All Heroes Die
Forced by need and honor, the last surviving family of a sea-fairing people journeyed half-way around the world to bring an end to their civil war. Upon landfall they all made a solemn vow to their ancestors – they turned their backs on the sea until this quest was complete. The spirits of their ancestors were listening… and will be watching.
All Heroes Die is a hybrid strategy/role-playing game where players control a family of heroes over several generations. Players choose the type of people their heroes become, how their society will develop, and what legacies they will leave the next generation – all while exploring a strange new continent.
The initial All Heroes Die prototype was shown at the Independent Games Conference East in May 2009. We are on track to have an early beta on sale at PAX East in March 2010 for $5. People who buy this beta will get all our updates to the game, forever.
All Heroes Die will be coming out for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems and be available digitally. We are certain we’ll have the Mac and Windows versions for PAX, and the Linux version will not be far behind.
Please check out our development blog for ongoing All Heroes Die updates.
Two screenshots from the May prototype’s introductory animatic can be found here and here. We’ll be adding more screenshots and game info as we get closer to March.
