Ever since I played this demo, I can't get it out of my head, and I can't wait to play the final version of it.
I know that creating games are a bitch, because there are a lot of details that need to be taken care of, but you guys are doing more than splendid: the history is amazing and keeps us entertained; the characters are beyond cool and are so very charismatic; the playing style (having to type and stuff) is original to me, and it really makes it different.
I saw a reply saying that maybe some stuff would have to change for the game to be released, and you guys should change whatever it is that will make the game better, and that you'll make yous happy with the final result.
I shall wait for the day this game is released, doesn't matter if I have to wait years for it!
Wishing all the best to everyone involving in this game; may all of you be so glad damn happy!
Hi there, thank you for your kind and encouraging words. It's a bit surreal, reading this, five (or more?) years after uploading the demo.
It's no excuse, but life happened, and we all went our separate ways. It was a passion project made by people who came together in a game jam, and in the end, we all couldn't focus, and you're left with this.
But I do want to finish this project. It heartens me to see that someone actually even played it, after all this time. Things will definitely change, if I continue this, and so might the art (if I can't get the original artist on board) - but we'll stay as firmly within the color scheme and style here as possible.
Would you still be interested to play even if major tweaks like those will be made?
Again, thank you, your review really made my day. I'll be sure to relay your sentiments to the team (through messages, which I hope they will manage to read).
Sincerely,
Bacon
Heyo, Bacon! ๐
My bad for the late response, dude.
It is clear as crystal how much was involved once you play iit; there is no way someone who doesn't love would create something as awesome as this.
Bacon, you've got ๐ท๐ธ ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ช of how much desesperate I was when I couldn't remember the name of your game, and then I thought it got deleted โ and I am very much glad it didn't!!!!
I downloaded it once more as soon as I found it, and I plan on playing it again, because I really very much did like it.
Man, as long as it is Deliverance, I'm down for it!!!
I need to play it to the end, I gotta know the history of the characters, and if Leola and Rosca will end up together!
I thank โดโ ๐ ๐โฏ๐ ๐ โโด and the team for making such an incredible that haven't left my mind even being just a demo.
I eagerly await for what's to come for Deliverance!
Best regards :) โก
I remember playing this a while back and gushing over the art. How's it going?
Hey TofuTrash, thanks for playing and taking the time to drop by.
Unfortunately, I've lost contact with the artist and this game is essentially in development hell.
I still want to work on it, but there might be a lot of changes.
That's unfortunate. I hope things work out!
It sure is :')
Thanks anyway.
Is this a Visual Novel?
Yes, it is.
Okay, thanks
Hi, I recently finished the game, it was fun, the artsyle is cool, the gameplay is uniqe, the story is intense, I'm looking forward for the full version ^^
Thanks for playing! :) We're stoked to hear you enjoyed it.
Well... The game is very good.
Very great art style based black, white and gray. Plus every character has his/her own extra color. Characters with their own personalities and styles. And very "noir" style.
Plot seems to be interesting :) A bit based on choices. But I don't like spelling system/mini-game in current form. Sometimes it's not enough time to finish it. You could double amount of time for every sentence .
I can't wait to see the rest of story. :)
Thanks for playing! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the prologue so far.
It's great to hear that you enjoyed the art style, our artists worked hard to get the aesthetic across! We're staying true to the bleak noir vibe, but also adding that little pop to keep things current. We might add more GUI tweaks for the full game, let's see! :)
As for plot, this is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, heh. The actual game will have different content from the prologue so you can look forward to that. This is more of an intro to the characters, the setting and their relationships.
actually, the prologue should be getting an update in a few weeks or so, since the dude hasn 't been introduced properly yetoTLThanks for your comments on the typing minigame. We're tweaking the mechanic, and thinking of adding an option to skip it if the player is looking for a more traditional VN experience. If there's anything else you'd like to see in-game, now would be a great time to tell us since we're still in dev o>
Loved the art style, can't wait to play the full game!
WHOA Thanks for making an LP! :D
It was pretty fun to watch too ^^
half-expected you to use a terminator voice for Leola, lolWe're real happy to hear that you enjoyed the game and the art!
Watch this spot, you guys.
Delivering deliverance, come 2018 (
hopefully November lol)!So far, it looks very promising. I love the typing element its a really cool concept. The art style and the music were also pretty lovely. I'm exited for the finished project and can't wait to see how it turns out. Sorry for not being able to leave any critique. I wasn't really able to find anything but I guess that's more of a good thing.
Thanks for playing. We're glad you enjoyed the minigame!
Yep, we're working with a talented team, and we're working our hardest to make this game the best it can be :)
Still working on improvements, so feel free to give us more feedback while in development!
Interesting story and cool concept. Really liking the style. Looking forward to playing the rest of this game, glad I gave it a chance. Just so you know though seeing a guy on the cover kind of confused me a bit, haha.
Thanks for playing!
Watch this spot o> We'll bring this baby to you, come 2018
(hopefully November lol)Yeah, haha, that guy is Rosca's brother ^^
Cool concept, cool characters, well-written dialogue and a setting that promises to provide an interesting story.
My only nitpick is that the appearance of some of the characters' mouths looked a bit strange to me. Yeah, just the mouths, and yeah that's all I've got for critique - and it's just part of the art style.
Everything flowed naturally and the characters all seemed very genuine, fitting noir tropes but still feeling completely unique and three dimensional. I'm certainly itching to see more of what you guys have in store.
We're really happy to hear that you enjoyed ^^ Thanks for playing! Sure, no worries, the style's subject to taste, but we'll take those thoughts in mind o>
We hope that the full game lives up to the anticipation, ey!
Film Noir, women in pinstripes and some really cool immersive features... well I can't say no to that.
Once I got figured out the typing minigame I was really disappointed that there wasn't more. Can't wait to see where the story goes. It's set in my kind of city and there is nothing I love more than an interesting setting.
Really immersive and great use of multimedia. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this now that you've been released from the pressures of a deadline and can do all the cool things you seem to have planned for this. xxx
Damn, film noir is life. Amen, ey ^^ Thanks for giving the game a spin :D
We've recently uploaded a bug and dialogue fix! Excited to see where this story takes us, and we do hope you'll try it out once it's done o>
The demo made me want to play more :o
The writing style was a perfect match for the characters and everything flowed naturally. I also loved the dark atmosphere that was created as well as the original "eye" concept.
I think the music can be improved upon, but other than that, good job!
Awesome, we hope you give the full game a spin once it's out o> Thanks for playing!
Rating: 3.5/5 I wasn't a fan of the music/art style, there were a few typos, and the typing system could have benefited from a tutorial/clearer prompt. That having been said I liked the concept and the characters, the typing system was a cool touch I haven't seen in other visual novels, and by the end of the demo I was curious about Leola's past, her relationships with Nic and Rosca, and Rosca's brother. Overall, I enjoyed playing it and once a few things are fixed/modified I think this would make for a wonderful visual novel.
Thanks for your comments! We've put up a bug fix and added some animations. Music and art styles are subject to taste, but we're happy that you still gave it a try. We plan to tweak stuff here and there in the coming months, so stay tuned, ey ^^
