Project Announcement & Pitch!

Hello you lovely people, and thanks for stopping by!

Liberation Games is hereby announcing their latest project - Pact, the horde-building RTS! Development is active, and it currently is expected that a playable demo will be available by mid-July 2021.

More in-depth details about the design, story, and mechanics to come, but for now, here's the pitch:

Ever notice how evil factions in just about everything are usually made up of a bunch of different, smaller groups of nasty things? Ever play a game in the Dungeon Keeper genre and find yourself gravitating towards certain types of units and not others, mostly because you think they're cool? Ever wonder what would happen if, say, the werewolves had joined a certain faction instead, and their enemies were forced to find other allies? Pact is built upon these questions, along with a love for a variety of classic RTSs, and draws inspiration from the likes of Dungeon Keeper, Age of Empires, Stronghold, and The Settlers.

In Pact, you'll start as a single race in a wider world. As you build your base and explore within a match or campaign, you'll come upon new factions, some friendly, some hostile, and many looking to know what you - and others like you - can offer them. Prove your worth by trading with and rendering aid to these factions, and you may find them willing to add their strength to yours. Nothing exists in a vacuum however, and your actions may just cause another group to run into the arms of an enemy. Weigh carefully whose allegiance you might most prefer. Act too slow, and you may not have a choice of bedfellows anyway, as your competitors upstage you and woo your favorites first! 

Each faction, from bandits to undead to demons (and every evil thing in between!), comes with their own strengths to bring to your alliance. The choices you make will not only drastically affect your playstyle, but also provide you with a growing coalition that is both visually and functionally distinct. By preference or necessity, your experience will be both unique and personal!

We're excited to bring this project to you, and hope you will join us on its journey to completion!
