would have the intent of being turn-based while still keeping multiplayer intense and engaging. We do this with simultaneous turns, team vs team games, objective-based game-play, in-game chat, scalable maps, and server customization, and perhaps some other stuff too, depending on beta-testing and feedback.





Ask me some questions, give us some feedback, or learn more about Tooth & Cog on our website! http://www.rivetinggames.com/ and KickStarter page! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/630327008/tooth-and-cog-turn-based-strategy-game

I like the bird face, a lot. Reminds me of Dishonored.

Ya, thanks, that's actually a great thought, maybe we should even make it a little more of a bird skull look, too. Glad you like it! We actually had a male version of that character with a slightly different version of the mask, and I'm not sure which I like better.



Has maybe a bit more of the functional look of the Dishonored mask - I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts.

Hello erybody!

I'm Sam. I'm a dev at a indie games company I and two youth-hood friends of mine recently started, called Riveting Games!http://www.rivetinggames.com/

I'm pretty young in game dev terms, only having started game-making and programming within the past year, but I've always been a huge fan of strategies, adventures, and rpgs, and I appreciate anything with some depth to its game world and mechanics that don't suck.

We're currently making a game in Unity called Tooth & Cog. It's our steampunk-themed effort to make turn-based 4X strategy gameplay work well in an online multiplayer format.





In fact we just launched a kickstarter, so if you want to learn more, check it out!

Your questions and suggestions, give them to me. Thanks!
