OVERVIEW
Alien 911 is a hybrid 3rd person shooter and tower defense game. You can play it solo or team up for local or online multiplayer. We took our inspiration from Orcs Must Die, Dungeon Defenders, and Sanctum which are games we loved to play together as a family. This is our first game and we're excited to bring it to the Steam community.
BACKGROUND
Development of this game started more than 5 years ago as a way to teach my two sons and my daughter about programming. As a family, we were hooked on the hybrid shooter + tower defense genre and my son was obsessed with drawing alien creatures. We mashed them together with a father's desire to show his kids that they could not only play video games, but they could also learn to create them, and that was the original genesis of our game. Fast-forward to present day and with my kids off to college I decided to dust off the old game idea and enlist the help of some great indie-friendly artists, animators, and developers bring it to life.
