Great News! Heroes of Rune was Nominated for “Most Promising Upcoming Game Award” at Casual Connect, SF - Indie Prize Showcase! We didn’t win, but I will still take it as a win and confirmation of heading in the right direction! = )
I think you are a very skilled gamedev (have the UnityAGK and seen you around before) but for this preview I have some criticism:
Combat mechanics didn’t show anything besides point and click. I think you need to really spend time on the ability system, otherwise it just looks like very boring interactions right now.
Visuals and art style is same-old same-old. Nothing we haven’t seen before. I think you could make a much more original style and capture more interest.
I think you have a lot of talent in making games so I just want to see you succeed on this one
Thanks for the Feedback, really appreciate it. Regarding the Combat, yes it is very Basic right now because I am only showing the Alpha Demo in that Gameplay Preview Trailer. We are working on the Combat System, so much more to come.
Regarding art style… I wish I could invest more on this, but it would cost me an arm and a leg to hire full-time artists to revamp the art style. I think we can manage to do something new and exciting with the gameplay style we are aiming for. So for now, the art style will not change, but the gameplay will definitely be something to keep an eye on if you like MMORPG and MOBA style games.
