Thanks again to Nickq2007, Death, Dex, and Echo for helping us test. Twas fun. Overall I think it was a sucess with no game stopping bugs. Everyone had fun playing, which is good, so we'll continue working on Castle. I also got some good feedback. We majorly need to work on the tutorial and ways to make the game easier to understand, and more fun for people playing solo.

Also, if you'd like to follow what me and Micah do, we have a site up at www.pocketsizedanimations.com. Micah writes comics, tutorials, news about our games, and philosophical poems when he has nothing to do at work.

Thank you to everyone who helped out,
Corey

It's up and ready for you guys. I'd recommend playing the tutorial map before an actual game so you can learn the ropes. Please post your feedback as a comment here instead of messaging me so that I can always find it again.

Enjoy! =D

Hey ya'll,
Sunday at 8PM Eastern (tonight) is when we will start a testing event. We are going to try and get some games of 4 players going. Please, please, post a comment here if you know your going to make it so we can get an idea of who will be there! It's ok if your not able to make it, as it is still playable singleplayer and you can always grab a friend to play. We would like feedback on your playing experience and your thoughts, so as long as we get that, its all good. The game will be downloadable hopefully afew hours before the testing event so everyone can get ready. I will post another announcement with a link when it's ready. If you have any questions, comment or message me.

Thanks again to everyone, we appreciate it,
-Corey

Thanks for helping us test Castle! Let me explain alittle bit about the game.

Castle is a fast paced FPS strategy game. Players must lay magical traps to defend an ancient relic from waves of knights under the control of a greedy lord. It's up to 4 players co-op. Players must work together and place traps accordingly so that their layout is effective.

Each player spawns with a set amount of traps. Traps are replenished after an enemy triggers a placed one so you'll never run out. There are 6 waves, each one getting slightly more difficult, with time inbetween to plan. Enemies continually spawn during a wave, so you must constantly be on your toes, positioning traps on the fly and coordinating with your teammates. Enemies have 2 objectives: To kill you and to steal the relic. The game ends when all players are dead, the relic is taken out of the castle, or the players survive all 6 waves.

This build is pre-alpha. All content is unfinished and WIP. The game concept is somewhat original so we are primarily testing the gameplay to see if it's enjoyable. Secondarily we are testing for any gameplay bugs and feedback on features.

We hope to have the build up next weekend. More information will be posted as the week goes on.

Thanks again for helping us out!

Your friendly neighborhood dev,
