addedThe Defender's Quest II page just launched! http://www.defendersquest.com/2/ Better Art First, super-talented artist Karen Petrasko will be in charge of the game's entire visual design. We'll be shooting for a high-res, HD-friendly art style, supporting resolutions up to 1080p. Second, legendary animator Dean Dodrill will be in charge of animation. You might have heard of his work - he's the solo developer behind Dust: An Elysian Tail . New Story & Setting Mists of Ruin takes place in a new setting -- a world whose surface has been covered by toxic gas for all of recorded history. Humans shelter in crumbling domed cities, sealed tunnels beneath the earth, or small islands of land jutting just above the toxic clouds. Your party is a domed city scavenger squad, sent into the wastes to recover ancient technology, hoping to keep the systems alive for one more generation... New Mechanics We've heard your feedback from the first game -- we're keeping what works, and improving the rest. More details are posted on the Defender's Quest II site . Awesome Music Kevin Penkin will be returning to do the soundtrack for Defender's Quest II. We also have a super secret special guest musician that we can't announce just yet. Pre-order Campaign Up until the final launch of Defender's Quest II, we've opened a pre-order campaign powered by Humble Store, the same folks behind Humble Bundle. Not only can you save some money off the final launch price, we'll be throwing in a copy of Defender's Quest I with every single pre-order tier. (Separately giftable, of course!) Buying the basic tier will get you both games for 57% off their combined regular prices. Defender's Quest II has been pre-approved for Steam, so yes, you'll get a Steam Key upon final release :) Higher tiers will include goodies like a digital art & story book, alpha and beta access, as well as an opportunity to be a monster in a special final credits battle -- ie, a bonus battle where every monster represents someone from the credits! Final Thoughts Defender's Quest II is still fairly early in development, but we figured our steam players would want to get in on the ground floor. Let us know if you have any questions, especially if you're a journalist or blogger and want to write about this!
