Castle Siege:
A Massive online battle Arena (MobA) style game involving 3 teams, Orcs Elves and Humans. The teams work against each other to defeat a natural team the fastest. Players choose from a number of champions, level up and buy items to increase their power so that they can help their team destroy the neutral team or prevent the other teams from doing so.
Castle Siege is currently being developed as a map in the WarCraft III map editor. The map is playable and is iterating though testing, fixing bugs, balancing champions and adding new champions and items. The map is currently on version 1-4.
In near future father iterations are expected to be made, further balancing and adding new content.
In the distant future I hope to create a new platform for the game, with networking, 3D capability and possibly an in game store or metagame levelling system.
“That Castle Game”:
Currently this game only has a working title. This game is a card based game where each player controls a royal family, including their castle, land and troops, and strives to earn prestige. Players can wrest territories from other players, trade, forge political marriages attack each other’s castles or venture into a dungeon to earn their country fame and fortune.
This game is currently in the form of a paper prototype. Numerous testing sessions have occurred; main focuses are attempting to simplify combat, balance attacking castles with attacking land and levelling troops. Also playing around with rules for capturing and executing heroes.
In the near future testing will continue implementing prospective rules to see if they are balanced and fun. When this is done, I plan to program the game in C++ on Brent’s engine, in conjunction with Jesse Fogel.
In the far future I plan to have a releasable version available for purchase.
Unnamed Card Game:
This is a trading card game designed to simulate small scale battles in a quasi-realistic fashion. It breaks the battlefield into the centre and 2 flanks, by breaking though any of these a player can damage the enemy directly. The game experiments with costs of cards, based on the theory that cards do not have a cost to play to the field, rather a cost to draw the card from the deck. The system also allows drawing multiple bad cards in a turn or a single good card, allowing the player to access the situation and decide which they need each turn.
This game is currently on the back burners, latest development included limited testing with a paper prototype and preliminary coding in C++, using the DeviL engine. There are no current plans to continue developing this game, although I would like to continue development of it after the castle game is complete.
