Shadows of Nightside ~ Forum

Hello everyone,

Well if you have been waiting patiently or or not so patiently for some more news, on happenings at the Flowerpot. Then you're in luck If you are a fan of ours on Facebook - *wink wink*, *nudge nudge* - then you've already seen this post. However I am an equal opportunity informer so if you don't like Facebook not a problem.

It is time to pull back the curtains and finally reveal the new information on what we are working on at the Flowerpot. Not bad for an indie gaming company is it *brushes shoulder off*, and we have been making steady progress for some time.

Now the spotlight is on our marvelous coders Fish and Llarlen for working hard and getting us something we can take a peek at. The side project currently under the stage lights is Canyon of Desolation (CoD). So what we have coming at you all with CoD is a 3D Tower Defense game and for those who aren’t sure what a TD game is well taken from wiki “the goal is to try to stop enemies from crossing the map by building towers which shoot at them as they pass.” That is a very brief description but is overall the general idea.

Alright so now I’m sure some of you are thinking…a TD game? That is most definitely not the RPG we’ve been waiting on?! No worries SoN is still in development but hey, why not give you all something to play in the time being.

We have of course set up a website that can be found at http://www.canyonofdesolation.com . Citrine has also posted a fabulous explanation of what CoD is, as well as an explanation as to why we are working on CoD alongside SoN. So be sure to visit the website for certainly more info, photos, as well as some video clips.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and expect more updates coming soon!

It looks interesting, although, I was rather disappointed at the lack of chips.

This is very interesting! I didn't know about the existence of this project until I heard it from a fellow gamer today.
It sounds like a lot of good people are working on this. I will be anxious to check it out, as I'm sure many others will be :)

That Zendrea has turned FPG into a bunch of slackers.

:P

Was that necessary?

I support it

*smirks*

Honestly guys I think COD is a waste of your money and Resources and it's simply something I wouldn't buy even to support you.

You are right however in saying we have been "waiting patiently" - speaking for myself I have been waiting patiently for anything - not so much for a Finished Product but anything and Frankly you guys give us next to nothing.

Most of us have come from MOM and Flowerpot Games & Shadows of Nightside is relatively unknown and you guys need to change this - Flowerpot Games NEEDS to put themselves out there to be known.

More Blog posts & information on other media sites like Facebook or twitter if will (I prefer Blog for RSS feed use).

Concept art - renderings - in game screen shoots - coding

Hell! anything at all it doesn't matter so long as you keep us informed as to what's going on - keep us here - keep us Interested - (Keep us Posting in the Forums )A good example of this is over at http://www.wolfire.com/ .

As far as support goes I would however Donate if say I got to play a late alpha or early beta ( A beta Tester paying you to Beta test - what a Concept ) or something Similar.

Thanks Fish - maybe I could have worded my 1st couple of comments a little better as I hope it didn't come across as being Rude as that was not it's intension.

As far as Support goes - I would however be interested in Hard copy signed Concept art ;) (of SON) - for Donations - maybe as a thank you from FPG (and depending on the level of donation) you could get an exclusive in game item - a cool looking tattoo or something similar.
