lineus Tech tips coverage of PS 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel
and steel series hey guys I'm back at the Indie Mega Booth with Scott for the
game called necro now can you tell me more about what this game is really
about sure so necro is a game about playing an undead Necromancer right so
you basically summon a bunch of
monsters and then go raid innocent villages
and utterly destroy them so basically it's the best premise for a game ever
right right I noticed uh I watched the trailer on the Indie Mega Booth trailer
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
lot of was when I was a kid and played Warcraft 3 I know that's kind of weird
but when I was a kid and played Warcraft 3 when you turn as arthus one of the
first missions you have is you get this huge Army and then you just wreck a town
and that's really what this reminded me of is did you get where did you get Iration from you just nailed it
basically for Warcraft 3 like I mean the whole Undead faction I love the undead
faction like the little meat wagon like we have something in our game called the
meat bag which is basically like this bag on your back full of Limbs and you
throw them at people like it just came straight from the meat wagon which is
like a big corpse train it's amazing um but our main Inspirations were basically
really like late 90s games um Dungeon
Keeper is my biggest one ever I love like just monsters and you know each
monster in our game has has its own personality its own AI patterns like it
it really acts different than every other monster so that adds to a lot of
the strategy of our game but it also makes Every Creature feel like it has
you know its own identity and that's I think huge in a game like this where
it's all based on monsters so I mean Dungeon Keeper was a massive influence
for me just because of that alone and then um I don't know if you heard of
this one but Myth the Fallen Lords by bungei before you know the other Bungie
game yes oh my God but that was one of
my favorite games of all time and in that game anytime something was
destroyed it like just turned into all these little jibs and the battlefield
was like stained with blood and the blood never went away the whole entire
time and all the jibs like you end up with a battle where you just had this
massive mound of disgusting meat everywhere and I know that sounds
absolutely terrible but like it was so cheesy and fun I just I loved it so I
mean those are my main influences Warcraft 3 you know Dungeon Keeper myth
uh a lot of games from the late ' 90s I just absolutely loved that's awesome
late '90s games nothing wrong WR with that now one more thing to ask is you
are the the the bad character in this game but as a bad character you can
still be a protagonist what is the antagonist in this game there is an evil
King so basically when I say evil it's relative because everything in our game
is evil right everything is dark the world is completely corrupt but you used
to work for this evil King right and essentially uh he was very arrogant and
wanted to live forever so you were this you know badass Alchemist you make him a
vial that will make him live forever but in order to do so it has a curse that
you have to first die so he he hated
that sentenced you to death and basically he throws uh the vial on your
dead corpse and brings you back to life so now this super corrupted King is out
there and you're trapped in this world of not living and not dead so the only
way to bring yourself to the Land of the Dead is to exact revenge on this Super
Evil King so you go do horrible stuff to a guy that's done horrible stuff to you
so it's just like this super epic battle of Revenge on both parts right that's
cool now one more question what is your personal favorite part about this game I
absolutely love just the creature interactions it is a action game it's a
strategy game it's a tactical game like everything about it is its own identity
and like I've just I've not played a game like it and I'm not just saying
that cuz I'm developing it you know like it it really has it its own feel and its
own I know style to it that not a lot of our games do and I I love that about it
so I think I think it's B basically that it it covers so much ground the minions
interact with you in a different way than in any other game and uh you're
just able to do things in this game that you can't do in other games I love that
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
trend in the Indie Mega booth that these guys are doing stuff that's new they're
doing stuff that's Innovative like you said he hasn't played a game like this before it's probably true he probably
hasn't played a game like this before because all these guys are driving Innovation and trying new things thank
