Looks kinda janky. Laughed at small headed orc guy but I loved the Puppet boss fight idea. Keeping an eye out on this

I don't know why, but this game's artstyle feels like a mix of Firewatch and The Witness.

Found an old trailer and while some aspects are rougher it shows some more cool stuff like different weapons wielded, sliding behind an enemy between his legs, a bow, different areas, stuff.

It looks really interesting, I'll remember to keep an eye on it. The potential is definitely there.

Glad to see games from Portugal get some notoriety, the industry is growing fast there!

That older trailer a couple posts above also has a different version of the main character model with a ponytail and everything. Looks cooler in the new one, a more accomplished design. Well, everything seems improved since!

I like the visuals but the combat looks off for some reason. I'd need to get my hands on it

We have been making games here for a loooong time ;)
Great to say Decay of Logos finally getting a publisher and getting ready to launch.

The spells and secondary weapons like that pistol as well as the running jump stab animation do make it look a bit like The Witcher 3 too, heh (but better in combat, lol).

Just saw a clip of this on Nintendo Voice Chat, was gonna make a thread, but I figured I'd use the search feature first.

This looks awesome.

The Rising Star Games booth @ PAX 2k18 had sweet poster art for this game (RICO and Trailblazers also shown), click to expand:

Image from their dev blog, they have a couple more photos. Anyone who went there and got to play this game at all maybe share impressions?

Will probably buy to support game devs from my country! :) But it really annoys me that this is the first time I have heard of this game

This looks pretty good. Problem is that the genre is a bit saturated, with Zelda BOTW, the Souls games, and Ashen. I don't know if I will have the time to try this one out.

Was digging through their dev blog (tons of cool stuff there) and found this awesome gif. Now it's probably done so they don't have to model all the NPCs and what not (or not, not sure if the NPC will talk to you through the closed window or come out or whatever), but it's so damn cool and well done (also really old so it has old placeholder assets etc.)!
We also prepared a "fake interior" for the house we've shown in a previous update. In the "central village hub" there will be more similar houses and as the player progresses in the game, people who used to live there will return to their abandoned homes. By then, the player will be able to knock on the doors and talk with the people inside, adding another layer to the story lore.

So, less than a handful of games, not everyone has all the platforms needed for those, and some of them pretty old by now. I think that's quite far from saturated (and also Zelda is nothing like Souls is nothing like... etc.). This might also be like a 12-24 hour game or something, who knows (I don't think they've said anything but I certainly don't expect an 100 hour game out of a new small studio).

Well excuse me sir, but they fall in the same category of games for me, and I am not going to play the same kind of game all year long. Because that's how I like playing. Hope this is ok with you.

I don't have enough time for/interest in this game is different than saying they're putting out a game in a saturated genre though, you realize that, right? One is a personal statement, the other is commenting on the actual state of the market at large so it needs to be more objective to be true. If I wake up tomorrow and want to for the first time play through some great real time strategy games while a new developer is putting out their own soon I won't say it's in a saturated genre because of Command & Conquer, Dune, Warcraft 3, StarCraft and so on, I'll just say that maybe I'll try it after I go through the old classics or whatever. Anyway, the game will still be there next year too.

Feel free to message me with more if you want, I don't want to derail this further :o)

By definition when I write stuff on a forum I express my point of view, not some kind of absolute truth lol.
