Really nice visuals, it looks like a great tower defense!

Thanks guys, glad you like it!!

Just a quick update as the production of Province Assets continues. Now ready to go with the Guards Post, Fisherman's Hut and Farms

[DrHogan]

Hi guys, a quick update while we are finalizing the tech tree and research system (I am quite proud of how it came out, we will show it off soon). Meanwhile we continue rendering the last enemies assets, so here's a tasty preview of the Krovan Steam Tank shooting.
The VFX needs some tuning and we need to add some smoke from the chimney as well, but I am happy of how it looks like. The player will hate this one, it's a real juggernaut. Slow and unrelenting, very well armored, shoots far and does a lot of damage, and if all that was not enough, it also deploys troops along the path while moving.

Hey guys, we were silent for a while, but big things are happening, and the final refactoring of the main map has finally begun as well.

Here's a couple of samples of the new look, both the parchment version (while zoomed out) and the "3D" version (while zoomed in and at night time) (the lower bar is still the old one but will go soon as well)

Cheers,
Hogan, H&R Lead Dev

glad to hear so, thanks mate!

Oy guys, I didn't disappear, it's just that between development and the fact (don't get me wrong, but everywhere else we go far more feedback and reactions) that here on TigForum we got little action going on, I had to focus a bit on other stuff.

First of all, EMPIRES IN RUINS is on STEAM NOW!

Not in release yet, but wishlistable and pretty well updated too!

And not to be the one that goes around, posts a link and then disappears for good, here's also a bunch of the latest shots to show you how the game is now evolving. I personally think we have some really really nice ones now!












As always, for questions, feedback, suggestions, insult too if neeeded, you find me here  !

Cheers,
Emiliano, H&R

PS Random and not connected info, meanwhile I made and release a small game on Steam, Razerwire:Nanowars if you wanna check it

LOVE LOVE LOVE the art style. Really cool way of making sprites. Keep up the good work.

[DrHogan]

Thanks mate, always nice to hear such words! Cheers!

Hello guys,

Our updates here might not be too frequent, but our progress is being steady!

One thing at time. First of all, we are going TO EGX!!! September 20th to 23rd, Birmighamn, come visit us and play live Empires in Ruins at EGX rezzed! We're excited like penguins on a barbecue about it, frantically working to make it work like a charm!



Then, some progress.Here's the latest gameplay video on the latest pre-beta.





We're about to open up the big beta round for the battle maps only, subscription through our Discord channel and our newsletter. We're also preparing an amazingly cool giveway (not exagerating, you will love that one- physical cool gadgets involved)

Last but not least, one more member joined the Team, Karlis, from Latvia - Illustrator. He's already at work on the research trees icons, loving what he is doing in terms of flavour and style for the techs.



Cheers guys, hope to hear from you soon!
Emiliano, H&R

Wow, keep it coming! This looks to be a formidable tower defence RTS mix. 

[Saladin]

hi Dr, remember me, we have talked over discord community of TIGsource the other day? your game graphics really looks good. keep working  on it man. and have me your first freemium user. 

[DrHogan]

Ahaha thanks man! Join our Discord channel, that's where I usually announce betas and basically do a semi-real time microblogging on progress! One battle map beta should come relatively soon.

a tiny update only while I am working on some promo materials, how do you like this as a poster guys?

Now back to coding
Cheers,

[DrHogan]

Woop woop woop, big news guys! We're getting the new UIs in game, and I am already in love with them.

First of all, here's what we had as UIs for the past 2 years, placeholders made by me (a programmer )



and this is what we are now making (it's heading towards final but surely has quite some work to be done before it's ready)











as always, if you have any tip, feedback or whatever else, feel free to write it!

And if you wanna join the beta, here's the Discord channel where the link is: https://discord.gg/rWksyw6

Cheers and see you around!

We did certainly talk the talk, now I reckon it's time to see if we can walk the walk.

It has a lot in, it can be chaotic, it's battle only and it's detached (for production reasons) from the main game and from all the tutorials. But here it is, 

OUR BATTLE BETA!

With the new UIs, and already a LOT of fixes from the pre-beta testing, if you guys wanna try it, we'd be stoked to hear what you think about it!

PS there is a txt file we suggest reading in the rar file.

Cheers,
H

[DrHogan]

And here's how the current beta looks and play like if you guys wanna see before trying (link's in the post above!) 

[DrHogan]

Certainly you can't say we do spam here too often  But at least hey, progress is visible!

Here's the new trailer





And here's the new beta if you guys wanna give it a try and give us some feedback! https://sgth.itch.io/empires-in-ruins

Yet another quick update with the first part (approx 1/3 of it) of our intro cutscene. Let's see who does recognize the voice actor

I like how your game evolves since I last saw it.
