I posted about this on the "obscure indies" thread earlier, because I wasn't aware that there was an actual thread for the game on the forum. Regardless, it recently got an updated demo that I came across earlier on its MODDB page.

This dev log for upcoming turn based RPG, Prometheus Wept, covers the addition of 2 new maps and 2 new outlaw gangs, which will appear in Act 1 Mission 4. Comments and feedback most welcome!

Prometheus Wept Dev Log April 2022: New Outlaw Gangs and Maps
Hi!

Below you will find the dev log for April 2022. I've made good progress on act 1 mission 4, where you must locate the missing Dr Kriesler by finding evidence, questioning people and searching for him. It's a big mission, which spans multiple locations and introduces two new outlaw gangs.

One of these gangs is the Blue Screen of Death Tribe. They believe the virus that wiped out all digital technology in the mid 21st century was a divine manifestation, which sought to free humanity from the shackles of technology.

How you handle act 1 mission 4 has numerous consequences. Whether or not you can locate Kriesler will have repercussions. You will also have to choose which of two factions to support, which will in turn decide which of two potential allies will join your party.
Key Points:

- 2 out of 3 maps required for this mission are complete
- 4 out of 10 character models have been created, optimised and made game ready
- Started second draft of writing
- Added 2 new outlaw gangs
- Spent a fair bit of time on unavoidable company admin work :/
- The company admin work is finished now

Thanks for reading / watching and if you have any questions or comments, please let me know!

All the best,

Daithi

Hey - hope you're keeping well. Here are a couple of extra images for the investigation part of the mission, which brings you to Dr Kriesler's home and Sunny Pines' printing press.

Update #14

Prometheus Wept Dev Log: June - Aug 22: A1M4 Complete, World Map, Work on Illustrations​

August 26, 2022
Hi there,
I hope you're having a good day. It's taken longer than I'd hoped, but Act 1, Mission 4 of Prometheus Wept is complete. Here's the development video, and you'll find additional information below:



Act 1 Mission 4:
In Act 1 Mission4, you are charged with locating Dr. Kreisler, who has gone missing under unusual circumstances.

Spoiler

You begin by visiting multiple locations in Sunny Pines, including Kriesler's house, to search for clues. Once you've narrowed down the search area with clues, you get a number of search attempts to locate the missing doctor.

Along the way, you'll encounter a number of unusual gangs, who have formed as a result of bizarre misunderstandings about the pre-virus world.

If you managed to find enough evidence, you will locate Kriesler. If not, Sunny Pines will have to do without him. Either way, you will encounter an usual entity with big plans for Sunny Pines, who will either join your party or serve as the primary antagonist of act 1, depending on your choices.

Release Schedule:
The intention is to release an updated demo for Kickstarter backers in the coming months, to participate in the Steam Next Festival in February, and to release on early access in Q1/2 2023.

Work on Illustrations:
All of the 40+ character illustrations have been improved, as have some dozens of the item illustrations.

World Map:

Code to implement the world map has been added, as has a provisional map for act 1.

That's all for now - sorry this update was delayed - I appreciate your patience and will check in again next month
Have a nice weekend,
Daithi

Seriously?

 

[Nutria]

Noooooooo you can't have a portrait for a character we don't know about that has the wrong kind of hair. This is just like when the Jewish globohomos try to make me get vaccinated.

It's not about the wrong kind of hair, it's just every other game dropping that kind of shit to please the woketards.
It didn't bother me back in the days in Shadowrun P&P because of the settings and the rarity.

Nowadays, there's 10000 times more lesbians with mohawk haircuts in series, movies and video games than I've crossed path with.
It's just fucking tiring.

 

[udm]

Timeslip are there any updates to combat mechanics (not counting hacking), specifically to make them deeper? I've never been a fan of sticky cover systems but I thought it was done suitably well enough in the first game to be ignored since the other aspects like item diversity and wound effects were captivating enough. However, the repetitiveness of combat really started to wear me down towards the last few levels. You know how it is with NuXCOM-likes. It becomes very much more of the same after some time.

I just realised a mohawk is probably hard to maintain in a post apoc environment, so how does it even stay there?

Grease isn't exactly high-tech product.

It's not a mohawk. The base is circular.

Ancient Celts used lime-water to stiffen their hair, allowing them to shape it in ways similar to the mohawk.

Source?
Did that really happen? And if it did, how (un)common was it?

 

[Acrux]

You're seriously asking for a source on that? It's widely known, so even if it wasn't common it's something many people would have heard of.

Anyway, if you want the original source it's Diodorus Siculus.

Diodorus Siculus, along with other ancient authors, also mentions how the Celts used to artificially ‘whiten’ their hair with lime water. This practice probably alluded to a ritual where the warrior adopted the horse as his totem, and thus aspired for the blessings and protection of Eponia, the horse goddess.

Interestingly enough, the lime-washing possibly even hardened the hair to some degree (though overuse caused the hair to fall out), which could have offered slight protection against the fluky slashes directed towards the head
