this looks really cool, so its a tower defense?

[DarthPuma]

Definitely interested. It already looks pretty good, so it should be great by the fall.

[Santa]

Citizens of Touch Arcade!

The sanctioned madman of our village in Hardland has something important to tell you all.

http://www.mountainsheep.net/hardgore/madmanconcept.jpg

Can you hear that music? Santa hears it... it's those penguins again, gotta roll'!

[Fletch]

Santa, are you one of the devs? If so, nice work! The game looks great, I really love the graphic style, and it looks to be a refreshing new take on the TD genre. But autumn release? That's so far way...:(

[gscal]

Does this have anything to do with the also Chillingo-published Minigore?

[don_k]

Looks good!

[arta]

Does this have anything to do with the also Chillingo-published Minigore?Yeah what's the difference?

[gscal]

Yeah what's the difference?

I'm guessing Minigore has more of a "mini" look?

[TheOZ]

Well through alittle bit of searching found the website. Apparently they are a company of finnish devlopers who also created a game called Super Hind for the PSP. The company is called MoutainSheep take a look at the site: http://www.mountainsheep.net/

I used to love TowerDefences and I have alot of the "major ones" and through the flooding of all these other towerdefences with the same aspects and gameplay got bored with them, but I think this game(and maybe StarDefence) I might find my passion for the genre again, but anyways the game looks amazing...

Edit:Not much on the site right now, but hopefully things will be updated there later(at least I hope)...

[gscal]

Hmm... I'm guessing Minigore will be like the lite version of Hardgore that will come out a quarter earlier?

[soup]

excellent remind me to refind this thread in autumn :)

[silicius]

Fantastiiiiiiiiiiic:):):):):):)

[lopches]

this looks good. just a question, whats the difference between minigore and hardgore?

[lazypeon]

I love the art sample you posted Santa. It reminds me of Castle Crashers and the 'Flash' style of art. Definitely on my watch list.

[Chillingo]

Minigore = free action game in preparation for the awesome Hardgore!

[TheOZ]

Minigore = free action game in preparation for the awesome Hardgore!

Sounds good! But could potentially hurt sales if the game isn't as good as expected..

Questions:

- Is Vampire Origins related to iDracula?

- When is the release date of minigore?

- Are the games in the "Coming Soon" section of your site in any particular order release date wise? (i.e CircuitStrike.One then Underground then HackersEvolution and so on?)

- Screenshots or Videos on Minigore or Hardgore?

Sorry for all these questions just very excited about these interesting releases...

[Santa]

Santa is indeed watching over the nice folks developing Hardgore. We shall wait for autumn together! If you let Santa be your eyes and ears, there will surely be many goodies for you to behold on this forum.

Fear not, as Santa did the research before signing up with Mountain Sheep. They have Minigore on a leash now... but the thing is like a rabid wolverine!

- When is the release date of minigore?

Santa hopes they will not let Minigore loose just yet. They promised to hold. Santa will tell you as soon as he knows.

- Screenshots or Videos on Minigore or Hardgore?

They tried to keep it a secret, but we had some eavesdropping done and learned they are planning to reveal a screenshot soon.

[Mr. Charley]

Definitely one to keep an eye out...
Possibly an early Christmas present for all of us? :)

Lol thanks Santa glad to know we have someone on the inside lol.

[arta]

So Minigore is the Lite version of Hardgore?

[Santa]

Santa found this picture at work, for some peculiar reason the scarecrow is attracting the birds...

[Kris Jones]

I thought Santa is only alive for a like a couple of days out of the year....

It's quite strange to see him... he scares me..

[nuggetsman28]

Hey Santa are you going to be posting promo gifts?

[Santa]

Definitely one to keep an eye out...

Most certainly it is!

Lol thanks Santa glad to know we have someone on the inside lol.

Santa always has someone on the inside. Oh, the things he would like to share with you on all the games! Sadly, Santa's NDA is usually very strict.

So Minigore is the Lite version of Hardgore?

Smaller it is, yet Lite it isn't. We heard them say they look similar on the outside, but their nature is different. We have not learned the meaning of this, yet.

Santa is usually arm-wrestling for most of the year. Indoors...

Hey Santa are you going to be posting promo gifts?

Gifts? Gifts... yes, gifts! We thought it sounded familiar! Since we are in the delivery business, it is gifts that interest us greatly. Yes, Santa is going to be posting them, indeed. It says so in the contract.

[The Game Reaper]

I think Santa got a bad deal...

[theone1007]

What exactly is Hardgore? Like, what type of game is it?

[walsh06]

read the article. its right there

[spamboy]

Hey Santa, you wouldn't happen to know a guy named Yoda, do you? You two should meet.

[theone1007]

Woops. I'm not a very observant fellow. Oh well, another TD. Not very exciting if you ask me. Way too many TDs and not enough shooters or sports games :(

[CandyNJ66]

Alive? You mean active?

Santa doesn't hurt anyone, except in silly horror movies. :p

[BadSanta]

Santa doesn't hurt anyone

Are you sure about it?
LOL

[Santa]

Yes - I do know Yoda, Santa teaches English language at the same academy.

PS. Santa finally found out why those crows are acting all friendly towards Deckard the scarecrow:

An evil sibling has found it's way here, Santa needs to hide immediately!

i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how much longer santa!!!!!

[SmallSoldiers81]

i think minigore is gonna be similar to idracula theres no set path for the monsters in the picture.

[Spiral75]

I love TD games still. As long as each one has at least ONE unique feature then it will keep me interested :)

[vrass]

I'm loving the art style. Cool stuff>:)

[TimoVihola]

Unfortunately Santa can't write at the moment, he got hurt in an arm wrestling competition so I'm filling in for him ;)

It's great to see people looking forward to both MG and HG, so far they've been the most fun projects I've ever worked on!
Spiral75: Hardgore won't settle for just one unique feature, it will be pretty unique overall.

We should have a teaser trailer up for you guys soon, meanwhile here's a teaser of the teaser:
"Our hero John Gore finds himself in a world of trouble..."

Instant buy for me.

But then I'm a sucker for TD's and cute graphics.

[avenged7enfold95]

release date pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeeee

[beetle004]

Was abou to purchase Field runners.Now wondering whether i should wait and get this one instead.

[Mohawk]

look at the graphics ....pretty awesome..!!!

[djflippy]

I want this bad.

[arta]

Was abou to purchase Field runners.Now wondering whether i should wait and get this one instead.

What? Fieldrunners is great, and Hardgore isn't due till autumn. Minigore is still a couple months out. You can't spare $5 till then?

[21duc29]

This sounds awesome... hopefully better than Fieldrunners. Price? Maybe a dollar or around four? Still a little confused with Minigore and Hardgore- I guess they said its like the smaller version of iDracula for Minigore.

[TimoVihola]

To give you an estimate about release date you will see Minigore pretty soon, in June at latest.

As for pricing:

Hardgore will certainly be less than 5 dollars, but not free.

In case of Minigore we're thinking about anything from free to 0,99 USD at most. Having it cost something helps us update it more often and develop it even further, on the other hand the audience who gets to play it will be somewhat smaller so it's tough to decide. What's your take on the issue?

arta: Fat Princess looks awesome :) I think multiplayer games will become very popular once the new OS update arrives.


To slightly ease the pain of waiting here's the final version of the Ride the Hardgore Wave poster:

http://www.mountainsheep.net/hardgore/ridethewave.jpg

PS. the upcoming teaser will show you the first glimpse of Minigore gameplay! ;)

[21duc29]

Having it free is fine but if it's a dollar, I wouldn't mind it either way... if you said that there could be updates... then a dollar to two would do ;)

- Is one the Lite version of the other?
- Is one an tower defense game and the other an action adventure game where you run around in an arena or levels?
- Is the animation smooth?
-Are you trying to fit the entire battle on the screen like 7Cities or can we pan and pinch zoom like Fieldrunners?

Chillingo already answered that.

[Vester]

wow hardgore looks amazing! >:l

[arta]

Chillingo already answered that.

Honestly, that's so vague that I'd prefer the new dev in this thread TimoVihola to confirm things for us.

[nuggetsman28]

is this sorta like a td?

It is a TD.

[Santa]

We did some digging.

Please please PLEASE tell us the difference between Hardgore and Minigore!

- Is one the Lite version of the other?

We learned this is not the case. Minigore is first to appear. Later, Hardgore Lite, different from Minigore, will be revealed. Finally, Hardgore himself shall come forth.

- Is one an tower defense game and the other an action adventure game where you run around in an arena or levels?

Minigore is a game of survival, we hear. A shooting game on the outside, but a cunning twist it contains. Powers of the beast you will unleash and all the enemies tremble in fear.

Hardgore... a tower defense with Santa and some animals. That is all we know. We will keep our eyes open.

- Is the animation smooth?

Oh, certainly. Smooth as goat's fur.

-Are you trying to fit the entire battle on the screen like 7Cities or can we pan and pinch zoom like Fieldrunners?

Santa lets the young mountain sheep of these forums answer. This tough for us.

[TimoVihola]

Thank you for the feedback!

Actually the gameplay of Hardgore is closer to PS3's tower defence game PixelJunk Monsters than Fieldrunners. I hate to be so vague but I don't want to give away too much info at this stage.

Here's a video of PixelJunk Monsters in case you're not familiar with it: wZPvOfwmvGA

LOL at the tinurl link "Oh noes somebody leaked a gameplay clip!" hehe. I'm glad that you noticed the roll finally :)


Meanwhile here's another illustration of the teaser:

[YungAssassin_BHB]

This game is going to be great
I'm going to get all my friends and fans to buy it.
:D:D

[VoodooVyper]

Ooh I really enjoyed PJM. That game was truely amazing and what separated that from other TDs was that you controlled a character. You'd build towers on trees using gold you collected from defeated enemies. Throughout the game your character would receive power-ups like the ability to run instead of walk, and to use 'gems' as landmines.
Gems were used as a method of quickly upgrading. You could also let the towers upgrade over time by getting kills, or if you stand directly in front of a tower and 'dance', it'd upgrade them over a period of time.
PJM is on the PS3 PSN.
PS. Abbreviations ftw

[nuggetsman28]

any more news on this game?

[Santa]

Exciting times ahead! We hear the fabled Mountain Sheep is on the move and is going to reveal something big very soon... Santa was asked not to say a thing, but we already did, didn't we? We didn't say anything about the gameplay footage they gonna say, at least.

Great news, will be on the lookout.

I'm keeping an eye on both of these games, the art style looks very unique, I hope the gameplay is just as unique; there are so many TD games that don't try to do anything different.

[AceFernalld]

Is Hardgore for the iPhone or Mac?

Edit: Nevermind.. that was a dumb question.. but those large images looked like it may have been for the Mac.. xD

There is also a console version of HardGore being made. So it's not difficult to get confused

[Spartan12103]

This looks amazing! I can't wait for it, along with Star Defense. Man, all these great TD's coming out, such as Defender Chronicles.

[mek]

this thread was very entertaining..thank you

look forward to minigore

hardgore looks good
but from that pixel video...you have to run around to place and upgrade towers? may not be the biggest fan of that..i didn't really get into zombie attack, which is what it reminds me of..but it looks like the waves come slow enough

still very interesting though :)

[mebeswordguy]

reminds me of... (http://armorgames.com/play/2818/eternal-red)

I see Hardgore as Minigore meets TD. Manage/Upgrade your defenses while still controlling John Gore? That would be a twist on TD. It would be sweet if so...

Cool, even though its like a Wintery Version of Minigore i still want it so badly and idk why lol

Well they will add winter maps in minigore too... And hopefully they will finish minigore first and THEN start working on hardgore. :D

[playn]

finish minigore :s
i hope they never finish minigore!

[Pug4Death]

I would rather they work on Hardgore as of now, MiniGore's concept or itself weren't so great. Hardgore looks much better.

[playn]

^^ your joking??
look at the upcoming updates

besides, their making hardgore out of minigore. in other words. hardgore is going to be everything minigore is + alot more and a different style of play (TD)

[error]

do you know a price yet for hardgore

[PeterM11]

I still wanna know how exactly the gameplay will work... Its a a TD? But you also Play as John Gore??? Is that it? Do you like set-up towers and then run around shooting too?

[eggzbacon]

I cannot wait for this!

I know, its confusing!

Me = Confused

[dominator246]

Is there a twitter, blogspot, anywhere where the devs are letting news out on this? Can't seem to find a website anywhere lol :)

[tymurt]

oops wrong thread lol sorry thought this was minigore

[MuFFz]

Whatever the case may be, either a TD, or a mixed TD/Shooter, it still would be insane, because if it's gonna be mixed, they have to have LOTS of furries come after you. TONS of furries on the screen always give me a good time. U kno what i'm sayin? lol

[Bluellama1]

do you know a price yet for hardgore
They said somewhere it is definately going to be >$5.00

[godsized]

Maybe it will be like Pixel junk Monsters where you take control of character, a la John Gore, and use him to upgrade your towers, pick up drop items, and cause other random chaos and what not.

[playn]

[AttackOfThePwned]

First rumor is it's a TD then the devs say no it is more like Cannon Fodder game play. Now it is back to being a TD? Color me confused :confused:

[Santa]

Not nearly as confused as Santa. He found this in a bottle. Hard to maintain... our pants. What? Anyway, the shipment was lost and the sparrows came back really angry. Angry with Santa? We guess, but who knows. Not us. Not in the last eight years. You may guess better, more so than we ever did.

[CaseyLay]

I want to see more info on this game. I think I might make it my main TD.

[hdgreen]

i love it when santa posts his updates for games. That was so funny. :)
Guessing alot of work has been done on hardgore already.

[burhke12]

Is it a tower defense chillingo plz reply:)

[hdgreen]

yeah if the blog says it is then i think it will be. Timo knows what he's talking about.

[dominator246]

There's almost little to no information about this game, wish they'd release a video or something. They've had three screenshots over a course of.....4 months? lol

[kickR]

looks cool, i need to try MiniGore!

[CaseyLay]

I'm going to take a shot in the dark here... Hardgore is a game where you must defend the village from furries coming from all directions and/or on a path. You can play as John Gore and shoot around as you did in Minigore. You can also put up towers (guys in the wells with crossbows) and can probably upgrade them by giving them better guns. If not protected well enough with towers, the furries will reach the houses of the village and set them on fire. If the fire is kept going long enough or too many furries get to it, it is death to house. Therefore, you must also hire fire fighters to put out the fire on the burning houses.

So, Mountain Sheep, how close am I?

[Archon]

I hoped it would be similar to "Fat Princess" and remember a comment that the game could develop in this direction.
With their proposed genre "tower defense game", they have probably changed the concept.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_PrincessYeah, everything except for the "take a whole hour to finish a game" thing.

[TimoVihola]

CaseyLay: Haha, that's actually a pretty good guess! :) To "slip" a small technical detail the village can expand and contract according to how well you're doing. Once it's down to one house with only the village idiot alive and screaming nonsense you know you're in deep sh*t hehe

[playn]

^^ haha lol sounds fun and interesting :)

like archon mentioned, if you decide you guys want another project after minigore and hardgore, making a port of fat princess would be very cool :p
or even making a third 'gore' series with a fat princess type theme. i love that game :)

Wow... I think you got it. I would totally buy that.

[hdgreen]

yeah i think thats right about the tower defense except from the photos and descriptions etc you might get to defend against whales and penguins and even santa himself. lol. :D
this is a definate buy for me.

[dominator246]

I hope you can expand the village :) maybe put walls around it, bigger houses, igloos, etc. =)

[hdgreen]

i think it'll be very interesting. Hardland which is where minigore is set is going to get bigger before they finish updating it.

[CaseyLay]

CaseyLay: Haha, that's actually a pretty good guess! :) To "slip" a small technical detail the village can expand and contract according to how well you're doing. Once it's down to one house with only the village idiot alive and screaming nonsense you know you're in deep sh*t hehe

That just sounds totally epic. It was hard to imagine it would be better than Minigore (great game), but now that I have some info on it, it sounds much better.

So about the village's "waxing and waning", do you just do well and the village randomly expands? Or is it a more natural progression (I.E. the safer you keep the village, the more villagers come out and build more houses)?

[Fudgeboy]

Is there a vague release date for Hardgore? Only cos I'm trying to save my last bit of money for it and I think it will be absolutely awesome :)!

[playn]

^^ mountain sheep said they wont start working on hardgore until minigore is finished. so that about 10 episodes away i would say. and at this rate of the appstore approving, it wont start development until january or february next year

correction hardgore is being worked on at the same time.

[CaseyLay]

Oh, good! Playn had me scared for a sec there.

[playn]

correction hardgore is being worked on at the same time.

are you sure??
it doesnt seem too logical to be working on both at the same time.. well to me anyway, especially since they still gotta get episode 3 finished and then co-op done

[Fudgeboy]

I hope hdgreen is right... I don't want to wait ages for this game!!

[hdgreen]

theyre two separate games and im sure the guys can multitask.
Also since we've seen concept art ect that means theyve started some work on it. How far they've actually gone is yet to be seen.
But i remember before minigore was a big game that people were looking forward to there was an image which said mingore second quater of 2009 and hardgore third quater of 2009 so they must have anticipated the need to work on them both at the same time. :D

[MetroGnome217]

can we get a comferamation that both are being worked on

[SoCal_Sponger]

hopefully this game is done when it is released, I dont like waiting months for more content :/. They should atleast give us a far amount to start off with for this game.

[playn]

quote from timo:
Joey H: We're focusing our development efforts heavily on Minigore as there's a large amount of players waiting for the updates. We honestly want to make it the best 99 cents you can spend.

Abandoning the userbase and moving on to develop Hardgore would feel very wrong.

The two games do share a lot of technology so practically every time we do Minigore we're actually doing both :)
so they arnt working on hardgore, only minigore. but in a way its still developing hardgore at the same time since their gonna have similar technology

[NRaider]

quote from timo:

They are focussing in Minigore, not work on it the entire time.

This is taking forever for its release. Same goes for Vampire Origins.

Underline, italics, bold AND colour? No offense dude, but everything you write looks unnecessarily eye-catching. I keep thinking you're trying to warn me of an impending explosion or something.

Does this have anything to do with the also Chillingo-published Minigore?
Yes it does

Like I said in the other Minigore thread:

Making a game and fixing all its bugs is not as easy as it sounds. Especially with the size of Mountain Sheep.
Mountain Sheep is consisted of maybe 20-30 people. They can't catch every single bug like how Gameloft catches them with their 4,000+ people. Give Mountain Sheep time.

Unless, of course, you think that making a game is easy. Go make a game then. Something BETTER than Minigore. If you actually can do that, then you will have proven me wrong.

Until then, think about what you write before you actually do type it.

[SarcasticGamer]

Like i said in the minigore thread a thousand other apps from even smaller are getting through approval bug free! Even that banned Indian devs was able to put out a huge number of apps without a bug! How hard is it to make a one level game bug free gaddamit!

Also you are saying i should make a better game before i critic their game hahahaha! If that's the case every EA/Gameloft critic should also make a better game right? Then it should be a forum requirement to be a dev before signing up! Jeeeez!

[arta]

Like I said in the other Minigore thread:This is what we call the Dairy Farmer defense. If you aren't a dairy farmer, you cannot criticize the milk they give you, even as the spoilt putrid slop is crawling down your throat.

It's a silly argument, especially when you take into account that ALL devs, good and bad, put in a lot of work. It's not an excuse.

[iMick]

I swear never to buy any game from mountainsheep again! The minigore fiasco burns me forever!

lol, minigore isn't bad in it's ep1 state. Remember this game is only 99 cents. Hardgore is going to be much more complete when it comes out, since all the work done on minigore will be used in hardgore and will add TD elements :D

[Delusionaltool]

wow, stop bitching for a 99 cent game, minigore is outstanding in the state its in, the update will be out when its out then all the bitchers will be quiet cause they will be playing the game...hipocrits all of you , theres 7,000+ games on this thing im sure you can do something else in the mean time...

on that note hardgore looks awsome and cant wait to play it, good job MountainSheep

OK now whyare you in the Hardgore thread complaining about Minigore? I mean having your opinion is fine but driving it til its plain annoying is not what these boards about.

[CaseyLay]

Jesus Christ.. See, this is what I mean by the "TA Groove". Ok, I made that up on the spot, but bear with me. I remember when everyone was drooling over Minigore before it came out and even when it was out. But now, everyone's all like "THIS GAEM SUX! MOUNTIN SHEPE R TEH ANTI-CHRIST!" Ok, that's a majorly misspelled hyperbole, but still, bear with me.

It just seems that my brain isn't in tune with most appstore hype. I didn't go crazy over waiting for Minigore, but I still enjoyed the game, at least until A4E got that new update.

I guess what I'm saying is not to read into too much TA hype.

why are you's discussing minigore here....

for the record
Delusionaltool is right. minigore was never meant to be a full episodic game, it was just meant to be a mini-teaser to get us amped up about hardgore. but since minigore got so much hype they thought they would turn it into a major game.

now to the point, what do you expect from a 99cent game? minigore is worth much much more than 99cents at its current state. your getting FREE updates. these updates each are worth 99cents in their own. stop complaining.

Beta tester #3 nice to meet you :) Well we don't care if it's supposed to be just a teaser! The fact remains that some of us bought this because of the promised content! I don't care of this is a 99cc or a 9.99 game, the devs SHOULD give us the promised content! Hire an able programmer if they must, thousand of other apps can get through approval process bug free...it is sheer incompetence that leads to minigore's rejection.

[playn]

yes, they did promise these updates and the fact is the updates are coming. you just have to wait. its not like their faking videos or making the updates and only giving it to beta testers. the updates will come
