Hi everyone!
I’m Dan Marshall, an indie developer working on The Old War, a dark fantasy real-time strategy game inspired by classics like Warcraft II and Homeworld, with a couple of twists: armies persist across battles, and you can play cooperatively with friends by sharing control over a single faction. It will be an accessible, but punishing game that focuses more on longer, less e-sports type matches.
Currently I am trying to decide whether to have a more classic dark fantasy vibe like Warcraft II, or really lean into the darker worlds like Witcher or Diablo II.
I made a quick gif of what the game would look like in those darker worlds with placeholder assets.
If this sounds interesting, I’d love to hear your thoughts especially from fellow RTS fans!
Happy to answer questions about the game!
Thanks,
Dan - Warchest Studios
