The pure 2D art style is boring. I like how ogre battle 64 the in fight background art while 2d gave the illusion of a 3d world. Can only expect so much from indies though.

The demo for this is pretty cool. I didn't expect much at first, but it hit all the right notes for my tactics JRPG nostalgia. Have they announced any sort of release date target?

Wow, that was a surprisingly sudden release. Hovering over buy button...

EDIT: Whoops, my finger slipped.

 

[cyborgboy95]

The game has just released but there are already recommendations from players with the records of more than 100 hours of playtime (counting these players' time spent on the beta as well)... Bought!

 

[Acrux]

I've wanted an Ogre Battle style game on PC for a while. This looks really interesting!

 

[Carpincho Pampeano]

Will buy on winter sale, got too many stuff to play right now... might also go to jail so it's not top priority right now.

Going from possibly landing a new job in Japan to possibly going to jail. Excuse my curiosity, but how?

 

[HoboForEternity]

Whoa, looks good. Straight to the wishlist it goes

Well, this was unexpected.

[Hobo Elf]

Watched some gameplay footage and aside from the obviously nice visuals I noticed that the music was really good as well. Hnng, I have so many other games to play right now, but this looks so good and I wanna support the dev(s?).

 

[Sarkile]

I think the dev should be supported just for the idiocy I see him dealing with in the Steam forums. Poor guy.

I'm not allowed to talk about the details.

The dev is pretty nice guy, almost at Troubleshooter dev level.

The usual should be for devs to be kind and courteus to their audience, but for western devs the ideal seems to be Phil Fish. This not only applies to devs, localizers, game reviewers and even voice actors despise their public really makes you think.

That poor dev. He is getting drilled about same sex relationships. He included them (of course because you have to I guess) but didnt wish to answer someone asking because he knew inevitably it would turn out poorly. So then someone got upset at him for NOT answering.

Video game romances are a mistake 100% of the time.

Though I'd be amused to see something like: Yes, romances. Yes, only hot lipstick lesbian relationships for same sex romances, fags don't exist in my fantasy world.

 

[Sunri]

He should just say yes and move on or ignore the question, no reason to respond further to some moron.

I think the problem is that the people who get like that just get louder and whinier over time. He dealt with it as best as he could, personally, I'd probably answer something specifically just to piss them off whether it was true or not.

I actually don't have any trouble with people doing whatever makes them happy, but why it has to be in everything is beyond me. It's really tiresome.

 

[Carpincho Pampeano]

Someone should make a game with only straight relationships to fuck over faggots but at the end every single romance option ends up cucking your character just to also fuck over romance fags.

More developers need to grow a pair vs taking their shit on the premise that it's necessary cucking of some sort. There's a few outliers that some of you here know like Cleve, and Daniel Vavra (warhorse studios) who just tell these people to fuck off. KCD sold very well in spite of Dan telling them to fuck off and go make their own game if they don't like it. The more the woke mob attacks your game, the more free advertising you get. If you're lucky, they might even scream loudly enough to get you some free TV advertising.

There are a lot of people bitching at him because they want to grind old missions over and over. He explains that grinding isn't necessary for the game, and if you're struggling to lower the difficulty. These people are as ridiculous as the idiots that used to bitch because Fallout 1 had the quest for the water chip timed.
