New Aldorlea game coming soon

[Tomas]

80 characters, waves of enemies, Maniac mode ... I'm in.

Will the battles be "classical" turn-based? Or more like in Heroes of M&M? I.e. turn-based, with moving on a hexagonal field?

P.s. You once mentioned a "more strategy-like" game called Aerack. Is YAWE Aerack?

You'll have a great and highly addictive time ahaha

No, it's classical. What changes is the overall "structure", the way you send Generals to defeat enemies.
It's tactical because you must always think of the most adapted "Army" (a General and his Troops) to defeat a certain enemy side.

Nope... Aerack is kinda lost, less chances to see the light of the day than Little Hearts lol

[Cassiopeia]

are you sure it won't paralyze YOU?

Only if you don't give us proper equipment to prevent that!

But in a newsletter some time ago you said Little Hearts WILL be released, no?

[Indinera]

It's likely to be, yes. It's fairly advanced. Aerack however has been scraped for good.

Now that I think about it, what kind of engine is the game on: XP or Ace? It's really hard to tell since you guys combine stuff so fluidly, it really works. For example: the King's Heroes & The Book of Legends.

And if it is on the XP, I kinda hope we get to see some characters from other Aldorlea games return as cameo. That would be rather interesting in a game with 80+ characters.

Thanks, I strive to be a good game designer.
YOU is on XP.

Not for the time being (I won't be a trickster about this lol)
I really wanted YOU to be full stand-alone, have its own little "strategy" world.
It's not impossible that spin offs could pop up, if the main game is well received.

[Tomas]

YOU is on XP.

So more similar to LF in visuals?

As for the battles and picking up the right generals - will it be a similar system to selecting parties for splits / boss fights (LF, TBOL)?

I'd say it's similar to none of my other games, visually

It's more strategic than this IMO
I'm trying to write the instructions manual (different from the guide), I can release it earlier than the game if I pull it off right

[Tomas]

Any news about YOU?

I suppose it's planned for May now.

[Indinera]

It's very close. Waiting for a few "outside" things.
