DEATH INC. - on kickstarter -I will update this new forum instead of the old post
It is being made by Ambient Studios, founded by ex-Media Molecule (Little Big Planet) and ex Lionhead staff. They designed the prototype and mod system.
Get the DEMO here -http://www.deathincgame.com/demo/
Death Inc. has 2 key parts
1) It has a business/base management aspect for keeping control of your minions and for build rooms and completing research.
2) You unlock real time missions, in which you siege castles and take on enemy lords or the king of England. The missions will have multi-stage maps and physics based puzzles for castle sieges.
The game employs a new painting mechanic for troops movement. You can change the colour of the streams for different troop types and you can perform complex actions by using mouse gestures such as setting patrols by drawing a complete loop.
They update regularly and for £30 - $46 you can get your name in the game as a villager.
£40 - $62 Dollars they have now announced you can name a cow that might or might not explode.
The higher the pledge the more in game characters you can name.
The game can be found here- they will update the pitch this week to focus more on the game play shown in the updates.

The base management is designed in the vein of theme hospital and Evil genius. It allows you to hire employees and send them off on missions. while improving your arsenal of weapons and magic skills. Think plague rats/ exploding cows.
Details on the business side can be found here.
