lol, I thought you are German because of the game name. Nevermind, just said its looks good and that you should take money for that. You made the music as well I see, good stuff, what software do you use for that? Anyway I gave it a try and its cool, but I like turn based games and dungeon crawler game so I´m a bit baised. The german word for shoot is "schiess" its spelled "schess" in your game if you want to correct that. Why did you use all these german words? lol

Not really, but my brother was born and raised in Germany, so I guess I'm pretty close to that, haha.
I used FL Studio to do all of the ingame music, some of the most common VSTs used were NI Massive, various free VSTs from DSK and whatever weird sounds I could find that could be repurposed as a percussion (e.g. sounds of trains).
As for that little robot, 'Schess' is just a German transliteration of 'Shess', the username of a person I worked with a few years ago and this started as an in-joke after a few beers (think Scorpia in M&M3 but without any bad blood involved).
The game uses a few German and Japanese mostly as means to mark the territory of the particular corporation (Eberbach uses German, while Bright uses English or Japanese). But if you're talking about the title, then it's a bit funnier -- an acquaintance from Japan once told me that 'Japanese creators use German language because it sounds exotic to them', and this kinda surfaced when I couldn't pick a good title for a game, and I like how German language sounds, so I decided to go for it.
Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you like it. I also enjoy turn-based games and dungeon crawlers, so it's a pleasure to talk to you. :)
