Repeated intro
Hey everyone! This is the first of a series of devlogs about the development of Overhours! Today we'll explain a little about how we came up with the game's concept 🤗

Overworking Night-Owls🦉
Some of our team come from a design background where long hours and late nights were fairly common, and some nights honestly, you just need to fight some demons; whether they're inner or your boss outer.
Tower Defense🏰
During early conceptualization stages a few years ago, one of the few genres we played often was tower defense, more specifically hybrid tower defenses, like Orcs Must Die and Dungeon Defenders.
So when we started thinking about what games we wanted to make, a Tower Defense was high up on the list of considerations!
Screenshots from the very first prototype of Overhours! Back then it was called a different name too.
The very first prototype of Overhours also had 🤝co-op gameplay🤝 (extremely ambitious for our first game). But even though that's been removed, we hope we'll be able to properly implement it in the future, perhaps in an Overhours sequel or something entirely new.
Release Date....? 🤔
After roughly three years of development, we're excited to say that Overhours is getting a release window in 2026!
The journey hasn't been easy, but we're extremely grateful to all the players who've been supporting us and giving us feedback!
We hope you'll stay tuned for our official release date announcement in the near future ✨
