What's Happening?
Dinolords, a new RTS game blending medieval combat with dinosaurs, is set to begin a closed alpha playtest at the end of October. Developed by Northplay, the game allows players to control knights and Vikings riding dinosaurs in battles. The alpha will include a tutorial, multiple maps, game modes, and a campaign setup with cross-level progression. Players can sign up for the playtest via the Dinolords Steam page, although not all applicants will be invited.
Why It's Important?
Dinolords offers a unique twist on the RTS genre by incorporating dinosaurs, which could attract fans of both strategy games and dinosaur enthusiasts. The game's innovative mechanics may set a precedent for future RTS games, encouraging developers to explore creative themes and gameplay elements. The closed alpha playtest provides an opportunity for players to experience the game early and offer feedback, which can be crucial for refining the game before its official release.
What's Next?
Following the closed alpha, Northplay may gather player feedback to make improvements and adjustments before the game's full release. The success of the alpha could influence the game's development timeline and marketing strategy. If Dinolords receives positive reception, it may lead to further expansions or sequels, solidifying its place in the RTS genre.
