This game could actually rival Starcraft AND Minecraft if completed.

This game has some SERIOUS potential..... goodbye minecraft. Enjoy.

That actually looks pretty damn fun. It better be online though and they better have an option to fast forward things.

I am going to spend the next 6 months of my life promoting this game.

The minute I saw the black UI i was like.

"This shit was made in unity fo sure."

Seriously, I gots dibs on the game genre and marketing strategy: Sandbox RTS. Castle Story Indev. (InfDev, Alpha, Beta, 1.0,...)

Looks pretty cool game. Well, If you like games like these.

 

[tom_mai78101]

I prefer real-time strategies with a mix of "indie"-ness in them. In another sense, it could be called my favorite anticipation from the gaming industry.

If I'm waiting on a real-time strategy and simulation game, I believe Castle Story makes it closer to what I anticipated.

If it is playable online I would definately play this.

Looks awesome!
Cool idea, a fun combination of elements, heh. I look forward to this.

They have a nice little instructional cartoon on their website as well.

I can already tell I am going to love this freaking games. It reminds me of the old Dungeon Keeper but much better and deeper. It sounds like what Dungeon Keeper was billed as.

I am intrigued.

In my opinion:

1. The game/castle editor part should allow you to pick the material and type of block and simply point click (just like the "phantom" blocks are placed) . Having to wait for some yellow thingies to climb, walk/run, gather resource, etc. is boring.

2. An intuitive (pictures etc.) UI (not some menu/buttons) for the castle building could work great. Then after creatures/players attack you or something you get resource [ex: from the 'dead' bodies of the creatures? =)] automatically. I really don't like the whole worker management.

3. Is it really necessary that the world/map should be flying islands only? What's so bad with just simple terrain? More terrain types (grass, rock, snow [snow is a must! =)]) is surly required.

4. I think some rpg/stats elements [castle/bricks leveling anyone =)] would do great as well.

Keep in mind this is only an early alpha. Also, regarding 3, I think they use it as a convenient way of going around infinite depth. Bottom of the island = death by fall. Also, they will probably add more terrain types later on.

In response to point 1... I believe that's the entire point. Having the "Bricktrons" climb, walk, gather resources, and place them is why it's interesting. If it was just point-click-creation, that's been done a lot more than having actual workers assemble piece by piece.
