KickStarter Vigilantes: neo-noir, turn based tactical RPG

[Timeslip]

Endings in. A few minor bugs looked at. Curious as to what people will make of the endings. The outcomes might be a little unexpected...

Do you find out the lead is really a female like a Crying Game reversal in one of the endings? If not you should add that one in to generate awareness and swell your coffers with people buying it to support it that have no interest in playing it.

The backstory could be she was walking around getting catcalled so started injecting testosterone to get payback. One thing led to another then - walla.

Better snap you up as a script writer before some AAA studio gets there first. We'll be sitting at the Baftas this time next year.

Wait, there're Baftas for video games?

This is why I always keep my expectations low.

Save games from V25+ are compatible, this is from around 6 months back. If you aren't far in to your play through, probably best to restart though.

Whoa, pretty good
Got goosebumps from the trailers.
It does feel even improving in the order listened to them.

You're probably the only person who noticed The impression I got was that everyone else thought they were pretty much the same, and that I'd cracked under the pressure.

 

[ushas]

Lol, hope not, or... great, now am questioning my own sanity
Either case, at least it's handy from the marketing perspective. Thanks to repetition having pretty much ingrained "Hit the streets. Take back your city!".

Vigilantes V30 Released!
Vigilantes - Timeslip


Hi everyone,

You may have noticed a small update going through earlier today. The current version of Vigilantes should be considered a release candidate, meaning it may or may not be the release version, depending on whether an issue of sufficient severity to merit a rebuild is found in the next few days.

While Vigilantes won't change substantially before release, if you want to ensure you are playing the release version, or benefit from the release discount, which will be available from 04 October, my recommendation would be to hold off until then.

This update is, by design, small, conservative, and important. Most significantly, it adds the voiced endings to the game. Which of the two endings you get depends on Sam's reputation when you defeat the third and final gang boss. They represent two very different outcomes for Sam and Reiker City (and perhaps beyond), and we hope you enjoy them!

There have also been a number of bug fixes and quality of life improvements, which are outlined below. The trailer has been updated over the last week, and in case you haven't seen the updated version, it's linked below!

As always, your comments and questions are most welcome.

Thanks for reading,
Daithi

A question. Seems backers have the Humble Bundle build as well as Steam key. Would it be considered ok if I give away the steam key?

Hi ushas. Yeah, that was primarily so backers would have access to the game prior to Steam launch. Once the keys have been given out, it's really up to the individual to decide.

Ok, thanks. Wasn't sure whether it's fair to do. Think usually one gets to choose either drm free (eg. gog) or steam, or the build option prior EA/release is discontinued. This is more accommodating in comparison.

I bet here will be at least these two endings: the pure evil and the pure good. The first one would have your PC taking over the city after having killed every bad guy and cackling manically. The second one would be unlocked by killing none or very few enemies, which would have your character bringing to justice the leaders of every enemy faction... Only to be killed by a sniper bullet after the government considered you a threat.

How close am I?

That's likely the route I'll go down next time, if there is a next time. If someone opts for the Steam version, they will have access to the download until the game is on Steam. Really doesn't make a lot of sense providing multiple copies when only 1 is needed, especially with the amount of key selling going on at the minute - it's just going to be lost sales, without any benefit to the customer.

Somewhat close in one ending

Any of the existing players using windows 10. May have a problem, and may need a bit of help.

 

[Timeslip]

Taka-Haradin puolipeikko - there seems to be an issue with Vigilantes + windows 10. Looking for any Vigilantes players on Steam who have windows 10 for a little help establishing the extent of the problem and fixing it.
