So this is the game that you guys have been secretly working on... Awesome! This had better be as awesome as N.Y.Z.!
We are so excited about Bug Heroes... we are really pushing the level of depth without sacrificing playability... we'll release more game specifics and mechanics next week. After that we'll release a steady dose of new details/information/screen shots the following weeks.
It is. That is definitely the "primary" genre, but its far from simply being another dual stick shooter.
Sounds great! Even games like Guerilla Bob and Pirate's Treasure didn't bring that much variety to the genre. From the sounds of things, if this goes as planned (which I'm sure it will), this will bring some desperately-needed depth and variety to dual-stick shooters.
So this is a guess: The RPG part weapons will include customizable weapons and your character can level up similar to Alive-4-ever RETURNS The Castle Defense part will probably have you defending something(Probably has something to do with the storyline) And dual stick shooter will be the controls right?
im thinking you have to set up defenses ( those worms etc.) before they attack and then attack their base with dual stick shooting. rpg will be upgrading defenses, defenders and your shooting... just a guess
That centipede's just adorable. I'm definitely thinking you should make plushies. I could just eat the widdle guy right up!
Awesome. I've been wondering what you guys have been working on. N.Y. Zombies was amazing so I cannot wait to see how you mix all these genres together.
Thanks everyone Uploading a new teaser to Youtube now, which will be done in a few hours... slowest. upload. speed. ever... sigh. Anyway once its up I'll explain more about the primary game mechanics and how Bug Heroes is really going to make some cool changes to the traditional dual stick gameplay
The Heroes Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Note: all of the models, textures, and animations in this trailer are taken DIRECTLY from the actual game, with little to no modifications. One of the really exciting features of Bug Heroes is the deep mix of RPG elements not traditionally found in dual stick shooters... A primary game play elements of the game is the ability to instantly switch between any of the three heroes at any time to deal with any situation you might find yourself in (with over 20 enemy types, there will be a LOT of depth with how you decide to manage your heroes vs enemies). In this regard its almost like an RPG party system. Each hero can level up independently and improve their 4 unique stats (such as health, speed, stunning abilities, and lots of other cool things). They can also buy and equip different equipment and skills, again unique to each character. One of the other cool features is that as you level up and equip certain pieces of equipment, you will see a visual change in your character. Now onto the heroes! Beetle: The last of the Beetle Clan, he is a heavily armored tank which uses large AOE attacks perfect for knocking back and squashing hordes of smaller bugs like fleas and ants. His thick armor allows him to brush off their attacks even when surrounded by 20-30 at once... Spider: A quick, high damage but vulnerable assassin from the Widow Clan, who has joined the trio of heroes for his own secret reasons. His attacks can devastate single, high HP targets and cut through armor like butter, but are not so great vs masses of smaller enemies where he can easily be overwhelmed. Ant: One of the few remaining ants not a slave, Ant is an engineer and ranged specialist, using advanced technology and gadgets to set up defenses or fire away at long range. He relies on his skills and equipment perhaps more then the other heroes, and like Spider, can easily be overwhelmed if not managed carefully. Well, that's the basics for the three heroes! Next week we'll go into a little more detail about the "castle defense" part and how the actual game is structured (modes, leader boards, and things like this). As always, questions and feedback is much appreciated
