KickStarter Vigilantes: neo-noir, turn based tactical RPG

[Jrpgfan]

I see. Well, don't worry too much about it. Like I said, I'm kinda of a martial arts fag so I'm probably being overly critical about it.

It's actually the third or fourth time its come up, and it's occurred to me quite a few times, so I will at least have a look at it, and figure out if anything can be done without committing a large amount of time to solve. Suspect it won't take a lot of work.

Bruce Lee Thugs....? Hmm...have we ever had a TBS game based on cheesy awesome 80s chinese martial arts flicks? That'd be great!

Something for Timeslip Softworks to consider after the success of Vigilantes? :3

Is it bad I can recognize which movies (or failing that, which actors/actresses they are) those characters are from?

Sounds like a venerable project : )

Lol I love Kung Fu, shame that game didn't turn out better! By the way if you guys like good fighting and don't mind playing something older, try Panza Kickboxing! One of best fighting game I ever played. It was also released on SNES with a few slightly improvements but otherwise identical, as Best of the Best. You get to choose from a big library of moves and assign them to each of your attacks. And the control method was cool too, it meant you could have 14 moves with just one button and direction controls. I am amazed it hasn't been copied since.

First day wearing the developer hat in several weeks. Added 5 new weapons, and tutorials can now be disabled

And we're Greenlit. Thanks a lot for the help : )

One down, one to go. The battle still rages on Kickstarter...

Got a shoutout on the Wasteland 3 Figstarter, and it's already paying dividends:

Dangerous to mention InXile as the good guys on Codex

(Codex was not invited to an interview at an convention. Codex was not tier 1 game journalism. This sparked some resentment)

You didn't have to remove your post man, now I look stupid. It was a joke.

maybe you can reach out to other crowdfunded indie RPGs to get it mentioned. if it doesnt bring money, at the very least it will bring awareness.

Whalenought_Joe maybe for the next copper dreams update? or maybe larian?

Ha, that isn't why I removed it. It was for the other comment. I'd been working for 13 hours, and didn't really trust my judgement being that tired. Have replaced the post!

I knew that guy in the video looked shifty...

On a serious note, it was very good of inXile to give us a mention. It's been a massive help to the campaign. Really good of them to help out the little guy.

I know, it's really great to see that so many are interested in Vigilantes. To be honest, I was getting a bit edgy about the campaign.

less than $250 and 17 days away

any plan on stretch goals?

 

[anvi]

You could have a stretchgoal that adds nVidia Hairworks, and a full mining and crafting system, and also working farms, and motion captured animations. These are the things that matter to gamers.

p.s. I forgot voice acting and music by Jeremy Soule.

Nah, but MCA stretch goal would work fine

We've just crossed the line : ) Thanks a lot to everyone for your support and encouragement along the way.

For stretch goals, we are mostly focusing on content - for the most part, we are hesitant to put new mechanics in as stretch goals. From a technical standpoint, we can likely tackle most of the feature suggestions we've received. We aren't going to be able to do implement every suggestion, but we're going to do as much as we can on this front anyway. Without an extremely high degree of certainty, we don't want to make promises we may not be able to keep. In any case, content: more combat areas, more environment types, more perks, seems to us to bring the best value to the game.

The first stretch goal unlocks at €6,600 - this will add 10 extra combat areas (45 minimum) and 1-2 new environment types.
The next stretch goal unlocks at €7,000 - this will add 10 character perks to the game (I think we've committed to 40 + any perks from the perk tier before this stretch goal)

Could you elaborate on what exactly is meant by environment types? Specifically, how will this affect gameplay?

Thank you for being the only kickstarter ever to name an original planned amount before hyping even more as a stretch goal.

("We'll add 2 more companions!" "Great, how the fuck many were there in the first place?")

IIRC HBS clearly stated how many companions would be in SR:HK. But yeah, in the vast majority of Kickstarter games you're absolutely correct. It's a nice fail-safe for the developers (as long as they have at least X+Y they technically didn't lie / overpromise).
