Thanks! We're glad to be back working on it. Much happier with the overall design and direction. We are going to start working on a few different mechanic demos over the next month or two to try and nail down how this game will be played.
The updated design process was slow and deliberate this time around. Focusing more on character personality and quick character recognition by utilizing both specific silhouettes and colors. Basically wanting the player to know what character is what without needing any time to think about it.
We still have a ways to go to make sure the actual game mechanics is fun, fresh, and full of enough variety while also maintaining the core, self-sacrifice, game play strategy.
It's going to be a long road but it'll be worth it to produce a studio quality game to put out to market.
We also plan to produce a few short animated toons featuring the characters ahead of the game to show off who they are and what they do in an entertaining way. Should be a lot of fun!
Thanks! Um, so far we will be using GS to test mechanics and what have you since it's so quick to prototype. We'd really like to give Graphene a go for this game but who knows when that will hit Beta or if we'll even get a beta. That's all up to @CodeWizardwink wink
Ha ha ha! @Benjamin_m5 don't worry. It's happening this year. We are focusing on mainly this. We've established a timeline and we're ~60% done creating assets already. Once we get to around 80% assets completion we'll produce and release a animated short teaser trailer.

Looking forward to this, I am a big Deadly Serious Media fanboy!
I love the new art style. So is this game still being developed using GameSalad?

Genius! Such an awesome trailer, man!
Icon time!
I love that!

Love the icon. Very cool!
Is it ok that every time I see this I read it as ZOMG pronounced(Zomgie)?
Thank everybody! Wheels are really starting to move now! We are prototyping now and so far the gameplay is super fluid! So excited!
@gamestudent Ha ha! Call it what you like! Zomgie, Zoh my god, I've heard a few different interpretations.
Watch out now! They're on the move!
Those little peeps better build up some defenses!
Isolated run cycles!
Superb! Good luck with it.

Still waiting for this...
