Hyper Light Drifter is an upcoming 2D Action RPG for PC, Linux, Mac, PS4, Vita and Wii U.



I backed the game on Kickstarter and they sent out a demo for the game for backers last week, and it's really, really good. There are a lot of secrets in the demo and I haven't found them all yet, but I am so excited for the full game.

The music is pretty great, as is the sound design overall, all the sound effects are real satisfying

OP you're better off peddling crack cocaine to kindergarteners, at least they'll get what they paid for and will actually have some fun.

I am not telling you to buy the video game, I wanted to discuss it because I haven't found all the secrets yet and I was hoping someone could help me out.

I've been following this one, looks really promising. A bit like Transistor, but with callbacks to SNES RPGs.





I've only ever backed two games on Kickstarter: Shovel Knight and Barkley 2, so I'm going to quit while I'm at least at 50%.

I get paid to stab people with sharp objects.

Dat rocket slice gif tho

Looks gorgeous, we'll see if they follow through with interesting controls and combat mechanics and most importantly if they price it reasonably. I'd be pretty interested at 5 or 10 bux.

It's a good sign that they released a demo instead of going Early Access on Steam. If it appears there you know the development died off.

I feel like when games release too early to the public the team gets too bogged down in minor bug fixes and appeasing the steam community who goes into a rabid froth if their Early Access game has placeholders or bugs. And design by committee makes a bad game. The only time I see any benefit for a large open beta is stress testing MMO servers. /rant

in the 52 (it might be 53 now I forget) weeks that Nuclear Throne has been available on steam early Access 47 "weekly" updates have been released. all the off weeks were when the team was at shows promoting the game can we please stop this Early Access shaming.

would you really rather every indie game with no budget for play testers ended up releasing untested and with no external feedback?
