Overlords
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Overlords has potential.

Hello my amazing itch community!! Overlords was created for a game jam some time last year. While the theme of the Jam was robots, this game actually was an attempt to share my outlook on life. As an introvert who really dose not fit in, and has a hard time understanding people, I tried to portray how the world looks to me. On the surface it is beautiful and a great place to be, however when you dig you see it is not so. I naturally fear the world and others around me so a game with evil overlord robots fits perfectly in my world view. The game itself was made in a week and is FULL of bugs and, lets be honest, its hard to play in its current state. I have been toying with remaking this game for quite some time. There are a TON of reasons why I have not done this yet. 

Here are just a few:

  1.  NPC is hard to make correctly and very TIME CONSUMING.
  2. Open world environments, again, time consuming and has to be done correctly.
  3. Mini Games this game wants to have mini games in it...

If you do not see the theme here, this game requires a LOT of work for pretty small return. This game has MASSIVE potential if I invest the time.

Thoughts for the new version.
