This game has been in development for a long time.  A few of you may have tried it before, couple of years ago. This build should not only work, but improve upon all aspects of the basic gameplay. Give it a spin, see how you feel. 

There is something lacking in  you, a hole you feel a need to fill. See if this fucks or fills you up. If so, you are broken. 

How far does this go? Looking to try shit for a short time tonight, should I try to dive deeper into this tomorrow? 

Simple, fun, quite like the lasers and levers, and the inclusion of puzzles.

Thank you. Combat is borked, and is being fixed, glad you enjoyed the important parts.

You were very thorough, thank you. 

>I believe I completed all the quests, but the QUEST menu bugged out and is no longer available, so I couldn't check if I missed anything. From the top of my head I remember: Boy, Boy Ball, Cocaine Elf, Ghost Gun, "Main Quest", Crab Hunter, Keylogger(ish), Defeated all the enemies, including the post sign and the bastard. 

You got all quests that are there at the moment. I have no idea what the quest menu bugging out means. 

>The Keylogger quest, after I finished the Ghost Gun, I went back out of bounds, and talked to the NPC but nothing happened. This might be bugged.

Not bugged, just not finished ;_; 

>The Crab Hunter, I don't know if this one bugged as well. It told me to defeat 6 crabs. After talking to him again, he tells me the quest is completed, and talk to him again to hunt bigger crabs, but nothing happens.

Yes, its content that has not been done yet. Essentially, its a second counter, then after that quest is finished there will be an additional area opened with a optional big boss. 

>I feed the cat around 84 pieces of bugless catfood, but nothing happened. I don't know if anything was supposed to happen.

Bugless catfood speeds up the animation of the cat, bug catfood slows it down. Sorry that you put so much effort into just this, its kind of a one-off joke. If you eat bugless catfood, your movement speed is increased though, and lowered with bug catfood. Guess I will add something for feeding him multiple times, its a fun idea. 

>I got the snake from dicegobo, rolling a 14. The keylogger NPC told me the witch would want to buy it, but nothing happend when I talked to her.

Yes, stuff that is not finished yet. You may have noticed transparent snakes appearing quickly once you enter some maps too, this will be some Animal Well/Fez shit once its done. 

>I got Spaceship parts A,B and D. What do these do? They change the endings I get?

Preparation for an ending that is not in there yet. 

>I might play it more to get the other endings. Overall very good job!!

Thank you for playing, an easily obtained ending can be gotten from jumping into the hole in the forest. It is not properly labelled as such yet, but it will be. 

Yeah, I like this, will look into it... 

Thanks for playing! Ladders are being made clearer and movementspeed is being upped for the next version.

Thanks for playing and thanks for the input! 

- As with every RPGMaker game, I am repeatedly unsure if damage numbers are intended or completely bugged. Especially the Dietz character seemed nigh useless in combat, even his stronger attack hit for 0, 0, 0 usually. I just put him on Guard as a damage sponge.

Combat system is pretty borked, I am working to make it better. 

- In a similar vein, the healing item is phrased like it would heal the whole party, but it heals just a single person, and for a puny amount.

Some of the healing items heal random amounts... I thought it was funny... There are a bunch of such decisions, things I mainly put in there to see how I would do it within the confines of rpgmaker. 

Combat is being worked on. I am fiddling with a bunch of stuff.

Thanks, I have not put anything on steam yet because the games are not polished enough.

No, think you got most of it! Thanks for playing o/. Oh, and I am adding a taunt for the guard, good idea! 

Played 1 run so far, lost to a bot, automons at around level 14. Lovely game. I thought chillock was a broken bottle at first and naturally chose it as my favorite. How many automons are there? 

I did not know Curly could punch like that...

Finished the demo, lovely everything. Very nice music, extremely good style and animations. No complaints. 

Played through the tutorial and a few games. Recently got into Balatro, but I knew more about poker before playing it than craps before playing this. I like it though, and I want to learn. I cant really criticize any of the gameplay elements. It  works, tutorial was understandable. 

Visually there are things I can suggest.. The wojaks can work but need to be more "stylishly" implemented, put them in boxes, remove the chairs, clean up the spritework, maybe commission automondev  to do it. 

I would make all backgrounds stuff darker and make shit a bit sexy. 

Great work!

Been following this on twitter for a while, glad to finally try it. Played until red closet section. Its neat and I quite like it. Controls are fine, you could move slightly faster, sometimes when you shoot the ball nothing happens. 

Minigolf courses are fun, the gimmicks work. How can you easily up the stress? I got fish but I want to see the horror effects. 

God damn the swimming animation is cute.

yesl go down and finish 3 sets of misery machine

Oh, and this may not be new to you, but it was new to me: all of the plant sprites are great and gives a lot of cool gamefeel. 

Two-hit kill, if not aiming at the shield, with the gun. One hit kill with anything stronger. It will make shit easier, yes, but way more satisfying. 

I followed the whole process of your previous game, this makes it very easy for me to imagine how good  this will become as the demodays pass : P

Sounds like a good premise. I can imagine really enjoying your shit in a few demodays once some of the story is in. As for the main character, being someone who ideologically should be on the creatures side, the ones who do not want a wish but just want to maintain purgatory, what are his motivations? 

Tried it, it works. Not much here, but the basic gameplay is functioning, seems like a good start. I like the splash-art.  If you do not mind, give me a rundown of your intended story. 

That would be the train sequence then, I will have to look into it. Thank you. Yes, the characters, even the ones that Dietze once wrote, have "grown" even though they are mostly stuck to their roles. Things appearing that were not originally part of either his games, representations of him as a person, or his experiences, are outside things leaking in. This game exists in the bigger doyd narrative, and the concepts that makes all of the weirdness fit together are the same. 

In the future I want to add more "options" as for victims for the ghost gun. Once some more quests are added some of them will sort of feed into each other, or change the options available in one quest due to what you did in another. 

Protips for if you think the combat is hard, play with the intent to break the game. Good start is to begin with the Guard Captains quest outside of the first house, talking to the child in the smithy, talk to the Guard Captain and then finish the childs quest. 

Talk to npcs, loot trash and chests. Use the cheating machines in the smith... 

There are a bunch more things, but these are some easy tips. 

Seems to run as intended, guessing this is early systems testing? Movement feels fluid, creating micro-risk of rain seems feasible. Not enough there for "fun" yet, but good start. It runs. 

Lovely little game. Had a very fun time playing around with the items and movement patterns. Scythe4life. 

"lso, at one point the game crashed while Dietze was saying "Wait" and I thought it was a mock crash at first, but no, it was real but restarting the game allowed me to progress further." 

Could you give me some more details so I can see where this happens? 

Never played the original Wasteland, probably should, though I played the newer games from the reboot. Combat is a bit iffy and poorly tested. I do need to work on it for the final build. Guard guy is OP though, he has the doyd "curse" ability which has always been the strongest shit. 

Two questions if feel so inclined: 

1: Did you jump down the hole? 

2: What did you think about the characters? 

Thank you for giving the game your time! I will make the ladder mechanics more clear I think, just gonna add a follow up message and an sfx "A ladder has spawned somewhere in the world." 

There is quite a bit left to be done, but I hope you got one or two of the endings that are there ; )

Call the boyz, new plunderground just dropped.

Could not extract the files from the .rar, got an unexpected error message. 

I was a dog. I got some bones. Jumped around. I pressed a button. 

Movement works, artstyle is cute, turn this game into Wind Waker Banjo Kazooie. 

Doublechecked, ladders work, and you dont actually need the money to get them right now in favour of saving time for playtesters. If you give it another shot, poke around a bit, explore. Very easy to get overpowered and wreck the game.

When you buy a ladder, a ladder spawns in somewhere in the world, leading to a new area. You can set it to "always run" in the options. Gotta talk to some people, explore a little my guy, you can level up quickly and easily.

I did not expect an elephant boss.

Quite the vibe. Loved the alien bushpigs who surprise you.  Dual pistol trap was mean. This is the kind of game that needs its main character to be an old salty dad, that needs a radio on the boat that plays country music and that also needs a walkie-talkie that lets you talk to "Curly", whoever that may be. 

Steering the boat and managing shooting at the same time is a bunch of fun, maybe boat controls should fade out if you enter combat, though. 

Fish that jump out, weird squid-things on rocks. Played Silicon Scars earlier, which maid me really appreciate that you can shoot sheildguys in the feet in this. 

What else... You need a crate of glass bottles of beer on the boat and once you have finished drinking one you should be able to throw the bottle so it gets smashed. 

The mutation stuff is fun, got more health, speed and killing gives health. 

Like the FTL setup between missions. 

There is some kind of physics glitch that happens when snails shoot you on the boat, boat glitches out and moves way back. 

On the second mission now. Will play more. 

My god the visuals are pretty. This looks fantastic and you will be able to sell it like hotcakes based on that alone. I do not like the music, at all, sorry, messy and annoying. 

Gameplay seems to be a bit of a mix between classical RPGs and darkest dungeon, what is on display here so far is neat. The miss attack sfx haunts me. 

Cool prototype, looking forward to see this kind of gameplay and these visuals in a bigger context. 

Isometric dark souls. Visuals are nice, enemy design is wonderful. If you have not played Titan Souls you should for inspiration. Had a bit of a hard time with the weave system and no estus-flasks... May be bit of a wasted opportunity to keep this as a boss rush and not just go full exploration, power ups and a bit of loot etc. 

Playing this now, was just wondering how this works, lol. Now I will play more, just add this to the how to play instructions.
