New Indie Studio Super Punk Games has been working on The Last Leviathan for the last year with a very small team and have finally taken the plunge into Steam Greenlight hitting success and the top 100 within 9 hrs, top 10 within 4 days and 6th in 6 days!
History
The Last Leviathan is the brain child of Rik and Steve who spent a number of weeks sitting in a darkened room thinking up many different ideas for games around Easter time 2015. Their remit was to create a new Super Indie Studio that created games with strong creative components where players have the freedom to become unpredictable through emergent gameplay, and also just to be jaw droppingly good!
About The Last Leviathan
An evocative voyage of creativity, discovery and terror. The Last Leviathan is a physics-based, ship building and destruction game. You construct battle ships to crush your adversaries and massacre the monsters you encounter around the ancient seas of Middenhir. On your voyage to uncover where The Last Leviathan lies you will discover a world full of rival ships, mythical monsters, wrecked flotsam, physics-puzzles and hidden treasures.
Features
§ Build Ships: With blocks bought, found or plundered, you’ll craft boats capable of conquering pirates, out manoeuvring racing ships, disintegrating towers high on the coastal hills and solving mysteries.
§ Naval Encounters: Across the busy seas of Middenhir you’ll encounter many ships from clans far and wide. Some will be friendly and want to trade, others are looking for blood and booty – Yours!
§ Battling Monsters: Some say these behemoths are the descendants of The Last Leviathan, others just refuse to accept that they exist. Once you’ve seen one on the horizon you’ll wonder how you ever thought of anything else. Monster battles will be the pinnacle of your experience in The Last Leviathan. You’ll need to analyse the monster’s weaknesses, craft bigger weapons, build a specialised ship and then release the dogs of war with true, commanding skill.
§ A Monstrosity of Modes: Sandbox, Voyage, Free Battles, Challenges, Multiplayer!
§ It goes boom a lot! (that’s a feature!!)
Road Map
Super Punk Games plan on releasing a limited set of polished features for both Battle Seas and Creative modes into Early Access in Q4 2016. Voyage mode and Real-time multiplayer will be developed during Early Access.
