Gameplay Trailer!
David, your usual host, has taken a seat over there somewhere for the moment, so that gives some of the rest of us a chance to say hello.
Hello.
As development finally wraps up and we start putting forward our game for approval and release, it’s important that everyone has some idea what they’re in for. So naturally, a gameplay video was in order!

Wizard Wars: Evolution
We’re gearing up for release here at Dugong Games so for our latest blog post, I thought it would be appropriate to have a quick look at how the game has evolved visually.
Our Next Game
Well it’s no longer Q1 and Wizard Wars is near completion so we’ve had to turn our minds towards game 2…
Pig Calvary
Hot on the heels (trotters?) of the Batpigs come the Pig Riders aka Wrorc Calvary.
Progress Report
Well it has been two weeks from the last blog post, so we’re one overdue and we’ve got progress to show!
Batpigs: The winged menace
The Wrorc Forces
So you know about Wizard Wars, but who are the Wrorcs? Wrorcs are the pig-like monsters that want nothing more than to smash, loot and otherwise cause havock. The troops themselves come in different sizes.
Scouts
Scouts are the lowest rung of Wrorc society, being much weaker than their taller brethren. However, what they lack in brute strength, they make up for in speed. Scouts are nefarious little creatures in that they like to use the larger Wrorcs as shields. Quite often a few of them will slip through while the archers are focused on the rest of their tribe.
What is Wizard Wars?
Wizard Wars is a Tower Defense game for Windows Phone 7 and Dugong Games’ first title.
Using towers containing elemental wizards, you must defend your castle gates from the savage Wrorcs. In the screenshot below they’re represented by the disembodied heads with saucepans.
Update: Check out the new blog post about enemies (and their updated images) here!
Dev Blog 1: To Make a Shop
The shop screen is one of my favourite parts of the games as I took it from a doodle in a graphics editor to a functional aspect of the game itself.
This is the first screenshot of the shop actually in the game. Truly fitting of the title programmer art, each asset was extracted from the graphic itself and converted into a semi-functional object. Of course, it’s not that interesting just having a shopkeep describing some items to you…
