Oh hey just noticed this thread. If you're allowed to answer can you give us an estimate on which quarter the game will release at?

Fall 2018.

As an aside, there are two months left until the "slacker backer" period ends and you are about $170k I beleive to the last stretch goal. Is there going to be an attempt at a last push to cross the line or will it just be left to "what happens, happens"?

No plans for a big push.

If the Backer Preview coverage, streaming, etc. pushes us over the line, then that's awesome. But we're really focused on just making the game now, especially because the Backer Preview ended up taking so much longer than we anticipated.

I've been excited for this game ever since it was announced for Switch. Game is beautiful. Can't wait to play it when it comes out eventually.

Ah good to have this thread here (thanks Raging Spaniard) and good to see you here too Ravidrath. I'm looking forward to the next Backer Preview. Hopefully it clears MS certification soon. I won't be able to play it but Iook forward toe the streams and videos that will follow.

Hm, I'll have to see if I can bump my pledge up to the statue level.

I love the energy she gives off and how dynamic she looks!

That said, I'm a little concerned that this isn't the first design that looks skinnier than the original concept art? I hope this isn't, like, a trend. I appreciate and respect a lot of the design changes you've made since the initial crowdfund, but one of the things I really loved when the characters were first revealed was the variety in body types. Kampan going from an average body type to looking more distinctly petite gives us... yet another character in a video game who looks like that, which I can't deny is disappointing.

Again, there's definitely a lot to like about this design, and it's great that she keeps the spunky vibe she's always had. And I'm sure you guys are already exhausted by all the complaints over design changes, which I don't want to add to. Positive representation of plus size and non-skinny characters, especially women, just seems to be a very rare thing in video games, and I was excited when I saw designs that challenged that.

Hearing that the Backer Preview is so close is dope news! Can't wait to see it on my PS4.

Looking at the old art, really the main change was growing her into her arm. The body / arm size differential was much greater before.

Nothing about that said "average" to me - she always struck me as being tiny, and I think she is more "average" now than before?

(Had the art in here originally, but without a way to shrink it I thought it was kind of obnoxious.)

Also, if you hadn't seen Sangmu's updated design from the stream, she got significantly chubbier.

I'm digging how a lot of these characters have been receiving visual updates. It makes me wonder how or if Tatanka got changed. He's the kabuki indian, what more can you change?

Hmm, Kampan looks pretty similar to me. She might look a little lankier now (it's the new battle arm probably), but her general size is very similar.

"And then they came for me..."

Now this Sangmu change is very different and I had no clue about it! As my favorite of the Incarnations, I was really attached to the original. But with the various changes made to others, I knew she would as well (just not how much).

Original:

The great news is that she still looks adorable and is still my favorite from a design standpoint. (They kept the freckles!) This also seems to confirm her, which is awesome. I'm going to miss that old outfit though. I guess it had to be simplified.

I really look forward to seeing her in motion~

Yo Kampan looks rad. Usually in games where I pick a team it's always the same but everbody looks awesome.

Skullgirls is one of my favorite games and I know you all will do an amazing job. Now just don't make us wait too long. My heart can only take so much hype.

I'll miss the original Sangmu...but that design in retrospect would probably be hard as fuck to animate in 2d.

I'm glad I've mostly kept away for this long. So many of the incarnations have probably undergone enough changes that it'll feel like a completely different game than what we saw back at the start of the campaign.

Edit: Oh man, I just saw the latest Naga Rider animations. This fluidity is dope.

I always thought Sangmu looked took much like Carol from Skullgirls, so I was happy they changed her face.

She's still very cute, and I think people will agree when her post is ready.

Ultimadrago - How did you make the images shrink, etc. like that? When I pasted Kampan's image in originally to took up the entire page?

This was the first crowd funding game I've ever backed. I have so much respect for the people at Lab Zero and the work they do it truly is inspiring. The sheer amount of quality and craft in their animations and art really has made me want to become better at drawing and animating. They really were a big influence on me hopefully going to college next year for digital media so hopefully someday I can make something as great and visually stunning as they do.

Sorry I didn't have an account on the other place and I have been wanting to say that for awhile lol.

Wait, what!? I've been following Indivisible intermittently, but this is the first time I've seen this. Still, I'm assuming these will all be NPCs in the world and not actually playable party members, right?
(it's pretty crazy because every single character above is either from a game I love, or a game I'm looking forward to play).

I'm pretty sure they're party members.

Playable party members, most probably wont be part of the story though (I have no idea) It was a nice way to get the fans of those games to support the fundraising campaign.

Kampan is looking real nice and I don't think I mentioned it before but Sangmu is still one of the most charming characters.

Fall 2018.

If we reached the last stretch goal would you try to get it in at launch or would it be something you think would be added as DLC?

Glad this thread is back. I tend to miss a lot of emails so it's been my main source for updates. Excited for the preview!

Also I totally forgot Shantae is in this. I love Shantae. This is going to be the best game ever.

Oh guest characters! Does that mean i can have SK on my team or is he a NPC?

Really looking forward to this. Is it simultaneous release on all consoles or is it staggered? Id like it on switch but not if i have to wait.

It looked to me like new Kampan had a thinner waistline, but I guess the difference wasn't as dramatic as I initially thought. I also never saw new Sangmu, and her new design actually looks fantastic to me.

Thanks for the detailed response! I really appreciate and admire the way you consistently address feedback.

Final stretch goal (Multiple Endings, Bonus dungeon) was always intended to be released in a free post-release update.

All of the characters you see there will be released as playable characters, also post-release. The current thought is that they'll start coming in from a dimensional portal in Ajna's Inner Realm. There may be a very loose sort of "crossover dimension" story, which will culminate in a boss fight.

The rough plan is to release three character packs post-release, each with three characters every three months. The final pack will include the final boss battle.

And we're targeting a simultaneous release on all consoles.

Didn't know this was confirmed for Nintendo already. Played the prototype on PS4 and really liked it.

I hope it delivers and the devs have my support, albeit not my money unfortunately lol.

Yeah, we announced it for Switch around E3 this year.

Game has come a LONG way since the prototype, too. Vastly improved environment art (thanks in part to Raging Spaniard) and we've made a lot of improvements to the battle system, with more to come.

The news must've just got drowned out I guess even though I was on Neogaf every day.

Just got word that Microsoft has approved the Backer Preview build on XB1!

All that's left now is the store setup and code distribution, so next week is looking good!

I was able to catch an animation stream for new Sangmu a while ago. The art posted here kind of obscures (with the big dress) it but from the animation I was able to catch, new Sangmu is legit THICC (Hopefully that's not inappropriate to say LOL)

Great to here. Looking forward to all the new content that is about to flood the internet :)

I'm sorry, but this has probably been asked a couple of times before.
But the physical version will be available to all? No LimitedRinGames print?
Since it's very much life to get it physically, but never have a chance with LRG. :/
