    At the very least the 6s will be running 60fps with everything on high. We're still running performance tests and optimizations on other devices, so should have a more definitive answer before launch.

    Just to be sure, this isn't a hardcore shooter... there are certainly more elements of depth than a clicker, but - like a clicker - there are times where you build up your DPS to a point where you can breeze through portions of the game (for ex after prestiging several times, the starting waves will be a breeze). In that regard, I would call this game an "idle shooter" at certain times. However, you can also tailor your experience to how you want - for ex you can certainly spend your money upgrading your manual weapons more than your support units and auto firing weapons, and fare just as well if you prefer to play that way. Also the harder the wave, the more attention the game will demand from you (focusing mostly on situational awareness, taking out specific priority enemy types, and basic weapon management).

    Yep, lots of enemy types with different behaviors. Units are all animal based (frogs, toads, iguanas, mice, birds, skinks, etc).

    Interesting... Possibly taking place in the Bug Heroes universe?

    This looks too real to be Bug Heroes, not to say that Bug Heroes doesn't have its own charm haha

    Yep, definitely a more realistic style!

    Fixed position, by design (not bc of any limitations).

    I say you just hit that release button. Lol. Or send out some test flights. I really can't wait to try this game out. You guys really make fantastic stuff

    And let me tell you I absolutely love the idea that it's fixed. No need to slide or any of that. Aim that reticle and hit the target. Bam. With what looks like awesome visuals and explosions.

    Really really awesome. I don't even care what the price is. I don't even understand how you charged so little for your last game. Truthfully I feel I owe you guys lol.

    So excited for this! Sounds like a Block Fortress where you control the fort instead of a mobile character.
    Will you be posting beta info here?

    sorry for OOT, but any chance dev for a full fledge bug heroes rpg adventure? a premium one. im so in love with BH until now :)
     
  13. I beat Bug Heroes Quest for the 4th time a month or so ago. When you get to the end against the Scorpion King with your super high level bugs... It's pretty awesome stuff.

    I do love the bros trying out some different scope games, like All is Lost and this one... I know it's always good for the creative juices to try and experiment and not always aim for massive, super wide and deep experiences.

    Hopefully the unnanounced but C'MON SERIOUSLY ITS COMING new Block Fortress will only benefit from taking a break from the huge games and coming back to it!

    I think H&C2 definitely came at the right time and hopefully in another couple years we'll see another take at the H&C universe.

    Yeah Bug Heroes Quest is still prob my favorite FM game even though they are all just so great. I love the exploration and the leveling up of each character. Yeah I bet their next game is Block Fortress 2

    Dont worry, this isn't a company paradigm shift... we had a really slow year last year (releasing only HC2) due to some things, so we're just working our way back into the groove, which includes getting some smaller scope games out in the meantime, between bigger launches. That being said, we're very proud and excited about all our games, big and small!

    Too bad BHQ was such a flop... the reality is the Bug Heroes franchise is more about a small group of passionate players, then something that can really sell itself. I personally love the franchise and would love to revisit it, but can't make any guarantees...

    I can also say BF2 will not be our next game - next game will be a new IP (action/RPG) - you'll see the announcement for that game in the next few weeks ;)

    I translated that to Ocarina of Time :p

    Also sorry for 'OOT' but what about Monster Adventures? How did that sell in comparison to your other games? I know a lot of us want a remake but I'm just wondering if it's plausible if it's the same case as bug heroes :eek:
