Support NeoGAF

[jesu]

I backed this back then, still looking forward to the console version.
Good luck to them.

Yes, this game still looks great. iDGi is a bit under the radar at GAF and I think they deserve some recognition. The results they're getting from relatively modest crowdfunding totals are impressive as hell.

The game's premise is great. As to how it looks...I'm sorry, but it looks - in terms of graphics - as the worst Unreal Engine 4 game I have ever seen.
Plenty of indie developers managed to get better graphics and it's not just about the style either.

The first consortium really was something unique, I'll encourage anyone reading to play it. It's pretty clunky but it has some stellar ideas.

 

[Dremorak]

I have never heard of this thing until right now but I'm interested

 

[Adam_Roman]

Great to hear. Consortium's been in my backlog for a while since I've heard nothing but great things about it. I might move onto that after beating Persona 5.

 

[Aztechnology]

Glad I backed this. The first one was really interesting. Glad Fig was able to give it a second chance.

Grab the first one, it's a very cool experience. Great feeling of freedom in the dialogues (the rest is meh, but it'll be way better in the sequel).

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

I have a feeling this is going to be a great game.

Nice to hear that the alpha is only around the corner. When I received the update notification e-mail yesterday, I realised the crowdfunding campaign ended just over a year ago and wondered if it were already available.

The director of the game was gonna do a live session on Twitch to show the game and... nobody tuned in apparently. That's just sad, he's pretty cool and always engage with people. I missed it because I was away but damn :/

I guess they need to do a better job of promoting those sorts of events. I love the first game and am subscribed to this thread but I don't know how I would have heard of that Twitch event. Was there a Fig update about it? I would have tuned in for sure.

It was part of the update from last week, yes: https://www.fig.co/campaigns/consortium-the-tower?update=368#updates

It's a relatively unknown indie game in an already pretty niche subgenre, and FIG isn't followed as closely as Kickstarter. As unfortunate as that is, I'm not surprised by that turnout

 

[epmode]

Well, this was a surprise! The Backer Alpha Demo is up!

 

[Moobabe]

Well, this was a surprise! The Backer Alpha Demo is up!

Downloading now!

 

[More_Badass]

That free fall opening always looked cool in the videos but the sense of freedom you get from deciding where to land is awesome

Oh, and you know no weapons at the start and have to rely on stealth and talking. Remember, you can talk to any enemy at any time

 

[Big Nikus]

Big news, the game comes to early access... tomorrow.

Didn't expect an early access.
I hope it's just my imagination, but the silence from the devs and the way they announce this seem a bit.. flat ? I hope they're not too disheartened by the lack of hype around the game. Since it's new news we should make a new thread but I'm kinda ̶b̶u̶s̶y̶ lazy.

Here's the Steam page : http://store.steampowered.com/app/626250/Consortium_The_Tower/

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Took me forever to grab it (it was available on July 21st), but I got my key now for The Tower. Should be fun to start it up .

 

[fenners]

"Deus Ex meets Die Hard"? You got my attention, devs...

 

[Aselith]

Anyone played some of this? Curious for impressions so far not sure if this one is a "true alpha"
