Gremlins, Inc.

[gfycat data_id="ClosedReflectingBarnacle"][gfycat data_id="FeminineUntimelyJackrabbit"][gfycat data_id="UntimelyMiniatureAmericanbobtail"]

“An intense strategy board game in a steampunk world of corrupt capitalist gremlins who compete for money, political power and prestige. Steal resources, extort bribes, manipulate elections, arrest other players and send them telegrams of misfortune…”

The developers also did a nice post mortem on the time the game spent in Early Access, as well as a breakdown of localizing the game into 12 different languages, and how each paid off (or didn’t). If you’re into game development, definitely a good read.

The game is a sequel to the flash game Kingdom, with improved art and mechanics, and a wider world to explore. You can play the original in your browser here.

You can take a look at how the water was made here.

“A wise King knows that his kingdom will fall.
A brave King does not despair.
A great King knows that his riches can rule,
But spends every penny with care.”

Battle of Brothers, Untitled by Chris Campbell, with art by Scott Pellico.

A mobile turn based game strategy game, taking influences from Final Fantasy Tactics and Banner Saga.

Battle of Brothers is a competition between Chris and Ryan Campbell to see who can make the most (financially) successful game in the same time frame while using the same budget, and also while learning game development. Both games are still untitled at the moment, but are scheduled to be finished in April (after one year of development).

I have already decided the winner. ;)

You can see Ryan’s game here. Which do you prefer so far?
