No Mutants Allowed

[Dragula]

Wheras steampunk is not right up NMAs alley in the same way 50's retrofuturism is, it's still an interesting setting.

- An old west motif creates a steampunk inspired dystopic setting.
- Multiple-solution format supports diverse play-styles and replay value, and multiple potential endings dependent on the players choices. These will be REAL separate endings. Not a "different color explosion" ending, and not a "which button you pushed in the last 30 seconds" ending we've seen in some recent games. Who is in your party, who lived and died in your adventure, even what items you decided to bring along will affect your end of game options.
- Enemies will detect and pursue the player, confrontation is not always the best option.
- All enemies are in-map. Combat is a tactical choice and there will be no random encounters. Cold Fusion is a puzzle/mystery game at its core, and random encounters would interrupt the player's thought process.
- Survivalist skills of the player will be tested, poor decisions will result in real, permanent consequences to the player and their party. For example: Using a found whiskey still correctly can yield liquor, however mistakes can create poison or possibly explosions.
- Leveling system is based on equipment and skills growth, not battle experience. This is to encourage the player to scavenge areas and make survival choices.
- Player interactions with NPC's significantly influence gameplay. To do what it takes survive, you will need a silver tongue, fleet foot, deep pockets, or an itchy trigger. The choice is yours.
- Party members are the choice of the leader, but be warned that in this harsh and lawless world, you will not be able to bring everyone with you and situations may force the player to choose between being a friend and being a survivor.

It's 1/3 funded and has 12 days to go. Whether or not it makes it is really hard to say.

Would you like to see more steampunk inspired post-apocalyptic games? It seems to be a underused setting as far as RPGs goes.

I dished out the minimum $10 pledge, but the RPGMaker/jRPG art and absence of a gameplay video are huge put-offs for me. The features sound nice, but it's hard to have faith in a project like this.

Yes, the video wasn't that inspiring.

Hey Tagaziel, if you sold the apartment and bought into the 10K tier, you will get to pet a Corgi! :P

As it promises to combine my three of four most favourite things in the world, namely steampunk, postapocalypse and elaborate choice-to-consequence endings, they will get my money.

The concept art looked pretty cool, kind of cel shaded. Then i saw the screen shots and it looked a little too jRPG to me. I wish them luck but I'd like to see some video or something of gameplay footage before I risk my money.

SteamPunk + Post Apoc + Branching RPG, I am there. Well, not really, can't give any money to Kickstarters, no credit card. But if it gets funded I will probably buy it.
But yeah, the video was kind of boring. I hope those screenshots are only partial or something, Sprites can look a lot better than that.

I rather like the art direction, really. Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, Terranigma, all really beautiful games. If they make this right it could be just as pretty.

Also, the video was shit at introducing the game, yes, but the dog in the end sold me. <3

So RPGmaker games now need 15,000$ to get "finished" ?

This kickstarter thing is getting more and more ridicolous.

The game looks ridiculous. Also what Surf Solar said.
