This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Check out our KickStarter page

We're raising $8,000 to pay artist to upgrade our placeholder graphics to real ones.

So far many core mechanics and principals have been made while being accompanied by placeholder graphics.

What is Underground Throne?

Underground Thone is a Dungeon RTS inspired by old classicl RTS games like Impossible Creatures, Dungeon Keeper and Tanktics.
Dungeon Keeper was too great of a game to let it fall into the Free-to-Pay route, so I decided to make my own spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper's legacy.
This game does not ship with any of that bogust Freemium scams, but is simply a 1-time payment app, like gaming should be.
It is currently in the AlphaPrime state and plans to be cross-platform between Linux, Mac and Windows thanks to Game Maker Studio.
The current build is being done in GameMaker 8.1.


Game Features:

A real time strategy in nicely created dungeon maps
Control a group of goons, minions and "kidnapped heroes" into your destiny of being the underground super power.
Pickup and drop your troops onto terrain
Digging your dungeon into total perfection while annihilating those who oppose.
Protect your dungeon command center while destroying enemy forces and their dungeon command center .
Build dynamic rooms and infrastructure
Train your minions
Fuse minions together to create freaks of nature with unstoppable strengths.
Smack a minion, like a boss.
NO FREE-TO-PLAY foolishness
NO PAY-TO-WIN nonsense


Expect frequent updates to this page.
Also for those purchasing the game expect milestone builds of the game.
