Announcing Roaming Fortress!
I’m very pleased to announce a new game under development: Roaming Fortress!
Developed in partnership with our friends (and fellow Michiganders) over at YETi CGI, Roaming Fortress will be one of our bigger titles- featuring epic battles between your giant upgradable fortress on the back of a massive creature against hordes of oncoming enemies. Not only can you defend your fortress with Spearmen, Archers, Catapults and more as you watch the gigantic battle unfold and your orders are carried out, but you’ll be able to use your hero to fire arrows yourself into the fray and use special abilities. The game will also feature several locations to battle through and an array of really sweet enemies. Enemy units can even mount other units, for example you might come across a siege tower with a fire mage on top, pushed by a huge ogre- killing the ogre will leave the siege tower standing and mage still attacking you!
The game features some gorgeous 3d rendered art and it is really looking fantastic. We should have some screenshots in the next couple of months that I can throw up on here as well as some updated information about the game.
Expect some more kick-ass games as a result from our collaborating with YETi, they are putting out some amazing work and it means we’ve got a lot of good stuff headed your way. 
Thats AWSOME!!!!!!!
Pretty neat. I might try it when it comes out.
Add P*x*l *, and you’ve got…lessee…1…3…8…carry the 6, divide the integer here….minus the quantum numeral….add the XeMN variable, plus -940,000….
Yes, FIVE games! That’s a new record. Good job.
Wow that is really COOL! There is another game I’m looking forward to!
I’m thoroughly interested in following development on this game, it looks like it could come out as a front runner of the flash game universe if well done, and it could establish a niche amongst tower defense games and war games that manages to get the best of both worlds, hope to see more about this soon
keep it up HI
cant wait
Dude,we all (or at least most of us do)that p*x*l* is *i*e*2 (add them together)
Nooooooo, the Trollz must not know!
At least, until Jared officially announces it, which is sometime soon, I hope.
Lol. Bubble go boom, you’re talking about Pixel 2, but you didn’t even say anything about it.
Well, I will say something about it, then.
It will be a sequel.
To keep a lowdown I have a word to say.
There will be a total of 8 games at one in the future.
In addition to what Goon said, it will also be similar to the 1st Pixel game.
OOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh it looks great lets play it.(hacks into into herointeractives computer to downloud beta. >:)
When pixel 2 will be released???
Look, we are working on Pixel 2 only slightly at this point. There isn’t a whole lot of information available about it, so we haven’t announced it on the blog. When we know something, we’ll let you know. Until then, there’s not much point in asking about it.
Will there be a Microbe Kombat 2?
Looks awesome, can’t wait to see more!
the pic on the main page shows a little bit of 3-D and it look to good, it looks out of place on the Hero Interactive website
Hero Interactive is my most favorite game creator in the whole world! They make the most coolest games, my most favorite is the bubble tank series!
this is more like it i love these types of games will your toroops go along the path or stand on the castle??? will you go up in ages e.g from bows to pistols catapults to cannons ect
goon good point by the way will there be a microbr combat 2 or a pirate defence 2 ether one will be good
i would really like a microbe combat 2, its my 2nd favourite game, anyway, this game looks like fun too
wow
if your doing all that you should make it an online multiplayer game
Spear-men, archers, catapults! A dream come true.
Thank you HI, thank- *faints*
Doctor: CLEAR! *electric sounds*
Me: huh? where am I? oh right (thank-) You
if you fail:
see more Señor Gif
I would rely like a microbe combat 2.Mabe one where you can pick what kind of microbe you are.
YEAHHH!!!!! This looks so awesome… Everything about it is just plain sweet, the graphics are amazing and having a bunch of mounting is a great idea. But why does a dinosaur need to carry a village? Just let the dino destroy the enemies lol.
Jared,I thought I would never see it but you used the “a” word.Why?You could have just used the word “butt” instead of a bad word.The only difference between the “a” word and ‘butt”,is the “a” word is a bad word.So why not just use “butt”?
Looks Mint! When will it be released?
This looks really cool. I can’t imagine how you come up with these ideas…
Diplodocids are not violent in nature, therefore they do not hunt meat and terrorize people.
Meaning it COULD carry a village peacefully (as it is with Bruhathkayosaurus, Amphicoelias, and Supersaurus).
However, their calm nature prohibits them from attacking enemies without provocation. Besides, it would be dangerous for the dino to attack if a huge village was mounted on its back!
what type of RTS will it be? like just two fortress attacking each-other with units or two fortress
awesome
sorry the comment by above(the one by me) I accidently sent before i finished heres the full one: what type of RTS will it be? like just two fortress attacking each-other with units,can
sorry the comment by above(the one by me) I accidently sent before i finished AGAIN X( here’s the full one: what type of RTS will it be? like just two fortress attacking each-other with units, or do you capture buildings and will there be deployment animation like Calvary comes down a ramp ,infantry come down a hatch,etc.and here’s some ideas for units and turrets 1: a basic peasant unit that has low damage/health and medium speed 2:a basic soldier that has a little more health/damage but has slightly lower speed 3: thief/rogue unit that has very high speed and damage but has low health 4: a bomber guy with 1 hit point and explodes when killed that doesn’t hurt allies 5: healer type unit that heals with medium health/speed and negative damage (heals allies) and lots of other units like ranged guys, mages , and End Game Unit
Hey nice, this sounds like a very interesting idea!
I must The micro-games you’ve been pushing out every month - jimmy bubblegum, paint the fence, hero guy have not excited me very much. I haven’t even played most of them. But this sounds very good.
Anyways looking forward to this!
PS. MICROBE KOMBAT TWOOOOOO!
You should give them a shot Militant.Jester. Although the mini-games are not huge epic adventures, they ARE fun for the 5-10 minutes you play them.
OMG THAT’S AWESOME!……….can’t wait!
Sounds pretty creative, looking forward to it, as I do all your games.
So far all of HI games are very cool, I wonder what else they have in there heroic minds.
This game looks completely epic!! Can’t wait!

A:I used my brain and found it on the YETI site
i cant find the site why? and here’s some more unit ideas 1:peasant a cheap unit with low health/damage,medium speed 2:soldier unit cost slightly more then peasant with a little more health/damage but slower 3: thief/rogue unit with medium cost that has very high speed/damage but has low health special attack: poison damage 4: a bomber guy that’s cheap but with very low health and has medium damage/splash radius 5:a archer unit with medium range/damage/speed/health cost more a bit more then soldier 6:Calvary unit medium-high cost,high speed/health/damage has a special attack:if it charging and a enemy unit stops it,it does piercing damage 7:mage unit medium cost/damage/range low splash/health,also please make advanced versions of units so you don’t have to use basic mages/archers for ranged attacks here’s more ideas for upgrades 1(or
a magic upgrade to all of mages stats(including cost) 3: range upgrade same as magic upgrade,but with archer 4:better steel upgrade increases all units (except mage)armour/damage/pierce 5:better poison to poison damage/duration 6:better castle castle health/number of turrets/size, lol long comment oh, and turret ideas (:D) 1:ballista(a big crossbow) 2: catapult more upgrades allow explosive/elemental catapults 3:cannon 4:archer 5:wizard tower just does fire/lightning/ice/air/water/earth/poison(depending on witch wizard)sorry that’s all I can think of 
well, if you don’t know how to use the site you can at least see some stuff about the game

Hey I hope I don’t die, I think you should add some other structures, like a Turret, school, wizardry school, zoo, and shop.
you all know what the turret can do so lets go to the schools, the schools can make your army better and helps you learn more stuff. The wizardry school helps make sorcerers a lot better with magic (if there are wizards) and helps you learn spells. The zoo allows you to train many beasts like lions, griffins and the like, the shop can help you buy assorted items between waves.
… WHOA…
There aren’t words that can describe how awesome this sounds.
A few questions:
1: Is your Roaming Fortress stationary or is it continuously roaming? Or do you choose your path of travel?
2: Does your beastie actually inflict damage on enemies?
3: When you upgrade your fortress, does the beastie get bigger as well?
4: Is the beastie like some kind of dinosaur?
5: What era is the game based upon? Medieval?
6: Can you upgrade your hero’s attacks?
7: As you mentioned before, killing certain enemies garrisoned in/on/around a form of transport or enhancement will effect it. Besides the ogres and siege towers, what else is there? Are there knights and horses? Dragons and spearmen?
8: Are we allowed to make enemy suggestions?
9: How many archers can you have on the fortress?
————————————————–
Well, that’s all for now. Goodnight mates!
Oh, before I forget, I just reallized something:
JARED PUT A BAD WORD ON THE BLOG!!! :O
Kickass is not a bad word.
Okay, technically, it is a semi-swear. But due to its meaning, the swear is dropped and replaced with epicness.
It is a synonym for Awesome, Sweet, Cool, Epic, Chuck Norris, Badass(which is a bit more mature form), Super Epic Awesome Deluxe Mega Supreme, and Super Calif Fragil Istic Expi Ala Docious.
Very interesting, both the concept and the execution of said concept.
The idea of controlling a moving fortress and a defense game combined is fascinating. So is making the fortress move by putting it on the back of a giant beast of burden.
Tell it like it’s real, Goon!
Oh, it’s also a synonym for Cow. COW!!! lol
In case you guys don’t know, cow is a new synonym for beast. So if you want, instead of saying “That’s beast”, you can say “That’s cow”. Pretty cow, right?
Sadie- how do you bold words?
Silence- I know, right? It kind of reminds me of an old dream I had.
It was kinda like an idea for a video game. You were a person on a cool cart thing. You roamed around a huge world on it. It was cool because it was like a mobile home. On it, it had cool little artifacts you found on your journeys, it had supplies for living, it had rations, and it also had weapons like swords and shields. The cart could float in water, too. So you could go on land or on water. It was like some cool RPG in my head.
Speaking of RPG’s like this, who’s played Demon’s Souls here? No one? Come on! It’s an awesome game!
i hope i don’t die- What’s the YETI site? The link AND typing in the URL for the link isn’t working for me. It only shows the “assesment” you fill out after you play it. Any ideas or opinions?
Also, the idea of putting the city/fortress on what appears to be a giant sauropod is completely feasible.
The dinos from this infraorder can (and often do) weigh several tons. And with that kind of weight, they would need strong backs, which would give them the ability to carry massive loads.
The neck on that blue beast looks somewhat short for a sauropod. Perhaps its a creature in between long-necked sauropods and short-necked rhinos. The body appears to look like a dino, with the lizard legs, the tail seems to be sauropod-like in nature (though admittedly, somewhat short) and the neck is closer to what a rhino would have, though the head appears to be a sauropod’s.
A truly fascinating specimen.
All of this ^ was just a simple observation and an opinion, nothing more.
Silence- Uhh… What? lol
jk jk man
Will this be a online game or a download game?
@parasite, those are the things in the curent version of the game, not what I made up
Sorry I hope I don’t die, I noticed that after I posted it, I think HI should add them through.
http://yeticgi.com/#/demo_reel
go here to watch some videos of projects YETI is doing.
about a quarter way through the video there is a gameplay vid of Roaming Fortress.
o man that vid makes me wont to play evan more…
Hey HI why don’t you add those structures I made up? I think the zoo and school you really should add.
Stop leaking info.
leaking info?
Yes. Stop it. Stop it now.
Goon, shut up already. It’s not like you can MAKE Parasite stop on command. He’s not some house cat or something.
pixel 2 is a good idea and btw jared will you make more 3d games?
Hey! Don’t tell me to shut up! I thought we already resolved this conflict!!!
Well, I guess I was wrong.
And all I wanted was for Parasite to stop leaking classified info of which should not be leaked. Sure, I may have been a BIT harsh, but it’s not like I was ordering him around like some kind of pet.
Sorry Goon, I did not mean to leak info, but I think you should stop too.
Has HI/YETi CGI assigned a name to the species of that blue beast of burden yet, or does such a species have a real name?
Yeah. It’s called BIIIIIIIIG. Otherwise known as Amphicoelias/Bruhathkayosaurus.
Or maybe it is a Suaroposeidon or a Seismosaurus.
Or maybe some other type of huge, possibly undiscovered Diplodocid.
While the the body and leg size is right (or close enough) for any of those, the dino in the pictures seems to have a really short neck in comparison. Also the head is much larger than any of those in proportion to its body.
Like I said, it is possibly some undiscovered, long-necked dinosaur.
But remember that this IS just a video game.
Hey!!!!!I jst got back from London which in my opinion is the most awesome city in the world so did I miss anything?????
Nice newbee! There is some new games like Shifty, Roaming Fortress, and a new update for Retired Wizard Defense.
P.S. Tell me what its like in London.
yhea tell us
This blog has been dead for more then a week, is anyone going to post at all?!
I WILL
PLEASE someone tell me that this isn’t going to take as long as the stormwinds MRC!!!!!?????
Okay. It won’t. I suspect that it will take longer because it’s going to be more difficult to program.
Aliens exist, prove otherwise.
This looks pretty epic
But now the anticipation from waiting is killing me
anyways yay new awesome looking game ^(^o^)^
What the… they wrote kick-a**.
Guess it is a good idea to quit this place.
They said it’s kickarse because it IS kickarse. They wouldn’t call it kickarse if it wasn’t kickarse, would they?
Besides, kickarse is hardly a swear compared to the other disgusting slang out there, believe me.
Goon, that word is still swear. If you are saying it is not then why are you spelling it wrong?
arse is teh old way of saying that bad word. let’s not teach the new generation of such things
