ABOUT THIS PROJECT 

Hi, I'm Vince, a solo game developer working under Elementum Software Development Services, here in the Philippines. 

This isn't my first attempt at making Decimation. Twelve years ago, I tried to crowdfund an earlier version.  I failed because my scope was too ambitious and I had nothing tangible to show. 

This time is different. 

Over the years, I refined my vision into something realistic and achievable. On May 28, 2024, I committed to intensive development. In the 17 months since, I've built Act 1 from the ground up - implementing all core systems, creating assets, writing code, and crafting audio. 

The free demo you can play now represents this work. It's a clear slice of what the complete game will be. If you enjoy it, you'll likely love the finished game. If not, that's okay too - but thank you for trying it. 

 Why I'm releasing this demo: 

•  To find the audience this game is for 
•  To gather feedback and make the game better 
•  To prove I can deliver on this vision 

EARLY ACCESS COMING SOON 

Early Access is planned for late 2025, which will include: 

•  The complete Act 1 (4 levels) 
•  All future Acts (2-4) as free updates when they're ready 
•  All additional features and game modes 
•  Regular development updates

DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP 

This is a rough timeline based on current progress. Development may be faster or slower depending on various factors, but I'm committed to finishing this game. 

Target Q1 2026: Act 2 development complete
Target Q2 2026: Act 3 development complete
Target Q3 2026: Act 4 development complete
Late 2026/Early 2027: Final polish and full release 

These dates are estimates and subject to change based on development pace and feedback. 

WHAT MAKES DECIMATION DIFFERENT? 

Hybrid Gameplay: Combine strategic tower placement with direct action combat. You're not just watching towers fight - you control a hero in battle yourself.

RPG Progression: Unlock abilities, find or craft equipment, customize your loadout. Your character and heroes grow stronger throughout the campaign.

Story-Driven Campaign: Each act tells part of a larger narrative. You're not just defending random points - you're fighting for something.

Solo-Developed Love: Every pixel, every line of code, every sound effect has been worked on by one person who cares deeply about this project.
