New release - Slave Lord Awakening

-First build of Awakening

Finally, the first build of the game I’ve been working on for the last few months.
It’s a bit of a departure from the usual visual novel and gradual stat-building games I usually make; this time the gameplay loop is based on vampire survivors, with you battling through hordes of enemies - at least that’s the idea - but I’m not sure if it comes off that way.


-Next for Awakening

I don’t plan to make this a huge project - something that can be completed in around another 6 months. The current plan is to add 8 more stages. 4 for Priestesses and 4 for Templar Knights. This is only a rough plan and will probably change along the way, depending on how development goes and if people like the idea or not.


-Next for ROB

I also plan to add some extra content to ROB, maybe something like a post-game adventure with Kaylin, exploring some of her origin story. I’ll make this a relatively small update, with a dev time of around 3 months. If I start on this soon maybe I can get it done before the end of the year.

-Feedback please

Do let me know what you think about the latest game, Awakening. If you think it’s shit and I should stick to VNs there’s no need to hold back. I’m open to any honest feedback. If you like it let me know what you like and what, if anything, you’d like to see more of.

Thanks for the feedback! Will mull those ideas over

Pink Tea

When it comes to feedback I'll mostly address balancing. The default attack is fine, no real notes, however the lack of a way to change the attack you start a level with is definitely something that should be looked at, as one of the primary draws of Vampire Survivors was trying new characters with different starting gear. Some of the attacks are overtuned and others are definitely undertuned (Paddle Toss and the Hex Circle come to mind respectively). FInally, it would be interesting to get a brief "dying" animation on sprites that are hit with Criticals, but instead of dying theyre just orgasming everywhere (Maybe not the woodland critters tho)

The attacks happen automatically. All you do is run around, avoid/get close to enemies.

Never thought about that - but I sure will going forward

thanks for those suggestions!!

I thought it was fun! The default attack made me laugh, I guess it couldn't be anything else for the Dark Lord. I like that the objectives get changed up, and it only took me a couple tries on each stage so it didn't get tedious. It feels a lot better to play than any action parts of the earlier games. I think it would be nice to be able to hold a button down to look one way and walk in the opposite direction - not a big deal when you've got attacks going all over the screen, but would be nice early on when all you can do is run away and try and turn back in time with your attack coming out. I also think it would've been nice to face the Queen in the stages as a boss. I don't mind the lil verbal sparring matches but since there's a part with active gameplay now that I think is pretty fun, might as well have the girl we're looking for be a boss character in the final stage.

Disclaimer: I have not yet played this game (but I am excited to). But one of the reasons I like your games is that as a person with arthritis I can't play a lot of traditional games. This is part of the appeal of VN's and turn based games. Obviously you should make whatever games you want to make, I am just asking you to consider accessibility as a factor

Attack speed could use some refinement and It's a bit on the grindy side. Fun overall

TheGentleSpirit

Works now, thanks.

I replaced the files. That part in the dungeon should be fixed now.

Pink Tea

the PC version has the same problem

Markus

I am enjoying the game a lot, its a nice change of pace.

Faustus7

Thanks - I think I just fixed that part with the queen scene Also, yeah, maybe will add a coin cheat

Pink Tea

I think this is more fun. Also, will there be a cheat for coins? Regarding issues, when I choose 'fucc' Queen Raewyn, I get stuck at the dungeon scene with nothing to do in the Android version.
