First of all, nice to see people are already wishlisting CotE based on the small amount of content and info we've released. It really helps motivate the team along the way.
What is Children of the Eclipse, then? Well! At it's core, it's a hardcore, old school top down shooter. On top of that, we're telling an action-filled sci-fi adventure story about a dude and his robot companion, crossing paths with cyborg zombies, scientist cats, talking rocks and horny, interplanetary aliens.
We really want to merge a hardcore shooter with grand adventure and an actually fun, intelligent and engaging storyline. Don't ask us why, just enjoy the ride.
That said, we are preparing some new gameplay footage for your viewing pleasure. We're going to mostly focus on a surface look at the core features of the game.. in the following weeks, we want to show a bit more about the world and the characters that inhabit it. There will also be some in-depth looks at the development of the game - it's been a pretty interesting journey so far and hopefully we get to share some of that fun with you, too!
Let's try to generate some action on this community forum! You're the early adopters and the start of all good things for a small games studio (no audience, no studio!), so it would be awesome to engage in any kind of discussion with you guys.
See you soon!
Cheers,
Ari The Nut
