Cold Fusion: A Steampunk Inspired Post Apocalyptic RPG

• • An old west motif creates a steampunk inspired dystopic setting.
  • Multiple-solution format supports diverse play-styles and replay value, and multiple potential endings dependent on the players choices. These will be REAL separate endings. Not a "different color explosion" ending, and not a "which button you pushed in the last 30 seconds" ending we've seen in some recent games. Who is in your party, who lived and died in your adventure, even what items you decided to bring along will affect your end of game options.
  • Enemies will detect and pursue the player, confrontation is not always the best option.
  • All enemies are in-map. Combat is a tactical choice and there will be no random encounters. Cold Fusion is a puzzle/mystery game at its core, and random encounters would interrupt the player's thought process.
  • Survivalist skills of the player will be tested, poor decisions will result in real, permanent consequences to the player and their party. For example: Using a found whiskey still correctly can yield liquor, however mistakes can create poison or possibly explosions.
  • Leveling system is based on equipment and skills growth, not battle experience. This is to encourage the player to scavenge areas and make survival choices.
  • Player interactions with NPC's significantly influence gameplay. To do what it takes survive, you will need a silver tongue, fleet foot, deep pockets, or an itchy trigger. The choice is yours.
  • Party members are the choice of the leader, but be warned that in this harsh and lawless world, you will not be able to bring everyone with you and situations may force the player to choose between being a friend and being a survivor.

It's 1/3 funded and has 12 days to go. Whether or not it makes it is really hard to say.

Would you like to see more steampunk inspired post-apocalyptic games? It seems to be a underused setting as far as RPGs goes.

 

Clicked on the video. Listened to the guy describe the opening cinematic first. Listened to him describe the story second. Gave up.

 

It's good that those graphics are placeholder because that's a really shoddy work with the tiles there.

I hear those RPG Maker XP games can get p. hardware heavy.

 

LOLOL.

 

Sounded very promising until I saw the artwork.
What the fuck is it with ruining games with this fucking childish fucking anime fucking shit?

 

People pay for RPG Maker games? Also, nothing spells out post-apocalyptic steampunk like a nice rural farm land. All these faggots need to do is add zombies as an important plot point and they'll have the holy trinity of hipster genres.

 

Looks banalshitboring. CrimsonAngel will probably buy it if they add zombies though.

 

Just no.

 

Charging for an RPG Maker game? I'm also getting pretty fucking sick of post apocalyptic anything.

 

I liked his dog.

 

He doesn't need 15,000$ to produce a game in RPG maker.

 

5/10: Too obvious.

Nobody needs any cash to produce a game in JRPG maker.

 

Wasn't the adventure To The Moon made with RPG Maker? It costs around 10 bucks.

But yeah, that looks like shit.

 

Looks good


...






oh.

 

I don't understand week languages like Swedish so i cant understand you... you filthy fucking swede

 

I wonder what next week's language will be.

 

LOL'd scrolling from the description to the screenshots

 

I don't see any steampunk in those screenshots.

 

I don't see any post-apocalyptic, RPG, or game at all.

Pretty sure this is a joke unless the author is another Prosperous fellow.

 

What's sad is seeing kickstarters being used like this. It won't be long before they fall out of favor.

 

From the description to the screenshots.. indeed quite a shock, please refrain posting about rpgmakers stuff, theres plenty enough at hongfire.

 

Also loving how everyone did not reply to the question of this topic.
