This is our first studio update. These updates will not come out on a regular basis, however, will provide general information about the plans for Melon Games and how we are progressing. This update will be focusing on our plans for our currently released games and outline what we’re working on right now. This update also comes with a refresh to the website, making it easier to use and displaying more information.
For our current games “Down In The Depths Blind” and “Deep Dive To The Hive Mind”, you might have noticed the slowdown in updates. This is because we have been working on developing new our new ideas. We have had to make the hard decision to suspend development on these games for the foreseeable future to allow ourselves time to focus on making our new games. We’ve not ruled out adding more content to “Down In The Depths Blind” however we have no plans to come back to “Deep Dive To The Hive Mind”. While this is sad news it will allow us to focus our time on our new games.
If you attended Wakefield Games Weekend, our latest event, you might have noticed our newest game “Belt Barons”. This game is where most of our attention is being focused, and we intend to release the game within the next 6-12 months. “Belt Barons” is a turn-based strategy game based in the asteroid belt. You control a squad of mercenaries who are profiting from all the natural resources to be found in the asteroid belt. However, be warned, there may be others also trying to profit from the same asteroids, from mining companies to spacefaring bandits, all who wish to take what’s yours. The campaign consists of scripted and random encounters, where you enter combat on a spherical map. As the campaign progresses you will gain the opportunity to upgrade your units and their equipment, gaining an edge over your adversaries. Be careful however, as something more dangerous than even the most notorious bandit lies waiting deep in the belt.
The game will have online multiplayer to allow you to play the campaign with friends or against them. You can also play single encounters with a friend or and AI opponents which allow you to select whatever combinations of units and equipment you want.
In order to develop this game which has a larger scope than most of our games we will be starting to reach out to publishers to help us release the game. We will also release a demo of the game soon. The games shall be coming to as many platforms as possible, including steam and xbox.
As we reach the end of this studio update, I would like to thank you for reading and tell you that more details about “Belt Barons” will be coming soon in our next update.
