News is finally here!

As some of you may remember from a past announcement, Redacted has invited us to play another game! This time it will be on their game server, complete with automation and in-game events. They have put a lot of work into it already, but they have reached out to us for a bit of help.

Centered around the usual theme "Grove vs. Redacted," the game will consist of a group of special "monsters" that are going to try to attack the Great Oak. They range from woodpeckers to fake robot beavers, along with some nasty lumberjacks as back up. The Oak's Grove will have its own special group of towers/monsters/mobs to fight for them as well, including special events on the field. Each of these will need at least one player to control, otherwise any towers and/or upgrades will not be usable.

So...

WE WILL NEED PEOPLE TO PLAY!

The Towers

In order to include the Oak's Grove community, Redacted has requested that we may do a bit of brainstorming for a few 'towers'. Right now, we have a tree-ent, cherry bombs, a duck (of course), an acorn catapult and a mushroom spore missile launcher. A sniper-type design is Redacted's most specific request, but any other suggestions will be considered as well. Names for this tower can also serve as an inspiration, so if you don't know how to build something or just have a concept idea, feel free to suggest it regardless.

For a bit of information regarding what these towers will do, they act as mobs with their own pros and cons. Think of each of these as characters with their own stats and capabilities. For example, the tree ent would be destructive but with a short range, as it is using its fists to pound into the earth. The sniper tower will need to be high damage, long range and slow reload.

Be creative with it, but keep the mechanics of the game in mind. The whole point of this is to have fun and to give the community a chance to do something together, starting with building the game itself. ;)

• Note: If you want to attempt to build a design they must be able to fit in a 17x17 square. Any block can be used.

Voice Acting!?

Redacted would like to include silly voice clips for the special events that will occur on the field. Think of it like the DvZ sound clips. If anyone is interested in voicing silly things for this, please let us know as well.

There is not a date yet since there is so much more to do, but having these ideas for them to work off of would be very helpful. When the time comes I hope everyone has fun with this! It will be really neat, I promise! ;D
