NiteLite

  • May 2011 – November 2012
  • Platform: Windows 7 and later
  • High Concept: Immersive Tower Defense using Microsoft Kinect
  • NiteLite is a top-down tower defense with Kinect controls that utilizes vision and fog of war. The player must defend buildings from the encroaching darkness by guiding the towers shots with their own light. There is more emphasis on the defending the towers rather than building as towers are spawned on their own over time. Eventually power-ups are obtainable and more ways to fend off the darkness become possible.
