That Which Sleeps

[Thuzar]

That Which Sleeps je nov osvrt na "God Game" zanr (igre poput Populous, Black & White itd.) u kojoj igrate ulogu prastarog (zlog) bozanstva (poput onih iz Cthulhu mitologije) sa ciljem da manipulisete svetom i postanete ultimativni vladar istog.

Evo nekih detalja vezanih za igru (preuzeto sa Kickstarter strane):

That Which Sleeps is a turn-based strategy game where the player assumes the role of an ancient being who was sealed away in ages past but has now returned to reclaim dominion over the world. However, when you waken you are weak and must lurk in the shadows to avoid a return to your demonic slumber.

This is where That Which Sleeps deviates from the typical turn based strategy formula. Rather than directly affecting the world by building or training troops, you use your power to indirectly influence the world utilizing uniquely designed Agents who can infiltrate the nations of the world, terrorize outlying farms, and perform esoteric rituals to create the perfect situation for your return.

The player must balance an aggressive approach utilizing his considerable power and eager hordes with the need to remain unknown to the Champions and Heroes of the world. This allows for multiple play styles and various meaningful decision paths - all made more unique and re-playable due to the large cast of available agents and awakened demons aka "Ancient Evils". In addition, the world is customized at the beginning of the game as you explicitly lay out how you were sealed away, and what methods you used to manipulate the world in your slumber.

Features:

-Corrupt, conquer, charm, and manipulate - with a fully realized world driven by thematic AIs that follow their own interests you can pursue multiple paths to victory.

-Customize the world with your choices at the beginning of each scenario, choosing an Ancient Evil and selecting his origins and what dire deeds he has wrought on the world.

-Make difficult choices with limited agents, choosing to send your Prophet to rouse the orc hordes or beset Kings with maddening dreams will greatly change the flow of the game.

-Disrupt the Balance of Power by creating famines in the farmland, stoking the flame of old vendettas, or recruiting pirates to the sea.

-Watch the fame of your Agents rise and heroes will begin to hunt them down. Let them fall as scapegoats and keep your name secret, or imbue them with dark power and take the fight back to the heroes.

-Each action you take leaves clues behind that cunning heroes can decipher, eventually leading them to the truth. Kill or corrupt them before they find a receptive ear at court.

-A fully functioning in-game Editor that allows you to create your own scenarios, old ones, heroes, artifacts, and even agents.

Sto se tice price, nju ce pisati Mark Yohalem (scenarista igre "Primordia" - http://www.sk.rs/forum/showthread.ph...ight=primordia). Developeri su obecali dodatne rase/agente/heroje/Old Ones, kao i jos bolje animacije i art (dodatno glancanje naslova) ukoliko prikupe jos vise novca.

Old Ones:



Limos, Shadow of Creation
An injustice forgotten, a hate without meaning. Pervert the living, rend your children, and bring this nightmare to an end.



Azlan, In Will Unbound
In the Dreamlands a formless legend lurks, a memory of evil thought destroyed. No hell would take it's immortal soul and now it dreams with gods and horrors.



Karth, the Form of Fury
They wait, persecuted, driven into dark forests and deep caves. They wait, eager, for their blood burns as omens fall. They wait, as the drums of war begin to beat. Their God comes again.



Seraph, Glory of Shadow
Whispers spread of an ancient path that daring pilgrims tread, to the home of an Old God who will take us from our sins. In dark times one must turn to the only light left.



Sisyphus, Man's Lament
A Fate-borne promise of an age without horror, but in chaos he stumbled. Without support he fell. Ours was the failing, but on his shoulders judgement fell.



Moloch, Rumblings in the Deep
In the deep a cancerous heart begins to beat. The world has long been without it's steward and has strayed down unfamiliar paths, but all can be undone. The world can be perfect again.



Belial, the Shadow Prince
Schemes drip down to a shadowed throne, lies echo in its black chambers. A soothing relief for the dead thing that lays there, a broken lord of the wretched.



Inatha, The Wings of Winter
"Fear the mountains for the words that they speak, fear the snows for the horrors they keep, fear in ice the ancient's deceit."

Agenti:

The First



The First is one of The Twins, among the most powerful of Agents you can recruit. She, along with her brother, is from the Age of Legends. Considered the most promising of brilliant minds of her time she was groomed to lead the world into an even greater Age - but it was not to be. Consumed by sibling rivalry they tore the world apart, only as the glory of humanity burnt out did the remaining sages seal them away.

Choosing to recruit The First will unfortunately place you at odds with The Dreadnaught as their rivalry continues anew. However, proper use of her considerable powers can make all the difference if the Alliance is threatening to form. She excels at political intrigue and is one of the most powerful casters in the game. You'll need to decide if she is worth making such a powerful enemy for.

The Seeker



Before the Fall, in the Age of Horrors, Heroes rose to battle the Old Ones - but their numbers were limited and their mortality telling. One amongst them, wisest of his kind, learned that Heroes need not be born.... they can be made.

The Seeker was a Sage in the time of the Old Ones who saw in the long struggle for freedom that the nature of Truth was Power. His search consumed him, first the willing and the brave gave of themselves but it was in the innocent that the Seeker found the sharpest blade. Instrumental to the Old One's defeat, his atrocities came to light and he was sealed away by the those he saved.

The Seeker is a mid/late Agent who is not to be trifled with - to recruit him you must first exhume his tomb and then break the Ancient Seals that bind him to the past. He is a powerful caster who excels at infiltration and battle magic with a Scheme that further diversifies his role. Use it to augment your Agents and Units or find the weak, spiteful, and envious mortals of the world and offer them True Power. Surely, it doesn't come with a price?
