So after 6 months of hard work by Darryl, and QA by me, A.O.T.W.S.(Attack Of The Water Stealers) is done!
We uploaded it yesterday to greystripe, so along with 'Attack Stack', it should be available in January. As I've already mentioned somewhere, this is a 'mod' of 'Attack Cannon Challenge'. We've taken the original game, and put in rocket ships that land, fill up their water-tanks, and take off with your water. Your game starts with 100% water level, and every time a Water-Stealer blasts off, it takes it's tank of water with it. You will need to play several times a day to ward off the Water-Stealers, but you can buy a shield that lasts for 12 hours for $10,000.00 so it's not gonna kill you over night.
Darry has done pretty much all the actual work on this since I handed it over to him. I've been taking more of a QA/producer role this time. I've made sure there are no gameplay bugs or odd anomalies, but I did allow Darryl to have some creative freedom(maybe not enough).
We did FULLY implement online high-scores ourselves, but decided to switch over to greystripe's high-score tracking system. Unfortunately greystripe's score-tracking isn't live yet
Once greystripe has everything for scores up and running, it will be enabled in Water-Stealers as well.
Please post feedback once the game is available. It may be too easy/hard, but we can't tell until more people have played it and offered their opinions.
