These past few weeks, we've been working on lots of new stuff. Among them, there are new levels, enemies, and heroes! But since we were already in the tpoic of heroes, in this update, we will be introducing the rest of the heroes we have been working on.
Andromeda is a very interesting character. She was held to a cliff to feed some monster, but Perseus ruined the day. At least for the monster.
In Okhlos, Andromeda will boost the mob's overall hp.
At first, I drew her with green hair, as a very obvious nod to a certain character also representing Andromeda, but it was way too obvious.
The cool thing about Antigone, is that she hasn't been much explored in popular culture. It's not one of the classic characters you find in every Greek-mythology-based thing. Also, it's amazing she didn't came out plain stupid, because of her mother and grandmother were the same person.
In Okhlos, Antigone will give the mob more cohesion.
In this screenshot, you can see how more or less cohesion will affect your mob.
So far, the Dioscury, are the only hero that are technically two. They were guest stars in a lot of myths, like the Calydonian boar hunt, and the Argonauts expeditions.
In Okhlos, they will boost the overall attack of the mob.
My first intention, was to make her clothes red. That was obvious and inaccurate, so I turned into more research. Finding reference images of Electra was very annoying because of the saturation of other Electras (And trust me, Google images is FULL of pics of them).
Electra has bad reputation because of Freud (technically, Magneto), but it has nothing to do with the original myths. As Antigone, which is the daughter of Oedipus, a hero already in Okhlos, she is the daughter of Agamemnon.
In Okhlos, she will make the mob move and attack faster.
Finally, Helen played a fundamental role in the Trojan war. Also, she is one of the first characters of the Trojan war we introduce! The Trojan war it's likely to be a real conflict, with some poetic licenses, triggered by her running away with Legolas.
Also, she is the sister of the Disocury, so this week, we introduced a lot of family members in the game.
In Okhlos, she will raise up all the attack stats in the mob, BUT also will reduce your cohesion a lot!
So that's it for this week! Next week, we will show you our first steps into the new levels!
Awesome!
This game seems to have so much content already, hoping to play it at some point.
