How Kickstarter game Hex Heroes is reimagining the real-time strategy genre for the Wii U (interview)

April 22nd - via: thecrowdfundnetwork.com
If you were to look back at the past couple generations of consoles through today’s, one could argue that their defining traits were in their control schemes as much as their graphical prowess. From the incorporation of dual thumb sticks to motion controls and gesture-based touch-screens, each new means of interaction meant new genres and/or old ones reimagined. As powerful as the current console generation is already proving to be, there’s no denying that it brings with it another new input: the second screen. (Read More)

Feature: Kickstarter's Wii U and 3DS Campaigns - 6th April

April 6th - via: nintendolife.com
Kickstarter is the crowdfunding platform loved by all — OK, maybe not all. It remains a fairly divisive platform, with some heavily delayed projects and certain multi-billion dollar sales of formerly crowdfunded products causing consternation; these negatives are arguably countered by a range of exciting projects made possible through its campaigns. It's vital in an era where even download-only developments can have a level of complexity necessitating a budget of hundreds of thousands of dollars; on the flipside some starting out in the industry look for a first break, requesting surprisingly low amounts. (Read More)

Creative Force Behind Hex Heroes Talks RTS, Accessibility and Onions

April 3rd - via: tay.kotaku.com

Hex Heroes is a five-player real-time strategy game for Wii U

March 30th - via: joystiq.com
Some of us don't know how to play real-time strategy games. Some of us just turtle in our initial base until we run out of resources, at which point our brainiac rivals storm the place for an easy victory. That's okay though, because in Prismatic Games LLC' Hex Heroes for the Wii U eShop, which the studio describes as a "party RTS," strategists will use the GamePad to lead up to four allied friends, with the allies sharing screen space on the TV. (Read More)
