While it's been quite a while since I've made any cartoons here on Newgrounds, I've been hard at work for the past couple months working with my friend, Eli Brown, to make both of our first game: BESIEGED!! I'm mostly just supplying artwork and shit, and he's being some kind of coding savant. Since I haven't mentioned anything about this game before, I figured I'd cover the major details about this game.
What is this garbage?
Besieged is basically a tower defense game, but leaving it at that would undermine a good deal of its aspects. Aside from freely placing various types of towers on the field to take out oncoming foes, there are also structures that are used for several thing, including gathering gold and enhancing your existing towers. You can also level up your towers and your castle so you can rape angry dots like a pimp.
Why would I want to play yet another tower defense game?
Shut up, fag, and I'll tell you. Because it's going to rule. Where other tower defense games are just copied code of every other one you've played, this one is built from the ground up and adds some sweet RTS and RPG elements into the mix. On top of that, there's a sweet Awards system (they smell like achievements, but taste better) that acknowledges your efforts and rewards you in some pretty neat ways.
When does this sweet game I'm already convinced will sweep up dozens of awards come out?
Quit being so pushy, I just announced it. We'll probably be done and ready to evacuate it from our birth canals sometime in July.
A good portion of the artwork is done, the engine is pretty much done, but in a constant state of making-more-awesome, levels are currently being designed and balanced and all that fun stuff.
If you have anything interesting to ask, say, or suggest, we would love to hear what you have to say. I'm willing to explore some sweet suggestions, as long as they pertain to something about this game and / or its mechanics and not Ingus 9 or me fucking myself.
Here is a shrunk down in-progress shot of the game's simplistic second level.
