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

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

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:15.679
game called necro now can you tell me more about what this game is really

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:21.720
about sure so necro is a game about playing an undead Necromancer right so

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.720
you basically summon a bunch of

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:30.039
monsters and then go raid innocent villages

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:38.840
and utterly destroy them so basically it's the best premise for a game ever

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:42.120
right right I noticed uh I watched the trailer on the Indie Mega Booth trailer

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:09.240
basically for Warcraft 3 like I mean the whole Undead faction I love the undead

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.799
faction like the little meat wagon like we have something in our game called the

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.799
meat bag which is basically like this bag on your back full of Limbs and you

00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:19.880
throw them at people like it just came straight from the meat wagon which is

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:25.360
like a big corpse train it's amazing um but our main Inspirations were basically

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:27.479
really like late 90s games um Dungeon

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:30.360
Keeper is my biggest one ever I love like just monsters and you know each

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.360
monster in our game has has its own personality its own AI patterns like it

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.720
it really acts different than every other monster so that adds to a lot of

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:42.640
the strategy of our game but it also makes Every Creature feel like it has

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

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.320
it's all based on monsters so I mean Dungeon Keeper was a massive influence

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

00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:58.479
this one but Myth the Fallen Lords by bungei before you know the other Bungie

00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:00.240
game yes oh my God but that was one of

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:03.479
my favorite games of all time and in that game anytime something was

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.399
destroyed it like just turned into all these little jibs and the battlefield

00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:11.280
was like stained with blood and the blood never went away the whole entire

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

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.840
massive mound of disgusting meat everywhere and I know that sounds

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

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:26.680
mean those are my main influences Warcraft 3 you know Dungeon Keeper myth

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:30.360
uh a lot of games from the late ' 90s I just absolutely loved that's awesome

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.680
late '90s games nothing wrong WR with that now one more thing to ask is you

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:38.040
are the the the bad character in this game but as a bad character you can

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:42.159
still be a protagonist what is the antagonist in this game there is an evil

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.760
King so basically when I say evil it's relative because everything in our game

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:50.800
is evil right everything is dark the world is completely corrupt but you used

00:02:48.519 --> 00:02:55.319
to work for this evil King right and essentially uh he was very arrogant and

00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.159
wanted to live forever so you were this you know badass Alchemist you make him a

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

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:06.680
you have to first die so he he hated

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:11.120
that sentenced you to death and basically he throws uh the vial on your

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.519
dead corpse and brings you back to life so now this super corrupted King is out

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

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

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

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

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.799
cool now one more question what is your personal favorite part about this game I

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:42.400
absolutely love just the creature interactions it is a action game it's a

00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:46.799
strategy game it's a tactical game like everything about it is its own identity

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

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

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

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

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:08.519
interact with you in a different way than in any other game and uh you're

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:34.520
you for showing us your game game if you like necro necro sorry if you liked
