We're raising $8,000 to pay artist to upgrade our placeholder graphics to real ones.

So far many core mechanics and principals have been made while being accompanied by placeholder graphics.

What is Underground Throne?

Underground Thone is a Dungeon RTS inspired by old classicl RTS games like Impossible Creatures, Dungeon Keeper and Tanktics.
Dungeon Keeper was too great of a game to let it fall into the Free-to-Pay route, so I decided to make my own spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper's legacy.
This game does not ship with any of that bogust Freemium scams, but is simply a 1-time payment app, like gaming should be.
It is currently in the AlphaPrime state and plans to be cross-platform between Linux, Mac and Windows thanks to Game Maker Studio.
The current build is being done in GameMaker 8.1.


Game Features:

A real time strategy in nicely created dungeon maps
Control a group of goons, minions and "kidnapped heroes" into your destiny of being the underground super power.
Pickup and drop your troops onto terrain
Digging your dungeon into total perfection while annihilating those who oppose.
Protect your dungeon command center while destroying enemy forces and their dungeon command center .
Build dynamic rooms and infrastructure
Train your minions
Fuse minions together to create freaks of nature with unstoppable strengths.
Smack a minion, like a boss.
NO FREE-TO-PLAY foolishness
NO PAY-TO-WIN nonsense

hello, theweirdn8, welcome!

I moved your post from the Games forum to the Game Discussion forum, since the Games forum is intended for hosting downloads of games

I fondly remember the old DOS Dungeon Keeper, so I am happy to see a game trying to be more true to its spirit than its own modern sequel is :)

I am curious if there will be any Dwarf Fortress influences in Underground Throne.

And thus did Urist cause development of the game to stall for a month or so, heh.

But in all seriousness, looking pretty spiffy there.
