"Excellency" - A spiritual successor to Overlord that we are developing (Devlog 1?)
Here is a little showcase of minions attacking boxes.

Also, they can gang up on this single enemy.

In the current build, almost all basic controls and mechanics are meticulously copied from Overlord 1 and 2. The foundation has been laid for the AI system, magic system, etc.
As for innovation, you can order minions to use their shields.

In this state, they are slower, but sturdier. Perfect for distraction.
For the gameplay, we plan to give the player character more support tools, rather than focusing mostly on dealing damage, which was the case in Overlord. Also, we are shooting for a semi-open world map without loading screens. Hope we figure this out, he-he.
As for the story, it will take the premise of the original Overlord, but will lean more towards the vibe and aesthetic of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" fairy tale. So expect a lot of snow and ice. There is also some Slavic mythology influence. Speaking of that, here's how the minion looks.
Also, here's concept art of the protagonist and various buildings.
That's it for now. Stay tuned for the next update.
