FAQ: Kingdom Rush Development

[Vanzen]

This is the FAQ for Kingdom Rush & Kingdom Rush sequel development. I'll try to keep this updated .
Feel free to ask any questions below and i'll add them to the FAQ.

1. What program did you use to create Kingdom Rush?
   Kingdom Rush and all of our flashgames were developed with Adobe Flash and Flash Develop for most of the coding.

   Of course. It takes place some time after the events on KR.

12. How is your progress going?
    We can't tell what has been finished or not because we go back and forward every day and many features are totally re-built many times. We push ourselves as hard as we can to bring our games and updates as soon as possible. Bringing you real-time information about our progress will take us precious developing time.

The expansion will be a stand alone game with a new name like for example KR:Attack of the Zombies but different.

No? Not Attack of the zombies?

To be serious, thanks for adding this great FAQ
I have one more question: Will we play the dark side in the expansion?

[kilele]

Will there be a 2 players mode ?

[Barrotes]

[*] Are you going to update Kingdom Rush with more content, stages, etc?
There are no plans to add more content for KR at the moment, but we will update it to fix bugs.

Not even Survival mode ?

Another FAQ question: How much will the iOS version cost, will it be the same as the flash version and is premium included or will be a in app purchase ?
Ops...thats 3 questions...

[koonic]

Will there be a 2 players mode ?

+1 this is one of my suggestion in the suggestion topic .

[Landbark]

Glad to hear good news and old answers.
Sadly we won't learn what new things we will see in new KRush. That information for now, is the most important one.
Still, good luck, there is a lot of people waiting for the sequel.

[LeChuck]

aaaarrrrrrr!....the expansion will feel like a booty call on a wednesday night....hope they put some pirates on it!

[Tornado]

[*]When will the sequel be released?
We don't have a specific date yet.

Could you at least announce an ETA ? (i.e. after 2 months,after 6 months,etc)
Forgive me for being impatient but its your fault you shouldnt make so good games

It's is too early to know at this point. I don't want to say 3 months and then in 3 months tell you , it will take another 2

[L0k1]

Blizzard have been doing this for over a decade. Don't be less.

Mi tarzan tu jane.

i know someone already asked this but its been a while and i beat all iron challenges so i am just waiting

[MaGnUs]

I'm pretty sure the answer will be the same. In fact, I'm certain.

[Sharpbro7]

I'm pretty sure the answer will be the same. In fact, I'm certain.

darn, i am just so excited about this sequel, like how many new towers will there be, will there be a an extra spell or an extra type of reinforcement including the original.

My suggestions:

1. Knight's tower. Similar than the Barracks but with knight's as you may see in Demonrift TD (a great game similar than Kingdom Rush but KR is better ) http://www.kongregate.com/games/menaragames/demonrift-td

2. Publish the game in Kong would give you many money

3. Fullscreen

4. Sandbox and/or Level editor would be huge.

5. Multiplayer

[Vanzen]

1) Lvl3 Barracks soldiers are called Knights , and then at lvl4 they can become Paladins or Barbarians.
For the moment we won't have a specialist Knight, it would be too similar to the Paladin.
(Demonrifts looks very nice, reminded me of Defender Chronicles)

2) We will publish in Kong and many other sites.

3) Fullscreen could only be available on a standalone version if we make one.

4) We are looking at ways to include a sandbox/survival mode. No level editor sorry.

5) Not for Kingdom Rush, multiplayer would be a different game.

[Eric]

Mr. Veznan, concerning Knights:

Please add mounted Soldiers. It gives it that "Swords and Horses" feel to it that sometimes lacks in other Medieval games. Oooh, and please check out my "Suggestions" posts, until you hit "Naval Combat" or something.

[Vanzen]

We had an early mounted unit that didn't made into the game, maybe they can make an appearence... or maybe not.

The naval combat suggestion is really cool but it feels like a very different game, we would have to remake art for every asset to make it fit inside "ships", instead we may have a coast themed map, but not real naval combat.

Invasion mode is another thing that sounds cool but again for a whole new game. It just doesn't fit the current mechanics and concept, it would work way better as a game on its own.

ElfHuts, Soldiers and level curiosity, we have a few ideas there, we hope you all love

[dimumurray]

@Vanzan: Nice to hear. How long did it take your team to put this game together to begin with?

[Vanzen]

Lol is funny allt he ways my nick got misspelled/confused
Kingdom Rush took around 8 months of development.
