Nice!

 

Dungeon Defender in tanks. Nice. So far so good.
I know that this is W.I.P. so I won't judge the art much first.
Just the road grey stone material feels a bit strange.
Maybe use sand material would be better, just my opinion.
Keep it up.

 

Yeah we have to redo a few environment assets! Just getting some core game play ready for the alpha.

 

Alpha is live if anyone wants to play join our discord.

Some Saturday concept art of lil' Sherman, our 1st level the French Alps.

 

The current game level of lil’ Sherman was a single model, this made it extremely difficult to add content, make changes and expand. We are now redesigning our levels using Unity terrain.
With this powerful tool we can add a multitude of environment content, expand our level and most importantly make all changes within the game engine.

lil' Sherman is a 3rd person action game that takes place in a stylized WW2/Alt-Universe setting. You play as a Sherman tank commander who must protect the incoming convoy of supplies as they make their way to the command center. lil’ Sherman will have to battle his way through wave after wave of powerful and unique foes, outfit himself with specialized equipment to complete missions and use resources from saved convoys to craft upgrades in the garage.

The gameplay combines RTS, Tower Defense and Action RPG elements.

Update of our level progress using unity terrain.

 

I would describe the art as a cat holding a shotgun, it's cute but it can shoot your face off

 

Lol !

Our 1st streamer, thanks Cory!

 

Many updates!

Our new Alph trailer lets you learn a little bit of the back story and elements we are working on for the game.

We are excited to be working with our new 3D artists who will be redesigning all game assets to a higher resolution level.

 

For the past few weeks we’ve been busy working on game mechanics and updating assets. As you can see in the below video we had a little too much fun driving Sherman around, don’t worry this is not the end product

We recently updated the village assets to align with our current art style direction and will continue with the environment assets next.

We started updating the low resolution UI, first up the main logo.

 

Always awesome when someone streams our game!
