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!

We have a new character brewing! We have mixed a few different design elements into this girl to make her cuteness a little more potent. We hope that you will find her backstory to be a refreshing twist of both happy and depressing ingredients.

We’ve been mixing many new features into the demo that we’ve been teasing on this blog. We will share a new blog post focusing specifically on that demo, but I think you’ll appreciate all the work we put into cleaning up the graphics and expanding the possibilities in the world!

Three Possible Designs

Choose Character 2b

We asked our fans on Facebook and Twitter about 3 possible different designs of this character, design #3 received the most love!

 

 

However, we did in fact end up choosing #1 as the design, there is a multitude of reasons behind our decision making, ultimately it ties down to this characters personalty! We really do enjoy seeing what the rest of our fan base has to say about the designs, it’s very interesting to hear people’s ideas and we appreciate all the feedback.

Even though we ended up choosing a certain design over another, doesn’t mean certain details that people liked from the other designs won’t make it into the final!

Work In Progress, Design #1

Here’s a work in progress of this potion girl, she’s very cute and probably one of my favorite characters in terms of design and her story. We hope you will be fascinated by our game’s story, because that is possible the strongest point of this project, next to the amazing music of course!

Yes, OK, I admit it, tower defense is just tower defense… but we’re trying our best to “innovate” as much as we can! I promise it will be challenging and fun! But in terms of differentiating ourselves from other TD games out there, you should find the fascinating story and music to be a big factor!

Thank you for following our development!

 

What is TinyWars All About?

What is TinyWars All About? 2264 1080 andrew

TinyWars is about people that are tiny, and their wars, which are also relatively tiny.

A Tiny Story

TinyWars is, at its core, a story, a journey and discovery of the “tiny people” as they journey through their world and learn about things which are greater than themselves. TinyWars is both a tale about the tiny kingdom, which is under attack throughout the game as it is also a tale of the main character, Mary, as she learns to grow up, fight against those who think she is small and young, and as she pursues her journey to save the tiny kingdom.

This is Mary!

Tower Defense

The game is a tower defense game, featuring not hundreds of small, easy levels but rather a few carefully designed levels all different in their own way. We aim to bring the challenge level of TinyWars to a higher degree, requiring users to not mindlessly place towers but to carefully think, budget, and place their units wisely. All the aspects of a tower defense game ingeniously parallel the aspects of the story and “learning to grow up.”

Parallels with Life

Part of growing up means one must learn to manage their finances wisely. One must learn when to speak up and when to be quiet, when the right time to act is and when it’s not the right time to set out your most powerful unit! And where to be at what time. Careful consideration must be put into all of your “moves” in life. And that it can be at times, impossible to predict what will be in the “next wave” that life throws at you. All these things must be taken into account, whether you are playing a tower defense game or just growing up.

Irresistibly Fascinating

I hope you will find the story of TinyWars to be clever, enchanting, cute, and irresistibly fascinating! Though we do go into great depths and folklore, most of the story is easy to digest and very accessible to any casual player. The deepest and darkest pits of the story are available to those who truly want to know more, in the form of in-game notes which can be collected and read. And sometimes these notes may contain secrets or tips on how to beat a future level. – Just another fact of growing up, those who read may be able to get an advantage or more insight over those who don’t!

How Can I Learn More?

Who are all these cute girls? How can I know more about them when the game is still very far from release? And this is something we hope to be able to tease, explore and release various bits and pieces of the story for all to enjoy! Perhaps it will curate interest in our game and perhaps it will give people a better idea of the game before they know if they really like it or not. Seeing pictures of cute girls may not be enough to get people to like our game of course! But if you see the cute girls, hear the amazing soundtrack, and know a little about our story and still don’t like TinyWars, then I’m afraid something may be wrong with YOU! (not sorry…)

Feel free to join us on our development journey and see all the bread crumbs and updates we post along the way!
