Well, by \u201cgame\u201d I don\u2019t mean something you can play.\u00a0 But it is something you can watch as all the (temp art, in case there was any doubt\u2026) elements function as intended: the owls ascend the stairs and even descend again if they reach the top.\u00a0 The archer as you can see fires arrows at them.\u00a0 He can even kill the first one before they get past him!\u00a0 The excitement is palpitatious!!\u00a0 Things are going well, I think, though I am dreading the actual real implementation.<\/p>\n

My game is this: tower defense, inside the tower itself.\u00a0 Eventually, there will be a pile of gold that the owls are stealing at the top.\u00a0 You of course strew archers, chefs, and yetis about the tower to stop them.\u00a0 The twist is that instead of buying generic units, you buy specific heroes as they show up visiting your inn (so a random element to that).\u00a0 So you might dump Archie the archer after a while for Blog the barbarian.\u00a0 The end goal is something with 100+ different guys (some not too different, like an archer who does more damage or fires faster than another), and a lot of wacky variety.\u00a0 Don\u2019t think there will be 100 of them by tomorrow, though.<\/p>\n
