Picture Wars - 100% user-driven forum game
« on: June 10, 2013, 12:57:05 pm »
Some of might've heard of it already.
Picture Wars is about drawing your own armies, complete with backstory, units, weapons, maps and whatnot and fighting with them.

As a matter of fact, there are even Goblins and Dwarves, a homage to a game we all know too well around here...
Basically Worms + Cortex Command with everything else. Except for real-time gameplay.

I myself am working on an army. Pics should be arriving soon at the forums. (although I'll admit that I won't have any "animations" in there because I suck at it. BADLY.
And it's based on a game mod. Yeah, but I have ze permission.

Essentially.
Serves as a pixel-art school of sorts as well.
