Curious how the guest Incarnations are going to be integrated into the full game when funded (believe). Is this going to be like a Seraphic Gate thing where they're only usable in a post-meta dungeon? Something else?
Probably too early to say either way but I'm looking forward to having them on my team in whatever manner LZ sees fit..
Right now we're thinking that a dimensional rift opens up in Ajna's Inner Realm, and you meet the crossover characters in there. Don't want them? Don't go in there.
Definitely want to position them so players can use them as they see fit, but without detracting from the main story and other in-world characters. So I think it'll likely be a late game kinda thing, so Indivisible's characters and everything are established and you have them for endgame stuff.
I also see them as great New Game+ fodder - work them into your team to mix things up on a second playthrough, etc.
Wonder what your criteria for selecting guest stars are? I'd imagine it starts with team preference and move from there?
Anyway, superb news, looking forward to how they turn out!
This all started because Joe Madureira (!!!) reached out to us about a crossover. We liked the idea, so I reached out a bunch of other indies and they all agreed.
We usually approached them with a character in mind, but ultimately who went in was up to them. Sometimes it was based on who was the most recognizable, but in the case of Calibretto, we wanted someone that would really stand out from the rest of the cast.
And we tried to get some kind of balance in the roster, i.e. a grappler instead of a straight-up melee guy, people that have abilities in their games that could be "mage-y" in Indivisible's battle system, etc.
