The indie game developers Jugilus who developed Little Space Duo are working on a new game called Legions of Ashworld.

From the blog :

I think it is time to say something about my next game. I have been working on and off on it for almost a year and although it is not yet finished, a lot has been done.

The game is called Legions of Ashworld and it can be classified as a wargame. Some of its characteristics also approaches genres like RPG and adventure. It features quite specific gameplay which is inspired by the old 8bit title The Lords of Midnight (and its on-line fan based adaptation called Midnight/MU). My game will expand on the base concept and many new gameplay mechanics should provide fresh and compelling gameplay experience.

Legions of Ashwold is a fantasy wargame. It is put on one vast land, inhabited by different races and many mysterious places. When a major conflict arise, a player will have to gather an army and lead it toward victory (or defeat ).

The concept of Legions of Ashworld is based on scenarios , which can be single-player or multi-player. I plan to provide one major single player scenario and few multiplayer scenarios for the release version. Of course, scenario based concept also means that custom scenarios will be possible!

A lot more could be said about this game. I will share some thoughts in future, but for now, here is the first screenshot!
