[b]"This is madness.... this is V0.5 of GORGON SHIELD![/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44221347/f8ac76509977d5682230aae44d76d639db00c8bd.gif[/img] Greetings, brave heroes! Been a few months since the first demo for Gorgon Shield went up, and I got a ton of really useful feedback from you guys - so firstly, you have my thanks. At the start of the year, I decided I needed to bite the bullet and redo some of the systems that just weren't working in the game to make it feel more dynamic, more strategic, basically more engaging. So, here's what's new in the latest version of the game. The MAJOR addition is the new labyrinth mode, a full 'Gauntlet 2' style dungeon to explore behind some of the tower's doors. There's also a totally reworked levelling up and power system - meaning you get a LOT more control over your heroes development. Want a Barbarian specialising in hamstringing your enemies, and another with the Berserk power? Or two wizards, one with lighting, one with fire? Now you can. Oh yeah, and there's a full loot system in the game. Magic rings, gauntlets, capes and more. I'd love for you to check out this new version of the game and give me more invaluable feedback. The game's scheduled to launch this July and I've still got a lot more systems, minigames and additions to add. "This is but a taste of the terror Medusa will unleash!" (to paraphrase Gandalf!)
