Intro & Roadmap
This game - working title "Tin Hat Crusade" - has been a couple years in the making. It started as a prototype with basic turnbased RPG mechanics in a post-collapse gritty fantasy setting. That was uninspiring. Then we hit upon this present-day tinfoil-hat concept. You play a handful of random people thrust into a surreal situation and making the best of it. There really is no grand narrative, no clever twist - that's all been done before. Gameplay comes first, the story follows, and new scenarios unfold depending upon the pieces in play. It's just an old-fashioned RPG.
It'll be released when it's done, probably one more year, so mid-2019. We hope to start private alpha testing this September, and maybe early access - if people really want to buy an unpolished game - when gameplay is basically complete.
Roadmap:
- Combat & AI: finish coding
- Levels: finish buildout
- Item design & artwork
- Character development & writing
- Quest scripting
- Combat encounters
- UI features & polishing
- Hidden-object silhouettes
- Party-following overhaul
- Windows support
- Shadows!!
- 3D optimizations
- Art polishing: more/better textures, environments, more character models, etc
- Music & SFX
- Playtesting, bugfixes, balancing, polishing
