History

Gnome More War is a remake of a minigame I made back in 2006.

It was supposed to be a minigame for an action RPG I was making at the time, which I never got around to finish. It was inspired by Pooyan and as a minigame it only had one level with a more randomized enemy spawn-- there's also no power-ups and upgrades at the time. I decided to remake it using the Unity game engine.

Development of Gnome More War started in 2016. I have a web-based prototype up on Gamejolt. After releasing a playable demo on Gamejolt I decided to start working on the mobile version that will have all the additional features.

Since then I've been developing the game on my spare time, which was around 1 hour a day on average. I work as a full time software engineer, mostly on payment systems, and making this game serves as a stress release for me-- if that makes sense considering making games can be quite stressful! :)
