In its bid to prove independent game studios have the resourcefulness to stand alongside industry heavyweights, ComboMash Entertainment has released a Triple-A cinematic trailer for its latest release, Hextraction.
In Hextraction, you take charge of a unique off-world mining crew as they fend off enemies, harvest resources, build structures, and explore dangerous new territories on mysterious alien planets. Unique from other real-time strategy (RTS) games, players in Hextraction are restricted to limited numbers of unique units for their crew, whose skill attributes can be individually upgraded throughout the game. Hextraction, planned for release on PC / Mac / Linux and OUYA, blends the best elements of RTS and role-playing games (RPGs) where the choices you make in the battlefield can echo in the wars you fight in the future.
Game development began only 7 weeks ago. Its first prototype was originally conceived as part of the Global Game Jam, a 48-hour straight game building event earlier this year. Since then, through rapid prototyping and collaboration with industry veterans, Hextraction has shown it’s possible to captivate gamers with a combination of unique gameplay and high production quality visuals.
Hextraction looks to build its fan base through an ongoing Kickstarter campaign, where developers seek to raise $75,000 over 28 days. Through Kickstarter’s innovative crowd-funding platform, ComboMash is able to establish game pre-sales as well as receive direct input from future players on the game’s mechanics and visual direction. While the game is only $15 to purchase, rewards for financially supporting the campaign at higher reward levels include early development access, signed art books, and many opportunities to work with the producers in creating in-game features and art.
Those interested in purchasing the game and supporting the funding campaign can view full details at www.hextraction.com or by searching for Hextraction on Kickstarter or Google.
