Legacy of Sin: Ill-Boding

Legacy of Sin: Ill-Boding is a hybrid city-building and tower defense game that seamlessly blends massive real-time battles with turn-based management of your city and lands. Set in a Renaissance world devastated by a magical apocalypse, humanity's few remaining survivors retreat before the relentless onslaught of orcish hordes. The last kingdom rallies around Aldrick, a mercenary leader promoted to lord by the deaths of all the nobles he used to serve. At the head of the last bastion of humanity, it's his role to rally the survivors, defend against the hordes, and turn a sea of ruins into the heart of a new empire.

• Hybrid Gameplay: Experience a seamless fusion of city-building, real-time tactics, and route defense, combining strategic depth with fast-paced action. Lead an army of soldiers fighting for survival, earning experience through victories to unlock powerful upgrades and specialized battlefield abilities. As both ruler and commander, balance defense, expansion, and resource management to keep the remnants of humanity alive and the flame of human civilization alight!
• Fortress Management: Humanity's last hope starts out as little more than a collection of burned-out houses around a crumbling castle. Carefully rebuild the infrastructure, restart agriculture and industry to keep everyone fed and equipped, and turn a group of rag-tag survivors and shell-shocked mercenaries into a well-organized army to stop the orcish onslaught!
• Branching Developments: Research, customizable loadouts, and limited resources mean tough choices. Do you prioritize expanding your city and fortress, defending it with expendable, cheap soldiers, risking that they would be overwhelmed by higher-level foes? Or develop a group of heroic units ripped straight from a fantasy novel - but few, allowing orcs to slip through and slaughter?
• Unique Art Style: Inspired by classic 90s cartoons, Legacy of Sin: Ill-boding features hand-drawn animations and environments, based on in-depth research into Renaissance weapons, clothing, fighting techniques and more!
• Fantasy Apocalypse: What would happen if Renaissance Europe was almost rubbed out by a magical calamity? How would the survivors deal with the rampaging hordes of orcs and other monsters? Would they manage to survive or perish in the fallout of the apocalypse?

DEVELOPER MESSAGE
Legacy of Sin: Ill-Boding is the next chapter in the Legacy of Sin series, a project that has been years in the making. This game represents the culmination of our vision for a strategy-driven, immersive experience that began with the first game in the series. Many of the ideas you’ll experience in Ill-Boding were conceived during the development of our earlier titles.

Each chapter in the Legacy of Sin series explores a unique story and gameplay style, and Ill-Boding is no exception. With its blend of city-building, tower defense, and narrative depth, this game offers a fresh take on our core themes of survival, leadership, and resilience in a world on the brink of collapse.

Realizing this project has been a dream come true for our team. Every element—art, gameplay, and design—was crafted with meticulous care, dedication, and countless hours of effort. We hope Ill-Boding becomes a lasting experience for players and an exciting continuation of the Legacy of Sin series.

Thank you for supporting us on this journey. We can’t wait for you to explore the world of Legacy of Sin: Ill-Boding. See you soon, friends!

In our game, AI is a powerful ally that has significantly increased our productivity. It helps us create new scenarios, which are then refined by our art team, allowing us to offer an expanded variety of playable environments for players. Additionally, we plan to integrate AI-generated dialogues to dub the game into multiple languages. This dubbing process would be impossible for our small studio without AI support. With this approach, we aim to make our game accessible to a global audience and provide a localized and authentic gaming experience in different languages. In summary, AI plays a crucial role in our development process, enabling our small studio to achieve great feats and provide players with a rich and immersive experience.
