- Guards II News #12. Ability and Status icons - 1 September 2023
Hello there, We mentioned in previous announcements that all enemies and their abilities have been approved and are technically finished. This week, our artist has completed creating icons for all of them. Even though the game might appear small, it boasts a plethora of distinct abilities. Just take a look at these spreadsheets. Overall, we have a total of 320 ability text blocks. Default abilities do not feature icons, only secondary abilities are accompanied by icons. In any case, we needed to design around 150 different icons. It looks remarkably cohesive! Any strategy game necessitates careful planning based on current information. As a result, we've decided to include a "Status Info" block where players can view all buffs and debuffs affecting any unit. Utilizing information to make strategic moves is a fundamental aspect of the game. Most of the effects are common, such as increas…

The design of the Wizard House menu incorporates elements inspired by retro games, and we are delighted with the visual outcome. Within the menu, players will find interactive elements such as a book, which leads to the Skill menu, a pentagram that opens a…

- Guards II News #3. Let's talk about heroes. - 21 February 2023
Hello there, In this News we will talk about heroes. Main idea remains the same. Each hero has Health, Damage and Spell Power. But we came up with a great idea how to make the game more strategic without adding complexity. So, here it is. Each hero has 2 stances which can be changed under certain circumstances. All heroes attack differently. Ultimate attacks also do different effects. Both stances are useful, but player should decide what is the best composition at the current moment. Today we gonna give info about 4 heroes and their abilities. Demonologist is the main protagonist of the game. He has low base life, but high damage. First stance. - Attack. Ranged attack with high damage. - Ultimate. Deals X damage and stuns 1 enemy for 1 turn. Second stance. - Attack. Targets and attack an enemy on any cell of the map. - Ultimate. Send meteors to the closest enemies on each line. Alchemi…
- Guards II News #2. Mission system and World #1 - 31 January 2023
Hello there, We are keeping the work on Guards sequel. From now on, we will publish news regularly. Main flaw of original game was a necessity to reply early levels again and again. To cut this flaw and leave gameplay unchanged we decided to make 5 different worlds. Each world has from 3 to 7 missions. Each world is similar to additional game with 1 big change. It is easier to show it on the example. World #1 has 3 locations in it. Player starts Mission 1 of World #1 and it has only 1 location in it. If player starts Mission 2, it is an adventure of 2 sub-missions. Player needs to pass Location 1 and complete Location 2 after that. Same for Mission 3 which has 3 locations inside. Similar to Original Guards, right? The main difference that fulfillment of same Locations in different sub-missions is different. For example, Location 1 of Mission 1 has only 2 types of weak enemies. But Locat…
