WWC: "Did you ever pretend to command armies of Lego (or Mega Bloks if your parents didn’t love you) within buildings that you crafted as a child? Did you ever wish you could? If so, then Castle Story by Sauropod Studio is probably right up your alley. It’s a real-time strategy game which is voxel-based. You can command workers to gather resources, and then they will physically pick up said resources and carry them to the designated area that you assigned. Through this system, you can build fortresses out of a combination of wood and stone. The possibilities are endless."
The Humble Québec Indies Bundle just launched today. It features games like Jotun: Valhalla Edition, Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation, Castle Story, and more.
A Kickstarter, almost four years of Early Access, and five years of development: strategy game Castle Story is finally upon us with a 1.0 launch.
In her session at Casual Connect Europe 2015, My N. Tran showed us how Storm8 brought Castle Story back from the dead and soaring into the iTunes’ Top 100 Grossing charts. A piece of knowledge she offered was this, “When you have a limited number of actions in your game, a compelling narrative is essential for maintaining player engagement”.
