Prisonscape - a prison RPG

[PekkaK]

Whats with the monsters at the end? Is the main character Jackie Estacado? is this the darkness rpg i have been promised by the voices under my bed?

Seeing monsters while being shot isn't normal. But on meth it is.

I hope the developers try out meth for themselves, to test new gameplay possibilities.

I'm more of a shroom person myself, but never say never!

Look at the eyes on his avatar. I fully support Kem0sabe on this matter.

Sounds like you found your $55000 stretch goal.

Promise to have your PR guy spring for a comb at $60000 and I'll increase my pledge.

That's one expensive comb...

Then for $100 000 one of us has to actually commit a crime and go to prison? You know, for research.

I'm ok with this.

Gameplay vids have been requested many times, so here's a little video we did about crafting:

Interesting project, hope you guys will make it !

As a side note, have you watched the series Oz ? Might provide some extra inspiration if needed.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Sodomy should feature heavily

 

[cherry blossom]

Will there be tattoos? I was just reading about symbolism of prison tattoos. Interesting stuff.

I've seen Oz like... 3 times. It's one of my favorite shows with The Wire.

There will be some. It's a prison, after all.

We talked about tattoos long time ago. I think it would be kinda cool if the character could get some gang tattoos after being a member for a while, but I'm not sure if this will make into the game. Definitely maybe.

Eurogamer wrote a short article about our Kickstarter, it seems that the writer didn't like our idea...

You've really got to be explicit in mentioning that the supernatural things is your character tripping, I think.

Fuck those mainland degenerates, they have a Portuguese version of their site, thats the only thing you need to know about them.

Your game is unique, it looks awesome and from the gameplay videos it seems to be well executed. I love games based around the concept of prison life, Butcher Bay sadly was the last good effort in that regard.

Best of luck, you have my backing since day one.

Yeah, we do. I think we'll have to make a gameplay vid where it's shown better. We'll post an update that'll have a video about the quest system in the game today or tomorrow.

If there is a demo, maybe ask YouTubers with high viewership to showcase it, Brother None said Total Biscuit does not do Kickstarter or Early Access videos anymore but it doesn't hurts to still ask him I think or maybe ask Jesse Cox since Larian linked to his videos a few times in their updates.

Maybe pick something YouTube material as your demo if its not too much trouble, Most viewers are kind of retarded so anything comedy or funny might get them interested more. Supper BunnyHop said in his review of Goat Sim that it was made into a game and became popular just because PewDiePie made comment that he wanted to play it or something.

We talked about this with Tuomas (the programmer) and decided against it. They could have been a great help, but we feel that the game is not yet polished enough to give it out for LPers. It's a shame, as they are usually great promotion for these campaigns.

 

[PekkaK]

We added a simple example of how job (quest) branching works. Just a reminder, this is still quite early alpha so the dialogue options are not very rich, but we're working on them.



Hope you enjoy it, and any feedback is appreciated.

We're at 10k / 20% on KS, we really have to step up our game if we want to make the goal. Greenlight is going REALLY well, we're at 81% to Top 100 now, here's some statistics for those interested:

It seems that we'll be able to get the game on Steam at some point, which is great for business (I suppose). To be honest I'm getting pretty tired promoting the campaign, I'd just like to make the goddamn game already...

You need to get this game on the front page of some gaming blogs/news sites.

I know it has not been easy.

Yeah that's definitely the biggest problem - none of the bigger sites seem to be interested in the game. Maybe the game is just too niche or the graphics aren't appealing enough or the idea is boring. One can only guess.

If I had to wager a guess, i'd probably say it's the graphics. Pixel art stuff is really a niche in this day and age. Either that or the fact that prison levels in video games aren't very well liked, as far as I'm aware. They're the levels where weapons, abilities, etc. gets taken away from the player, and players don't like to feel that sense of de-empowerment, probably. Especially considering that prison levels are usually tightly constrictive in terms of player choice and freedom of action (almost like being in prison! :shock.

That's just speculation on my part. I actually like prison levels.

Aesthetically, it kind of looks like an RPGmaker game. People probably look at it and wonder why an RPGMaker game is looking for 50k. Have to say that I wondered the same, despite an interest in the subject matter.
