Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it.

Haha, you just gotta figure out which chests are the most valuable to you ~ There's a dungeon deeper in the game with 16 treasure paths, just saying...

Also thanks for finding out that the poison spell was broken, I actually used it on my own runs too but never noticed it was draining HP lmao.

Thanks again for playing! I was literally lowering some of the encounter rates as you were playing. Once I got used to speedrunning my own game a few nasty areas slipped my notice.

I responded to a lot of this on-stream so I'll spare some typing here but yeah, ultimately it's a weird game that doesn't want to be played normally, haha!

Oh, and I really liked getting yelled at by the game for picking "No" early on. That was cool!

Got 33 minutes into this one before getting stunlocked to death by a Watcher's Wheel.

The character art is nice and I like the vibes of some of the strata. The enemy designs were neat. 

Overall I found the narrative hard to follow. I wish there was a lot more dialogue between the party members. Ida went from wanting to kill me to trusting in me in 25 minutes? Hm.

I think with some more time this could be a neat game. Some more clarity in battles (what do Agnes's debuffs do?) would be appreciated, though I liked the flow of combat overall. The second stratum had a great music track and the most interesting enemy encounters. First stratum was a little easy but eh. Maybe the MC's Steel Flurry is just overtuned.

This was wonderful. A bit confusing at times with how to progress a scene or w/e but like, those gripes don't really matter when a game is this charming.

Oh, I really liked that Ivy's mace bops made stars fly out, lol.

This was a really neat premise! I explored and crafted up a bit for about 24 minutes but didn't find any more gate stones yet... I would have loved a lot more banter between guildies to make it feel more MMO-y.

I found Elfadin pretty useless so swapped her out to use both Razr and the ninja. Ivy died once early on so I had to go back early, but then quickly on the next outing she got Snow Front and the game was sorta over for these slimes.

A more refined verison of this concept could be very cool!

Oh perfect. I won, thanks!

I downloaded this and the Attack/Defend buttons didn't work :<

hey man, you gotta deploy and zip up the game! that's the executable that runs everything else. 

Guessing there's a bunch of alternate paths to take since I got murdered by a dragon after the statue collapsed. Hm.

I like the character art a lot. The dialogue is very, very difficult to read.

Typo: 

Got to the goblin boss... boss... and almost beat him but then he spammed so much at once I lost a ton of my HP out of nowhere. Dang. The fairies being voiced by your kids (I'm guessing?) was pretty funny. 

There's a typo right at the very start, says "use use".

Hey, got a bug trying to use the Soporiffic attack.  Some funny dialogue but man that slow text intro was slow :p

on that archive website 🫣

absolutely love this. including the... hacked-in secret.

lmao

ftr:

• Bisexual: You have to say good-bi to the rat queen. BY KILLING THEM (jk i'm not really going for this one)
• Pansexual: you will cook the rats.
• Asexual: you will collect the rat cards.
• Polysexual: almost hit this one, you can get there if you play a specific way, but not the intent so w/e

but we're at the finish line. i'm cooking rats

ahahahahahahahah sweat sweat

i added two more maids

you can start it now at least.... and three prides from now, when the sun sets....

can we settle for 3-4 hours with 16 maids. does that work

but i promise i will keep my game under like 1.5 hours. i promise. i can do it. i can do it. im sorry in advance

i died =/

This was the first game I played out of the Bundle for Ukraine. Really enjoying the vibes.

Looks great! Love the little additions like sheep wool as much as the bigger ones.

yooo i love these. excited to see what you do with "the reef"!

I released a game. Please enjoy.

gifs galore!

I released a script I modified/extended for this project --get it on RMN if you're interested!

Finished up all the icons (I think...) I need, and have 3/11 battles done. Feeling pretty good about getting this done in time.

Ashes of Roses is a Sci-Fi thriller about exorcists, Shakespeare, and a hunk with a slasher smile. It is a direct sequel to Wine & Roses, although you do not need to have played Wine to enjoy Ashes.

An elite squad of exorcists has landed on Earth hundreds of years after humans left en masse. Floating  alone above the wasteland planet is Heath, a rookie communications officer tending to the IGSS Delilah. As Argent, Carmanth, and Nynavae fight through the ruins of Fort Adder and the hellscapes below, Heath has a visitor on the starship...

• Unique battles test your exorcism skills. Each encounter is fought once, from miserable cultists to horrible demons. 
• Flexible characters let you fight your way. The three Roses have specialized Gifts to pick and choose from, allowing you to design your preferred play style. Strategically match their Gifts to the ancient Spells you discover within Fort Adder, letting you tackle any foe!
• Sinister words and dire consequences threaten the mission. Humans are only human, after all, and Heath is no exception. He'll narrate the story through battle and exploration via radio calls as he drifts in orbit around a ruined Earth.

Enjoy the shortened IGMC 2018 version by the end of the month, with all the exploration taken out in favor of getting the full story and some choice battles into the judge's hands. How and when it progresses from there will depend on the contest and Degica. :)

"Am I just a mission to you?"

Ultimately I think the theme this time around does exactly what Nick said, especially if you look at how points are awarded. Gotta show what you can do, not how much time you spent on it.

Thanks bunches!

Hey, I know the general rule is "no 18+/NC-17," but I was wondering about swearing specifically. I personally try to stay away from gendered swears, but I know from spitting out a rough draft of the scenario this morning that there's probably gonna be some f***s thrown in there.  I haven't played enough Degica shmups to really know what they like to  (hopefully ;) ) publish or not in terms of profanity!

Also, is some non-sexualized, clearly alien boob okay or should I cover up the nipples? Either way is fine, just want to know sooner rather than later XD (the final boss battler I want to use is way less endowed than the lady in Quidget's thumbnail so, uh, y'know.... points? XD )

Not in the setting/scenario sense, but I think the idea of "make an hour-long idea that could be expanded further" is actually a lot to work with/against.

THERE IS A BUG IN THIS IGMC VERSION WHERE THE GAME WILL CRASH IF YOU USE A BOMB OR ENEMY-TARGETING SCROLL. MY APOLOGIES; A LAST-MINUTE ADDITION TO THE GAME BROKE THEM. THE REST OF THE GAME RUNS FINE. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.

You can't get everything! Gotta be pragmatic. :)
