lineus Tech tips coverage of PS 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:11,599
and steel series hey guys I'm back at the Indie Mega Booth with Scott for the

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,679
game called necro now can you tell me more about what this game is really

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:21,720
about sure so necro is a game about playing an undead Necromancer right so

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,720
you basically summon a bunch of

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,039
monsters and then go raid innocent villages

7
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:38,840
and utterly destroy them so basically it's the best premise for a game ever

8
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:42,120
right right I noticed uh I watched the trailer on the Indie Mega Booth trailer

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,879
that's kind of an interesting thing to say but that's exactly what I did right yeah yeah um and what it reminded me a

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,600
lot of was when I was a kid and played Warcraft 3 I know that's kind of weird

11
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:55,199
but when I was a kid and played Warcraft 3 when you turn as arthus one of the

12
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:58,640
first missions you have is you get this huge Army and then you just wreck a town

13
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:04,360
and that's really what this reminded me of is did you get where did you get Iration from you just nailed it

14
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:09,240
basically for Warcraft 3 like I mean the whole Undead faction I love the undead

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,799
faction like the little meat wagon like we have something in our game called the

16
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,799
meat bag which is basically like this bag on your back full of Limbs and you

17
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,880
throw them at people like it just came straight from the meat wagon which is

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:25,360
like a big corpse train it's amazing um but our main Inspirations were basically

19
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:27,479
really like late 90s games um Dungeon

20
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Keeper is my biggest one ever I love like just monsters and you know each

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,360
monster in our game has has its own personality its own AI patterns like it

22
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,720
it really acts different than every other monster so that adds to a lot of

23
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,640
the strategy of our game but it also makes Every Creature feel like it has

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,560
you know its own identity and that's I think huge in a game like this where

25
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:50,320
it's all based on monsters so I mean Dungeon Keeper was a massive influence

26
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,680
for me just because of that alone and then um I don't know if you heard of

27
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:58,479
this one but Myth the Fallen Lords by bungei before you know the other Bungie

28
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:00,240
game yes oh my God but that was one of

29
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:03,479
my favorite games of all time and in that game anytime something was

30
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,399
destroyed it like just turned into all these little jibs and the battlefield

31
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,280
was like stained with blood and the blood never went away the whole entire

32
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,480
time and all the jibs like you end up with a battle where you just had this

33
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,840
massive mound of disgusting meat everywhere and I know that sounds

34
00:02:15,959 --> 00:02:22,200
absolutely terrible but like it was so cheesy and fun I just I loved it so I

35
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,680
mean those are my main influences Warcraft 3 you know Dungeon Keeper myth

36
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,360
uh a lot of games from the late ' 90s I just absolutely loved that's awesome

37
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:34,680
late '90s games nothing wrong WR with that now one more thing to ask is you

38
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,040
are the the the bad character in this game but as a bad character you can

39
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,159
still be a protagonist what is the antagonist in this game there is an evil

40
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,760
King so basically when I say evil it's relative because everything in our game

41
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:50,800
is evil right everything is dark the world is completely corrupt but you used

42
00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:55,319
to work for this evil King right and essentially uh he was very arrogant and

43
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,159
wanted to live forever so you were this you know badass Alchemist you make him a

44
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:04,920
vial that will make him live forever but in order to do so it has a curse that

45
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,680
you have to first die so he he hated

46
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:11,120
that sentenced you to death and basically he throws uh the vial on your

47
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,519
dead corpse and brings you back to life so now this super corrupted King is out

48
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:18,680
there and you're trapped in this world of not living and not dead so the only

49
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:23,000
way to bring yourself to the Land of the Dead is to exact revenge on this Super

50
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,920
Evil King so you go do horrible stuff to a guy that's done horrible stuff to you

51
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:32,319
so it's just like this super epic battle of Revenge on both parts right that's

52
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,799
cool now one more question what is your personal favorite part about this game I

53
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:42,400
absolutely love just the creature interactions it is a action game it's a

54
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:46,799
strategy game it's a tactical game like everything about it is its own identity

55
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,680
and like I've just I've not played a game like it and I'm not just saying

56
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:55,239
that cuz I'm developing it you know like it it really has it its own feel and its

57
00:03:53,079 --> 00:04:00,280
own I know style to it that not a lot of our games do and I I love that about it

58
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:04,120
so I think I think it's B basically that it it covers so much ground the minions

59
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,519
interact with you in a different way than in any other game and uh you're

60
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,640
just able to do things in this game that you can't do in other games I love that

61
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,320
that's great to hear we've noticed a trend and I know I've said this in other videos but we have definitely noticed a

62
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:20,519
trend in the Indie Mega booth that these guys are doing stuff that's new they're

63
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:25,120
doing stuff that's Innovative like you said he hasn't played a game like this before it's probably true he probably

64
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:30,400
hasn't played a game like this before because all these guys are driving Innovation and trying new things thank
