Greetings gladiators! As many of you know, I'm taking a (hopefully well earned) break from the long running [i]Swords and Sandals[/i] series to recharge and restore my creative capital. I am definitely keen to return bigger and better than ever with more gladiatorial action in the next few years, but until them I've been working away at another game dev project since May this year. Behold, [i][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2446920/Gorgon_Shield/]Gorgon Shield[/url][/i]! This is an idea I've been sitting on for nearly a decade. Imagine if you will, four heroes climbing a tower on a shield. For much of the game, you don't control the heroes directly, instead you rotate the shield. If your barbarian faces the Melee platform, they will automatically attack. Face the healing platform and they will heal, and so on. YOU must manage these heroes in ever-more challenging situations as the tower rises. Waves of enemies throw themselves at you, you will encounter mysterious NPCs, shops and scenarios that could be the difference between a successful run and the shield collapsing into ruin. But that's not all. Expect top down dungeon crawling where you control up to FOUR heroes at once. Side scrolling auto-battling against the relentless creatures of Greek mythology. And much more. It's rogue-lite gameplay meets puzzle action, RPG lite, fast paced action. I'm confident you've [i]never seen anything quite like this.[/i] The gorgon Medusa and her sisters await you!

Wishlists are of course the life and blood of a game's success on Steam, and I'd hugely appreciate the Swords and Sandals community's support with [i]Gorgon Shield[/i] as I work hard to get this game out. [i]Gorgon Shield[/i] is planned for launch in April 2024, with a demo hopefully coming next month.
