Update on the contest - Buccura Seifert’s submission won and is now officially in-game
I kind of liked the idea and thinking of making it an ongoing thing - maybe like a weekly rotation of the most popular user-submitted article?

I tweaked the page with better instructions and showing zoomed-in article on start :)
Wut? I haven't deleted any comments o_0 Maybe it's IndieDB moderators?
Hey, just wanted to say I love the artstyle and theme :) I'm working on side-project and it was exactly the artstyle I wanted but due to my lacking artistic abilities and not wanting to hire an artist at this time, settled for full 3D instead (ironic that was actually easier to do these days).
Anyway, just added to my watchlist, hopefully all goes well :)
I know this is super old and you probably wont even see it, but I'm playing Xanadu right now (love all the SS2 nods!). I'm close to releasing my own story-driven game (Karaski: What Goes Up...) taking place on a Slavic-themed 1920s airship heading to its doom. So lots of "background incidental text" as well.
The idea about "Real" and "surface" reading is intriguing! In our game, one of the goals is finding a culprit of the sabotage. What tools you choose, how you explore and how you talk to people determines what clues you find and, thus who the culprit turns out to be (it is deliberately open-ended). I think it's a very similar idea to what you're going for, albeit it's proven hard to balance so that the player feels confident and not confused in their choice.
Czesc Krzysztof!
Tutaj Jakub, glowny deweloper "Karaski: what goes up..." - zobaczylem wasze gra na liscie Pixel Heaven finalistow! Gratulacje :) Ogladam LetsPlaya i to super wyglada, przypomina mi sie duzo Advance Wars ale izometryczne.
Zakladam ze bedziecie na festiwalu? Ja tez nasza gre prezentuje wiec milo bedzie Was poznac!
Just curious, is the game actually in 3D and using cartoony textures or oriented sprites, or is it all Unity 2D?
aww man it reminds me of those "big nose" caveman platformers all the way from Dos days :)
Oooh I like the visual style, even tho I normally scoff at "yet another animu jrpg." Not many that actually pull it off in 3D!
There might be some glimpses of the final later down the line, working on some new marketing materials. Just uploaded buncha new screens and another WIP-y "progress" shot :D
Thanks for all the positive comments guys :)
Oh really? Awesome, I chose well. happy with his new stuff - well, just see the next devblog and judge for yourself :D
Ooh thanks, very nicely an professionally done. Good narrator voice too.
And yup, the game got Greenlit! Just working out the final deals and hopefully we should be up there soon :D
As I replied to HooterBabby, we're still contemplating next project, might take a bit of a break from the Postmortem universe for a change. But it's definitely a ripe material for more scenarios, and something we considered from the get go, so might get back to it in the future :)
Glad you enjoyed it tho!
Sorry for getting back to this so late! Still contemplating next project, might take a bit of a break from the Postmortem universe for a change. But it's definitely a ripe material for more scenarios, and something we considered from the get go, so might get back to it in the future :)
Yup, thanks for explaining Silverhawk :)
Hey thanks for the heads up we just fixed it! The proper trailer is up :)
Aye, and I always cite The Walking Dead as a wonderful example of how you can make a "cartoony" game that still tackles serious motifs and creates a serious atmosphere. Many other indies too, like Home or Lone Survivor.
Awesome, would definitely love to hear your feedback! Sign up here - Postmortemgame.com
