So this got bumped to early next year for console and fall for PC?

Right. Scope has grown quite a bit since we announced the original release date. If it releases in Oct that would be about 32 months since work first started. Here is what it started life as http://indiegames.com/2013/12/gothic_sidescroller_the_7_towe.html

This looks fantastic, I'm in.

Plus a member of Celtic Frost doing the soundtrack? Even better!

 

[DirtyLarry]

First time I am seeing this thread. Love the visuals and execution. Will definitely pick it up when it is released on either WiiU/3DS or PS4/Vita. Have not made my mind up yet. Good luck!

 

[Majmun]

[Ghost Rider]

Def getting this. Most likely on ps4

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

Gonna get this on WiiU for sure.

Any word on gamepad screen features, etc.?

[Lizard with a ladder]

One of the best looking games of 2016. Those .gifs are oozing atmosphere. Your artist is very talented Mr_D_.

 

[Dash Kappei]

WiiU has been canned then?

 

[Parallacs]

This looks fantastic. I only first heard about it a few weeks back. Definitely want it for WiiU

WiiU has been canned then?

I'm looking at the kickstarter, this thread, the developer blog, and the steam forums but I can't find this information. Where are you seeing it?

Well, the very first post gives tentative release dates for everything under the sun, except Wii U. It's my first time in the thread and I agree, it looks cool, but I was wondering the same thing.

 

[Shmuppers]

holy fuck this is AWESOME

 

[biteren]

holy crap i cant wait to play this on PS4!!!

 

[drotahorror]

Saw that this was coming this fall when I was browsin coming soon on steam. Surprised it was coming out so soon.

WiiU release will be Early 2016. We are small team and will be doing all the port work ourselves, which will start once PC version is released!

 

[Mr_D_]

Understood! Glad we could confirm. If you didn't visit the Steam forum yet here is the link..

And here is a new gif!

Is there a possibility of a DLC metal soundtrack? I'd buy it.

 

[Raticus79]

Should be "creaking"

 

[drotahorror]

I know I'm probably in the minority but I wish this was early access. Gotta play this now!

 

[Mr_D_]

There sure as shit is! I am going to post something here tomorrow - a preview of 5 of our tracks in game. We are aiming for a full album sized soundtrack (12 tracks min), recorded by Curt Victor Bryant of Celtic Frost.

 

[Mr_D_]

Here is something for you! A new bit of footage we recorded for a show and Andrew added a new track! Grrrr get some!

At least post these updates without sounding like a pandering bafoon.

Game looks ace anyway


Edit: that was rude..sorry. Just don't make the posts sound like automated PR blurbs

 

[Oneself]

Wow, amazing video. I can't wait for you guys to take my money.

 

[Mr_D_]

@kinggroin

Lol, then that's fine. I thought you were talking baby talk to us.

 

[Bloodrage]

Will wait for the PS4 version.

 

[Mr_D_]

No way. Does it explain anything if I say I'm English? Might change the tone you read it in a bit.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Great pixel art and animation. Color me interested.

 

[nortonff]

I'm not even into the whole castlevania thing, but this looks awesome.

 

[Mr_D_]
