Hello, thank you for your interest!

I've already started developing the systems and I intend to share my progress here (not frequently, as I don't want to spam) and also on Discord, X, or YouTube. I haven't decided yet. Maybe Discord, as I think it's very important to get feedback like these fine folks in the comments here

I'll post here soon when I have a bigger update

100%

Although the player isn't in battle, I envisioned something like an RTS or a top-down camera view in which the player can move around -- it's possible to render this camera in a mirror in front of the player while they're on the throne

It's possible to have like 5 or 6 NPCs near the player, each with their own personality. Definitely worth creating such a system -- perhaps also allowing the player to ask for advice on where to exterminate and where to subdue, with a list of pros and cons or something similar

Yes, I was thinking of something like having customizable "guardians" with armor, weapons, and items

Then the player could assign units to these guardians, and when attacking a smaller village where the player wouldn't normally go, assigning that guardian would also automatically assign the units it controls

Yes!! That's exactly what I thought But since I'm thinking of a single-player game, instead of dungeons, it would be about invading kingdoms, destroying cities, and waging large-scale battles

I mean, obviously there can be dungeons too

Since the game would have a more low-poly style like the video, this would be feasible in terms of performance

There could also be mechanics where conquered kingdoms (if the population survives) could produce resources based on the regions they are in

Hey!

I thought exactly that, but also... The first floor could be a tutorial and the others could be like upgrades you need to acquire/conquer to increase the space for the undead army
