TinyWars Theme Song is Released

TinyWars Theme Song is Released 1920 1080 andrew

This weekend, we have released the official theme song for the game. We hope to begin the transition from our gameplay prototype on to more substantive content relating to the game’s incredible story that will hopefully be a memorable journey for everyone.

However, TinyWars is not all about cute anime girls fighting cute monsters. As you listen to the song, imagine not only the cuteness, but also the journey the characters will go through. Imagine the loss and hardship and the beautiful things they will discover along the way and try to remember that there is a lot more beneath the surface of this game.

Album Cover Artwork

The album cover artwork depicts Mary standing on the sheet music. You can very clearly observe by the sewing needle in her hand (as the conductors wand) and the size of the sheet music, that Mary is a tiny person. We tried to make this cover artwork something that would look very simple and processional, something we could envision as a CD cover for an official music CD.

We have a lot more to discuss regarding sound design and how it will help to tell the story of our game, but for now please enjoy our theme song! Be sure to get the latest updates, follow us on Facebook!

Figure Update #1

Figure Update #1 2000 1125 andrew

We’ve been teasing some 3D character models on our social media and game development groups, a lot of people have been asking about them? Obviously from the image above, we’ve created actual, physical figures! (prototypes)

It’s really an interesting feeling to see our own characters go from vague ideas, to hand drawn sketches, to detailed 2D renderings and finally to become a physical toy. This is definitely a milestone that is going to be remembered by all the people involved in this game!

The general idea with this figure was to create a little motivational trophy we could keep around and look at while we work. This was never meant to be something for mass production! Since posting some pictures and teasing about these figures on social media, a lot of people have been asking if we would be making more and have even offered to buy these from us! I’m flattered that people like our character enough to want to buy a tiny figure of them, that’s really awesome!

If we created some cute figures, they could definitely serve as a small vehicle to fund the development of TinyWars! I think that would be a really nice thing for us. However, current funds for our game development is already pretty tight as it is! If we were to take a gamble at mass producing some figures we would be very low on development funds, which means these would have to sell fast or else development of the game could rely on how fast the figures sell! (Mass producing is the only way we would be able to sell these at a reasonable price and turn a decent enough profit to significantly contribute to the development of our game.)

We have a development budget, we have a marketing budget, physical figures for sale was never a factor that we thought would actually take off as an alley for funding. Now that I think about it more, this could be something we’d definitely be interested in pursuing. We would probably have to take a lot of pre-orders first before we could be confident in paying high prices to mass produce these cuties! Currently we have about total 1000 fans on social media, we are still VERY early in development, I didn’t expect artwork alone to bring in huge crowds, we still have a long way to grow.

Perhaps in the future, if we have a larger fan base and more specific interest in these figures, I’d love to open some sort of pre-orders program. Putting these figures in the hands of fans who love our game would be a dream come true, and if it means additional funds to build this awesome game, all the better! 🙂

We’re so early in development, I don’t want to reveal too much about the gameplay yet, which is why all these posts have been about artwork and figures. I’ll leave this one image here, this is an asset from the game, enjoy! And thanks for reading and keeping updated with the development of TinyWars! If you scrolled down this far and only looked at the pictures that’s fine too! …better follow our social media at least.
