    Fellow Gamers!

    We are proud to announce our second title: TIME OF HEROES!

    Time of Heroes is a turn-based strategy game in the fantasy world of Altland!

    The story takes place about 400 years before the happenings in Companions.

    The great war is on and the forces of the evil god Detexx are close to succeed in their conquest of the continent of Altland.

    Elves and dwarves fight valiantly against the hordes of demons and undead, but are on the verge of defeat.

    At this time the northern humans land on the shores of Altland in search of new home. You, the king's son Minos, will lead your people into battle against strange and sometimes gruesome foes. What awaits you, you do not know!

    TRAILER:




    Music and lyrics by the smuttlewerkers!

    If anybody here knows "Warsong" or "Langrisser" you get a good idea of what the gameplay is about.

    For all the others: you control several heroes. Each hero commands units of a certain type (you choose them before the battle starts) and both heroes and units fight against the evil "Hordes of Nether!"

    There will be magic, command range and other stuff we will tell you about as time goes by.

    This game will be universal and available on iPhone/iPod and iPad and iPad 2.
    I will show you some screenshots and concept art right now and post in game video later on.

    This looks very interesting and based off your work with Companions, I know this is going to be another great game. I look forward to seeing this beauty in action. :)

    Are the hero's four supporting units always in the same formation around them? I would have though the hero would always be in the front, shown as leading them.

    thx guys! :)

    @marcus: this is only the start formation. you place your heroes on the map and the troops appear next to them. after that you are free to choose any destination for your units.

    Here now the video I mentioned. I love it when one of the "Mr.T - Trolls" (as we call 'em) hits the mortar dwarf on the head.

    These battle sequences will appear everytime you fight. There will be an option to turn them off completly, but I wouldn't do it. We design the fights to be exciting, and, well, I think we did this very good.:cool:

    the video is without sound. I would advice turning on Slayer or something of the like to enjoy it at the fullest. :D

    Looks promising, is this some kind of RTS?
    Also, any plans for a lite version?

    Are the battle sequences dynamic or predetermined? Like will the player be treated with different battles each time or they'll be the same if the player loads a save file and initiates the same battle? Anyway, it sure as hell looks great to me :D

    WORLD PAINTED IN BLOOD, NO SANCTUARY!!!
    Scream, Aim and Fire by BFMV would be fitting for the video :D

    @spacejoker: it's a turn based game. the battles occur when two units fight against each other. at the moment no lite version is planned.

    @marcus70: yeah, I like that too! :)

    @gunxsword: the battles sequences are dynamic. no two will be the same. :) we designed the battles with a high "wuselfaktor" (roughly translated "hurry-scurry factor") in mind. :D I never listened to BFMV, never heard of them...ah, I'm getting old it seems. :eek: but scream, aim, fire sounds just like what the skeleton archers would like! :D

    :eek::confused::confused::eek: Ok, what? I'm excited because the battles are dynamic but what does this random term have to do with the battle themselves?

    I searched around a bit and found this: Wuselfaktor - the feeling of seeing a lot of tiny people walking around being busy. Add singing birds and wind blowing through the trees and you get a very relaxing experience that appeals to a surprisingly wide audience. At least, in the German-speaking market.

    Is this supposed to influence the battles in anyway? :confused:

    Anyway, will there be beta? Can I participate? :D (iPhone 4)

    hehe, no, the battles aren't affected. what I wanted to say is, that your units go back and forth, flee from each other and other things which will make it fun for the player to watch the battle.

    when we do a beta, we'll post here. not for another month at least.

    Will the heroes be able to level up or equip different upgrades?
