Your feedback is very important to us, tell us what you think!





Goal of the Game 

 

Highlands is a turn-based strategy game set high up in the clouds. You play the heirs of a powerful family. After being sent in exile by your foes who sneakily took over your flying citadel with an army of treacherous swarm bots, you need to regain what is rightfully yours, find powerful allies and rally the population on the way.


Gameplay


Strategic Warfare: you must wisely decide which sectors are going to be defended and held and which ones are going to be regretfully abandoned to the enemy in order to push new frontlines. Special buildings will help you in your quest by opening up new options and giving you the extra help you need to confront the enemy in battle.




Resources management: your army needs leadership, morale, food and other resources to get stronger and advance in the game.  As it marches on it will unlock new territories and production areas where individual characters will be able to use their skills and gather resources.


Combat: where the two armies finally meet!  A simple card-game style of gameplay where your characters will be put to the ultimate test by destroying the invaders' forces.

It's Color Script Time!

 Good news everyone!
We're currently finishing the first floor of Highlands, and it's pretty exciting. We'll probably show some in-game screenshots in the next blogpost or so.

However, we have some pretty awesome concept sketches to show you today. We're working on the color script of the next levels in the game, and I think we captured something very interesting and moody. What do you guys think?

Behind the scene - PART ONE

It's the middle of the week, and we thought we'd do a little special post to show you guys some ''behind the scene'' pictures. Beware, very uninteresting content ahead.

The Boring Part: Working

This week's blogpost is chaotic.

Booya!

This week we worked on various game assets and we thought we'd show you a little sneak peek of everything we've done.

Let's begin with some concept art and sketches for the enemies; the swarms.

We also worked on various mockups for the map.
We decided to change the ''corridor'' concept to a more organic ''sector'' concept. The map is still evolving and we're currently trying to break the angles with various props.




Finally, we (finally) came up with a design for Leoric, one of the main characters!
We did dropped the fabulous hips, but he's still a delicate flower... oh well, that's why we love him!

That's all for today. Have a good weekend y'all!
