Title: Up for an uber retro style challenge on PC?
Post by: LudicrousDa3ve on July 03, 2014, 09:15:20 AM
Reaching out for support here- I've just released my arcade high score/JRPG/roguelike The Bounty. The game has been a massive labor of love, and it's turned out pretty great. It's only on PC (well, you can play it on Mac with WineBottler or something similar).
So, one player described it as "This is like Roguelike Dragon Quest with all the sadistic insanity of Lufia 2's dreaded Ancient Cave area!" He pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's retro, and console styled... but a really unique amalgamation of ideologies and styles. [/size][/color] [/size]So, give it a shot! There's a free shareware (not demo, shareware damnit) version to get you primed- and the full version is only $5, and 5% goes to Extra-Life in benefit of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
You can find info on the game on IndieDB here-[/color][/size]http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-bounty (http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-bounty)[/color] You can get the game from itch.io and www.gwwentertainment.com/thebounty (http://www.gwwentertainment.com/thebounty). It's coming to Desura, Indiecity, and Steam soon as well.

Thanks everybody; the next game is being built in Unity, so a Wii U port is definitely happening! [/size][/color]

At least you joined a posted quite a bit before you started advertising. ;)
Regardless, I'll check it out.

Yeah, I've mostly lurked for the past several years. lol
Hopefully nobody minds, I hate the idea of being that annoying spambot-ish dude. But, I've gotta get the word out somehow, right?
Besides, it's a quality game, especially if you like 'em tough. ;)

For the record, I'd have no problem with someone joining just to show off their game so long as they weren't an ass about it, and you've been registered for over two years and posted from time to time, so carry right along.

Do you have a Wii U devkit? I kind of want to get one.

I'm submitting my registration for being a licensed Nintendo developer on Monday- so that's when I'll hear actual details about the dev kits. All I know now is that they're supposedly really reasonable about the whole deal.
This game (The Bounty) is actually staying on PC, but the next that I'm working on now is in Unity... so multiplat, with a lot of really neat stuff using gamepad functionality. Super excited about that... eight year old me would be losing his mind!
A lot will ride on this game's success, but I'm optimistic. :)

Best of luck but I'm burned out on any game with the words Retro and Challenge in its description. Just feel like the market's been oversaturated.
