We at Hero Interactive, fresh from the release of StarShine 2, have begun work on our next three exciting games: (in order of release) Pirate Defense, StormWinds: The Lost Campaigns, and Bubble Tanks Arenas. Here's a bit of information about each game!

PIRATE DEFENSE, is a tower defense game with a big twist! You are a pirate who has discovered a rather nice booty. However, being the greedy sillies that they are, other pirates are also after your prize. So you've set up camp on a steep hill where you can keep an eye on them. Instead of shooting from your towers you'll set up attack towers, also known as traps, to damage, move, capture, or kill those pesky pirates.

Towers are divided into two categories: triggers and traps. A trigger does no actual damage to your enemies, but sets off a trap. Here's a good example:

A pirate enemy is walking up the hill. He comes across a busty wench doll (that's tied to a rope) - she is the trigger. When our lusty pirate friend gets too close, the trigger is set. Up the hill, a log trap is linked to our trigger, and so it goes off and the logs are released. Linked to the log trap, but directly down hill from it is a bee trap (a swarm of bees are released). Linked also to the log trap is a pit with a tiger in it, which is opened up. So the logs roll down the hill, knock our pirate through the swarm of bees into the tiger pit.

Traps can be simple, or far more complicated than this. The bigger the traps, the bigger the bonus!

STORMWINDS: THE LOST CAMPAIGNS takes place after the events of StormWinds 1.5. We are very excited about greatly developing the StormWinds story, introducing new characters and plots. The Lost Campaigns will feature mostly the same gameplay of SW1.5 but will introduce five all new, long lost campaigns with all new enemies. TLC will also have a few new weapons, and all extra content will be free on armorgames.com (this includes all 8 EC weapons from SW1.5).

BUBBLE TANKS ARENAS isn't the Bubble Tanks 3 that some people have been looking for, but instead, it's a slight variation on the Bubble Tanks series. Rather than searching through an endless field of bubbles for enemies, you will be able to choose from a series of Arenas - Arenas are sequences of bubblefields, but in order to move into the next field you will have to clear the one that you're in of all enemies.

So for example, you may have to clear out 10 progressively more difficult bubblefields to complete an arena. Once you do, you get a score based on how far you got 'till you died, your time to complete, and so forth. Scores are submitted to high score boards and can earn you bubble tokens!

A very exciting feature of BTArenas is that players will be able to design their very own Bubble Tank! Using Bubble Tokens, you can purchase bubbles and better parts and then use your tank to fight in the arenas. We are also toying with the idea of designing your own enemies to submit to our server so millions of other people can fight them in the arenas.

We are extremely excited about the development of these games and hope you'll join us in our anticipation. More information will come later about release dates.
