....es geht wohl um Geld, also Absatzmarkt und der ist halt in Flat "deutlich" größer. Persönlich hätte ich nicht mal was gegen eine 2te Finanzierungskampagne (VR).....aber irgendwann sollte man halt schon abliefern
Es lebt...irgendwie... Ein Kickstarter Update: POWER MOVES IRIS V.R.Projektgründer 23. Juni 2025 PARTNERSHIP WITH TITAN1STUDIOS Last time we spoke we we're looking for partnership and funding opportunities to get LOW-FI out the door and into your soul. Those prayers were almost immediately answered in connecting with TITAN1STUDIOS, a fellow Canada based, cross media developer and publisher. Check them(us?) out here: TITAN1STUDIOS LOW-FI PUBLIC DEMO We're working closely with the amazing team at TITAN1STUDIOS to bring a Public Demo of LOW-FI to Steam, this Summer (likely early to mid August). The demo will be vertical slice of gameplay centering around the club district and the Precinct 303 where you'll be able to choose and recruit a number of companions, tour the local establishments, meet the locals, and likely encounter deep conspiracies, corruption and a few fun surprises. The game is of course still VR FIRST with all of the considerations that entails, but we are shifting focus slightly for this demo to ensure the game is up to the standards of the Desktop PC and Console markets. This focus shift is imperative to ensure the success of the game in the current -let's say downturn?- in the high-end VR space. The hope is that the demo will bring some attention from the wider gaming community and allow us to get the funding we need to crush all the things. BEFOR READING ON, I want to ensure you, dear reader and/or backer, that LOW-FI is my top priority and that everything listed below is in service of making LOW-FI is the best that it can be, and that your love and support is deeply appreciated, and will be rewarded. Thank you again for you patience and understanding <3 OTHER COOL PROJECTS While we're working diligently to bring LOW-FI together, I've been brought on to some other exciting projects with TITAN1STUDIOS as their Director of Awesome (yes that's the actual title they've given me). These projects aren't only helping to keep the lights on and the ramen flowing, they're also dope af, and I'm proud to put my name on them. First , announced last week a XP SUMMIT 2025, is CAT ASSASSIN. A cat-like parkour, stealth-action game staring Dave Bautista, from the writer of STRAY and TWELVE MINUTES. If you have a keen eye, you might recognize the art style in the image above from yours truly. Watch out for the Steam page and gameplay trailer soon. I have my hands all over this one and I can't wait to share more about it! In October 2024, I was playing a lot of Diablo 2 (as one does while thinking about the current state of the games industry and where the franchises and companies we love started to go wrong) and I kept hearing the same thing from other fans of the game. "I really loved the horror vibe of the first 2 diablo games." The Horror... it echoed in my mind. Why is it that we stick to these same old fantasy and sci-fi tropes in the genres we love? Why isn't there a horror ARPG? So. I made one, in like three weeks, complete with a full game design document and a Steam page (with much help from the folks at TITANT1 of course). Check out the Steam page and trailer at: THE HORROR "Become the ultimate manifestation of horror! This dark, action RPG fuses the strategic depth of classic ARPGs with the dread-filled atmosphere of 80s horror. Play as an iconic horror archetype as you carve through twisted landscapes, battling both the living and the dead in a world consumed by evil." As mentioned, this is a rapid prototype, but we'll be revisiting it in the months to come. I'll be sure to keep you up to date, as this one is close to my heart. Give it a Wishlist to show support if you can. LOVE IS A ROUGUELITE (or LIAR for short) is a tactical, turn-based deck builder, set within a procedurally generated love story. Yes you read that right. It's very cool, and we'll be showing more of it soon as well (I'm just making it pretty). And lastly but far from leastly is KID ROBOT. A project I collaborated on with my good friends at iNVALID SYMBOL. Check out their Linktreeand join their Discord to stay up to date. EXTRA LOVE AND SUPPORT Speaking of good friends, I also want to shout out my friend Lana Lux, who streams game dev on her Twitch Channel. She's currently working on STRAIN which she also successfully Kickstarted here.And my other good friend Lovina's new short film called A r e c i b o (which I recently visited the set of). Lovina is already in LOW-FI as the spokeswoman for Panda Noodle and so is Red String of Fate, which plays in the Zerka theater in the club district. Hopefully we can get A r e c i b o in there as well. Oh! And my friend Luis! He probably doesn't want your follow on socials, but buy his game Jazzpunk, if you haven't already! Follow and support the badass people who support me If you want to support me a little extra (which I would deeply appreciate), you can donate to my severely under-updated and underfunded PATREON (motivate me to update it) Or you can follow me on all socials @anticlericto keep up with the latest in my life. Thanks for your continued support, patience and just for being awesome. To the future!!! If you made it this far, I want to hug you. Seriously, get in here. Blair "Anticleric" Renaud
