Finally, after a bit of a delay, Ice And Fire Tower Defence is available for you to play right here on Newgrounds!

There's even a new song that comes along with it, probably one of my longest in a while :D

I worked pretty much non stop all of December and the beginning of January on this. Evenings, weekends, holidays, even my birthday haha. It was definitely more than I expected for a small game; I expected the art to take a while, but the balancing of the game (making sure both sides have their own advantage and it isn't insta win with one team over the other, and even the difficulties too) proved to take up even more time. Making the song was also a very long process, especially because it had specific intentions in mind: not too distracting, not too repetitive, long... etc.

It was also my first time not only making a Tower Defence game, but a proper strategy game as well! As a kid I always stayed away from these, as they would look too intimidating or instruction heavy for me to bother. I tried to adjust that a bit by making the game a bit easier to understand and not requiring a high skill level, and also giving it a more friendly and happy theme by putting my creatures and such in there as well.

One of the (unfortunately) unforeseen difficulties is that my health problems are still being super weird, which made me lose much more time than I'd like to have working. I tried to take as little breaks as possible but with how this weird problem is acting it felt like it would incapacitate me completely. But it's okay, the game is finally here and that's all that I care about!

Besides all this stuff, this game is gonna be part of the Zelomedia collection on ME-OS, and I also wrote a wiki article about it if you'd like to find out more. I'm gonna get back to working on Portal Dreams, a lot of Jump Wars and Keyccordion stuff, and hopefully have a new ME-OS LIVE (direct like video) for you all in April! Me and @spicycoffee work very hard pretty much any opportunity we have to make this game come to life, and we really hope that one day it will be something many people will be able to enjoy.

Thank you once again for reading up till here, I really appreciate you all, and I hope you're all having a great year so far!
