Hello everyone, this is Troubleshooter development team.

First of all, we are very sorry

 

[NJClaw]

"Thank you Dandylion, you gave us an amazing game and we have utter respect for your passion and dedication"

"We're very sorry we couldn't do better and only made a 150 hours game while subsisting only on water and bugs"

Pierre would be very proud of these guys.

He didn't mention, but be careful: there is a spot between 33-60% hp where she can be killed by single crit from boss, or strong hitting mob even. Especially dangerous with armorbreak stacked. Immortality can save, but too random to rely on it IMO.
Interesting what he says about playstyle in the beginning. E.g. he seems to prefer those flashy glass cannons one-shot-one-kill teams, and says that barbarian's gameplay is odd to him. I on the other hand, really liked having those "never going to die" tanky frontliners for my second playthrough and had two battle mages with similair playstyle even before she joined. Slapped Lunatic Beast berserker masteries on top of Iron Heart(+ infinite heals) later and really enjoyed "1 vs all" brawl combat instead of 1s1k cheese. BM's are technically "slower" because they won't run AND attack on their own during enemies turn, but in the end it hardly matters.

I will accept your giving of pleasure.

Fewer opportunities to say you are sorry? No can do. Work harder!

This is a short, but very interesting interview with the devs:

"As I developed games for pursuing my happiness..."

This single phrase describes the best why I love these devs.

 

[Urthor]

The devs of this game are absolutely 100% the biggest passion project devs I've seen.

The game mechanics are so crazy only an absolute obsessive who loved the genre would care about programming them.

 

[Saark]

He talks about financial planning and how they expected to make more than they did. How the fuck are they still developing the game, for free?

Although we want to have financial insight and we kind of think about financial matters, we simply don’t know very much about that. So, we will just continue to develop games as long as our users enjoy playing them. Then, we believe that one day or other, the financial problems will be solved. Some may say we’re not professional. Yes. We are totally inexperienced in financial matters.

Nevermind.

I see Pierre has found a match when it comes to economics.

As koreans they probably have better knowledge of edible roots tho.

 

[Spectacle]

It's too bad as they say that Kickstarter isn't an option for them because they're in Korea, it would have been a great way to fund Troubleshooter 2.

 

[Reinhardt]

That's one of the very few games i would still trust kickstarter.

 

[Bigg Boss]

I will accept your giving of pleasure.

Give me pleasure baby yeeeaahhh.

 

[vonAchdorf]

They should do it like the Battle Bother guys and release some optional supporter DLC, I already own everything they sell.

especially since we're talking about a group of devs in that case

 

[mediocrepoet]

This reminds me of South Park's underpants gnomes.

1. Develop game.
2. Keep developing game forever.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

This almost makes me want to do work for them. Not that I understand the Korean language or anything.

I've started the game and am trying to run in sword dude as a "run in and counter everything" guy. Problem is he's a bit lacking in sustain. That "blood sword" ability sounds like it would fix it, but I need some sort of "life drain" to get it - any idea where that's from?

So far my plans are

- Sword dude - counter tank that frontlines for the team. Defensive and sword related passives.

- Lightning mage dude - pure focus on ranged damage with the "bloodwalker" mastery (big stat boosts and life on kill when low hp). Save up the chain lightning if a bloodwalker proc is incoming.

- Fire girl - another melee counter person, focus on "hero" and "my dream" passives, send her in alone to do side objectives. Use the ranged attack if the random buffs boost it.

Does that sound like a good plan?

Yep, that's about the size of it, but that's a very early stage - many more tactical opportunities open up as you get more of the characters (Heixing, Ray, Giselle, the robot chick). It can even switch around to having Lightning boy or Martial Arts girl as battlemage tanks to wade in and take the heat, with Ray doing massive AoE, etc.

To toughen up Sword boy, I suggest paying attention to some of the early sets made up of standard masteries, there are some pretty good sets there that beef up just general survivability, etc. - then mid-game you start switching to more esoteric and specifically tailored, intricately interwoven mastery sets made up of rarer masteries. But early on you can really only have one "neat trick" and fill in the rest with those basic mastery sets (e.g. for him, either focus on the parry thing or Bladestorm, leaning towards more defensive or aggressive play, respectively).

If I remember correctly, you will get life drain around the time when you get the fifth party member.

Your plan sounds good. However, Albus is not as tanky as Irene or other characters. He should be treated more like a ninja, but not as a tank. This game has extremely rich build porn. In making a build you are limited only with your imagination. If you have an idea try it, and see how it works.

 

[Zumbabul]

I also want to add that the game has an option to add level cap, so you will not be outleveling missions. If you are looking for a challenge, I recommend you to enable it.

The question you all ask yourself is on bold text.

[Notice] Next Update Announcement

Hello everyone, this is Troubleshooter development team.

We are going to have the next update on 27th October.

The last Violent Case of the "White Lion and Black Witch" DLC will be included in this update.

The last scenario mission of the DLC, however, will be included in the next update due to the development team's circumstances.

The development team apologizes to you that the team is continuously failing of cutting this vicious circle.

Although the update has been delayed than expected, the development team will do its best to provide the promised content.

Thank you.

I wish I was a billionaire and could throw them a couple of $100k.
