Trailer:






Oberon's Court, Shadow Chains.


news:
PocketTactics.com recently did a really nice feature on Oberon's Court, check it out here:
http://www.pockettactics.com/features/hell-is-other-pixels-tomas-sala-talks-rts-oberons-court/


A 3D real-time strategy game coming to IOS (and Android/windows)

In Oberon's court you'll take command of squads of restless souls that you have chained and bound to your will.  Recover resources such as bone, blood, steel and essence to customize the shades you've claimed from their resting places.

Game-play is Squad based, with individual commands such berserk, flee, vampirism  and more per unit available on attack stages.

The entire game is developed without the use of textures to create a unique visual style, and allow the 3D graphics to run on mobile devices. With a focus on fast paced combat, unit alchemy and resource detection.  

The initial release will focus on campaign based storytelling, following the player as he discovers the world of Oberon's Court and chains increasingly powerful souls, ranging from humble squires and foot soldiers to the souls of crusader knights and kings.  Where the former will transform to low level units such as bodgers and hare knights, and the latter weavers and other powerful squad leaders.

Each soul will be bound to the player's "cabinet" and improve persistently between maps and campaigns.

This looks absolutely amazing. I love the no texture idea. Very cool.

[muppetpuppet]

Thank you,  Yeh its all pretty early but that's an in-engine shot
Here's one from a more real camera perspective..

And more of a closeup action shot,with the same assets but with the engine stats on:
(to be able to read here's the linkhttp://imgur.com/ivGyq

288 bytes of textures , I got a kick out of that, actually my guess is thats the texture memory cost of the stats menu.

The concept is great and the look and feel of the game is just gorgeous. I love those galloping red-mawed ape-mount-thingies! I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Creepy Designs! 

[muppetpuppet]

thank you,, its meant to be creepy,;)   loved that reaction

[happymonster]

That last in-game shot doesn't appear to have anti-aliasing present, is this something you are going to add as in your wallpaper?

[muppetpuppet]

Its a quick screenshot i made,, I'm currently working on the enviroment shaders. And as the game is partially meant for mobile I had everything set to mobile quality forward rendering, hence the anti-aliasing.. as soon as the enviroment is more def, I will make some screens for wallpapers. Incedentally the parade shot was done form the game assets in 3dsmax wich renders nice and crisp..

[Belimoth]

Wow, very stylish.

[muppetpuppet]

concept for oberon, might be too detailed for the style [Edit] It looks like a Bionacle,, its not approved for the game [/edit]

[muppetpuppet]

just for fun

[Belimoth]

First one looks like a Bionicle.

[muppetpuppet]

Damn , I actually wasn't happy with it, but you nailed it, its true fuk.. definitely removing it from my assets. 

[muppetpuppet]

[Paul Jeffries]

Wow.  This is looking super-nice.  I like the black and white solid-colour units, it gives it a nice chess-y feel.

[Conker534]

I like it!

[Boud]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS !!!!!

[muppetpuppet]

i love you picked up on the chess reference    actually there's some more hints to chess in the unit make up.
