LOOK A WRITEUP ON GAMEINFORMER.COM HOLY SHIII
Hey
You remember Breath of Death VII: The Beginning? It's an XBL Indie Game? It's made by RainbowDespair and slash000, two pretty well known posters here? It's a buck? Featured on Yahoo? Been labeled by some reviewers, with complete seriousness, as the RPG GOTY, beating out such illustrious titles as FFXIII, Resonance of Fate, and Mass Effect 2?
Not ringing a bell? Ah, okay. Well, it's pretty good, you might want to get it.
Anyways RBD and slash have been hinting as to what their (Zeboyd Games') new XBLIG is going to be, and today they've formerly announced it.
Previously to today, the hints were:
Well, today RainbowDespair formerly announced the title, Cthulu Saves The World!
Here's some cover art:
Later on today there should be a press release/screenshot release, so this OP'll be updated
So, assuming this is a new RPG in the vein of BoD VII, what improvements are you hoping will be included/what will stay the same, etc? Me personally, my major complaint was was the lack of save points between the one before the subway and the end of the sewer, especially considering how difficult the sewer was. It was really really aggravating doing a ten minute plus trek back to the save point from the sewer in the vague hopes I don't get my shit wrecked
As a matter of fact I really didn't like the sewer in general. I mean it had good enemies and stuff but it was such a pain to navigate/so far removed from save points it really pissed me off to die there. Maybe it's a parody of how much sewer levels suck, in which case it worked too well
Oh yeah, one rule for this thread: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DISCUSS (READ : COMPLAIN) ABOUT WHICH PLATFORM OR PLATFORMS THIS OR BREATH OF DEATH VII SHOULD BE PORTED TO ONCE RBD/SLASH ANNOUNCE THEM. IT IS ANNOYING AS HELL AND REALLY FUCKING UNNECESSARY. DON'T DO IT.

RainbowDespair wrote: »1 – The main character was originally going to share a weapon with a certain famous vampire slayer, but in the end, we switched back to swords since it’s like a law to have a sword-wielding main character in RPGs.
2 – At one point, we were going to have 3 main stats to track in combat – HP, MP, and a third stat, but we got rid of the third stat since we felt it made things overly complicated and we could do what we wanted just being clever with regular abilities and passive effects. I suppose we could get rid of another stat as well, but it would have to be MP since HP is essential.
3 – Our next game is not Breath of Death VIII, but there’s a really vague clue there if you do a bit of word association.
4 – You can make a comedy out of just about anything if you try hard enough and aren’t a stickler for accuracy.
5 – If you made an acronym out of the title, it would be CSTW.
6 – Oh and since I’m a nice guy, I’ll give you one of the words in the title. The.

So, how long does it take these guys to finish their projects/when can I play this?
猿も木から落ちる
Iirc it took them about two months or so for BoD VII
Also you should get BoDVII right now apotheos what the hell man it's a buck
It took us 3 months to finish BoD7. We're aiming for a late August release for Cthulhu Saves the World.

I see no way this game can be anything but hilarious.
But since its Zeboyd games, could someone tell me why I should be excited?
I've got a bad case of lovin' you.

Pretty much every game ever : TheDagon
Currently, Cthulhu is slumbering deep beneath the waves. At one point, it very nearly woke up and drove a bunch of people all over the world insane.
When Cthulhu does wake up, human civilisation will end.
That's... kind of the gist of it.

Cthulhu Saves the World - Victory/LV-Up Music

All music for Cthulhu Saves the World is being done by Gordon McNeil (he did the battle theme and final dungeon theme for Breath of Death VII).

Also: That cover is fucking epic. Parallax edition? Hells yeah!
I hope this one does even better for you guys than BoD did.

My one beef about this is that even though it's cliche to have a sword-wielding hero, Cthulhu's so badass, he doesn't need a sword. Just reality-bending, mind-warping powers. And legions of monsters from R'lyeh.

Can I just give you guys access to my bank account and you can take out money when a game comes out? Would that work for you?
Or one of the sword-hybrids like gunblade, sword-whip, Kitten-rapier or Zveihanderzooka.
Steam ID : rwb36, Twitter : Werezompire,
Like a gunblade but for cats?
I just...fuck. yes.
No idea why this is important, but just something to keep in mind: Young kittens can't retract their claws. This could lead to some hilarious flashback moments with a kitten and his gunclaw, that he can't retract.
He couldn't retract his claws so accidentally shot his mom, and is now consumed with the guilt of having killed his mom
Every time he tries to enjoy life, the memory of him shooting his mom gives him paws to reflect on his terrible choices
I see what you did there.
Cthulu Dawn
It's gonna be a Natal only game!
Okay, that's the one thing that would kill it.
Natal is one of those things I can appreciate the technology and the advance and all that jazz, but I don't have a 10 foot by 10 foot square spot to run around in my apartment.
Oh, and motion controls just don't feel right to me.

Yes.
Yes again.
Steam ID : rwb36, Twitter : Werezompire,
Now there's 1520 points left, and I swear I might as well just save up those points exclusively for your XBL indie games. My 240 points are yours.

I really like the battle screen.
And I suppose I should go finish BoD7. I started it, then got, uh, sidetracked with Miner Dig Deep.
