Tony D and myself wanted to share our latest work with you guys. Tic Tac Tower, The world's first Tic Tac Toe RPG. I had the idea for this game when "powdering my nose", if you will, in a restroom stall at the Bakersfield Airport business park in of the hangars. There was no air conditioning and it was at least a 110 degrees in the restroom. I found myself glaring down at the square tiled floor when the idea came to me. I don't know if it was the universe sending me the inspiration or if was it simply because I was about to pass out from heat exhaustion!? Regardless of Tic Tac Tower's humbling beginnings we are ready to start sharing it with you and we hope you will like what you see so far! Let us know if you have any questions! Recent Image of the Fire Tower Story The Royal Xnights of the Xingdom defend the realm by use of the four towers. Each tower protecting one the four corners of the land. The evil Ork Captain coveting these lands for himself is always scheming against the Xnights to capture the Towers and turn them against them. Late one night when the youngest of the Xnights, Sir Xandor, was supposed to be guarding the tower keys, fell asleep. Always watchful and waiting for the right moment the Ork Captain snuck by the sleeping guardian and snatched up the keys. Sir Xandor awakens to find the keys missing and Towers in the control of the Ork Captain, his four lieutenants and their horde of monsters. Help Sir Xandor reclaim control of each Tower in this Tic Tac Toe RPG hybrid. Battling your way to the top of each tower and defeating the Ork Captain’s four Lieutenants. Basic Game play Gif Overview Player moves across dungeon by connecting three (Tic Tac Toe) squares together, Direction you move in is determined in the last move’s direction from starting square to landing square in 8 directions. Each move you make will be followed by a move from the Ork forces whom will begin to occupy squares around you. Reach the stairs in each dungeon floor to climb to the next level. Make sure to watch your health and keep the enemy Ork forces from getting three enemies in row or your mission will be short lived. Collect coins and gems scattered throughout the dungeon, allowing you to buy items of use to aid Xandor and crew in their quest like Potions, weapons, and magic sigils. Coming Soon for iOS App store and Google Play https://www.facebook.com/TicTacTower/ https://clickteam.itch.io/tic-tac-tower
Lol...beeeen there buddy Powdering tha nose eh? Inspiration springs forth from the combination of euphoria and finding oneself in odd and uncomfortable situations; been there =D I have actually thought about tic tac toe as a possible mechanic for a mobile rpg/strategy type game before, glad to see someone has had a similar idea and is actually putting it into action! Love the idea, so far it looks great, let us forum rats here know if you need any beta testers! Sid
Looks good This looks really cool. I can't wait to see more of the game in action. If you need any beta testers count me in!
Glad the intial reaction is positive! This week are working on intergrating the rest of the Royal Xnights into the game, currently we have planned 6 different Xnights to fight the Orc horde with. Xandor is available at the beginning and you can unlock new ones with Gems. Here is a little about them... Sir Xandor Special: Attacks with light hits at enemies as he slides by, when moving around board. Sir Xavier Special: Lands a medium hit to any enemy in the grid next to his final destination in the direction he is moving. Sir Xerxes Special: Hammer attack can smash breakables with one hit. Dame Xandra Special: Dagger attack has high chance of poisoning a enemy. Dame Xenia Special: Shoots arrow at all enemies in gameplay area when moving Xia Special: hits all bordering enemies with single hit
Bakersfield??? How awful that you had to be there, LOL! But great for us. THis looks like a great game.
I take it you have been to Bakersfield then? I took a programming job for creating data collection apps for Android and iOS which brought me out here for the oil industry. Did some cool stuff with it. They recently promoted me to self employed after we successfully delivered the final product. So yeah I am stuck here it would seem for now. Hopefully will show some of the Xnights it action by saturday!
Okay this looks really Xciting. But lets cut to the chase # Payment model please.... Freemium, or Premium? ... any iap's?
important question, first of all I hate freemium, hate it. However the nut in the trail mix is, I can't compete with premium title. My last title that was premium did next to no sales. SOOO... We are attempting to model our freemium offering after the idea of spending cash only enhances the gameplay and nothing prevents you from playing should you not use IAP's. There will be no Timers or blocks from you playing. Once we have a bit more balance in place I will go in to details about how are plan for it will work. Hope that will abate any fears!
Lets just say that it sounds more positive than negative. # Personally I don't mind games that are free to begin with but then have an iap of some sort that turns the game into a premium experience. Something along the lines of a demo is my absolute preference. I hope you manage to get the purchase model right as it is unfortunately extremely hard for indie devs to make a profit these days.
New GIF coming soon, I hope tomorrow. Will be a snapshot of the Ice Tower. In the mean time, anyone feeling charitable please take the time to follow our game at these friendly neighborhood locations! https://www.facebook.com/TicTacTower/ https://clickteam.itch.io/tic-tac-tower
Ice Tower WIP Here is a WIP view of the Ice Tower, I am unsure if I like the snow effect and I think we still have some UI contrast issues. But wanted to post it and get some opinions should you be willing to share them https://www.facebook.com/TicTacTower/ https://clickteam.itch.io/tic-tac-tower
It has got my attention. Please implement screen rotation in the game. I have the big iPad Pro and it's mounted in a stand and a lot of portrait games without screen rotation have the lightning connection at the bottom of the screen, and I am unable to charge the iPad while playing. I need to have the connection at the top. Thanks.
