Beat 'em ups were probably my favourite genre in the arcades back in the day,have most of them in MAME in my pc right now.BTW where are Cadillacs and Dinosaurs,Punisher and Alien vs Predator?

 

[LESS T_T]

BTW where are Cadillacs and Dinosaurs,Punisher and Alien vs Predator?

I'm not sure cost of re-licensing all that will fit in $24.99. Also the licensees probably won't like being bundled as one product with games that are nothing to do with their own IP.

Eh you are probably right about the licensing,didn't think about it but this thing is going to cost 25$?That's a bit expensive for just 7 old mostly 16bit era games,Sega has their mega drive bundle for 30 and it includes like 50 games and you can get most of them for just 1$ separately if I remember correctly

[Bocian]

Oh shit, Prosper released the game!

 

[Dreed]

It's a very difficult game.
Because in reality, an inflatable doll can be very difficult to resist.
So we tried to simulate real life as much as possible.
Let you experience what it's like to be a sex doll.

The inflatable dolls will come in the form of underwear only.
Killing humans will have the effect of lens bleeding.

I thought I've seen enough from screenshots, but that video...

That's some nightmare fuel

Once Lunais has explored a bit she can find some NPCs and bring them back to a hub area. Some of them will offer her quests to kill a certain number of enemies, find information about the future, or recover a lost item. I found it interesting that pretty much every important character in the game, from the protagonist to the NPCs, is LGBTQ. There's even a sidequest where you help two male characters go on a date late in the game.

However, literally all of the protagonists are LGBTQ. There are 6 main characters and they're all LGBTQ. Two are gay males in a relationship, one is bi male who was in a relationship with one of the gay males, one is transgender MtF, one is a gay asexual female (dates women but doesnt wnat sex), and the protagonist is bi with a preference for women and ends up in a relationship the MtF.

This isn't diversity and all of the plot points related to it are entirely removed from the main story. They're delivered through side quests that focus on their LGBTQ nature, and when you complete them all, you get a solid five minute scene where they all talk about their sexuality

The writing was outsourced to a company called Silverstring Media:

A 2D Metroidvania Platformer successfully Kickstarted in 2014, Timespinner is about a young woman who travels through time to destroy the empire that killed her family. Silverstring Media was hired to help develop and streamline the expansive story universe, strengthen the core story, and write the dialogue for the game. Timespinner is being developed by Lunar Ray Games.

Sounds like Codex GOTY material to me.
