Indie Heroes of a Broken Land

[WingedPixel]

The next IndieFort is now available, if you're looking to pick up Heroes of a Broken Land on the cheap. http://www.gamersgate.com/indiefort-bundle?new

It's pay what you want, I suggest $1000. Maybe $2000. Actually just max out your credit card.

$50,000 sounds a bit steep to me! But... hmmm...

How much would you get from a donation like that?

 

[Metro]

I paid 1,000... Blue Coins.

With current multiplier - 4,5 potato.

Haba it's totally worth it.

How much would you get from a donation like that?

The money's split evenly between the developers (5 ways), after GG takes their cut (not sure if their rates are public, but they're fairly standard).

So maybe you should just buy 100 copies directly from me.

well it seems the full game is being released tomorrow! I had good fun with the demo, looking forward to enjoying the full game.

Review lack screenshots, links, etc... and OP is a faggot!

there is a free demo you can try. Great turn based blobber that brings back memories of might and magic/wizardry.

Ooh, I've almost forgotten about this game. Just a pity the full release lands in the week I have to write a massive university math exam.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Damn, too many RPGs are getting released these coming months.

 

[Zewp]

I play this one on my netbook. It's the perfect game for playing on your lunchbreak or between classes.

Finally version 1.0 was released today, almost exactly a year to the day I started working on it!
I got a lot of support and feedback from the Codex (which might suprise some of you), so thanks!

You can check out the game here: http://wingedpixel.com/heroes-of-a-broken-land/
With links to videos, screen shots, demos, etc.

Here's some screen shots for you lazy types:

congrats on the release, I hope it does well. Are there any changes from the last beta (7.9?) and this version? Looking forward to playing this when I get off work tonight

 

[TigerKnee]

I think I bought the Beta version from a Gamersgate indie sale?

Does that give me access to the retail version as well?

 

[WingedPixel]

If you bought the Beta anywhere you should have access to the full version now. Hopefully it will just auto-update, if not you should be able to download verison 1.0 from Gamersgate.

This game is awesome. It's HoMM meets M&M and it's just as nice as that sounds.
I'll buy it as soon as I have some proper time to dedicate to it.
Well done!

I have had tremendous fun playing and testing HOTB in the past year. I and many other people who sent play test reports hope you all enjoy the fruit of our labors and debates with Andrew over e-mail.

 

[Alchemist]

Congrats on the release WingedPixel ! I have this from Gamersgate - looking forward to giving it some proper play time.

2014 is sure off to a great start for cRPGs!

Congrats on the release and right on time too

Also, I hope you didn't put in the Queen Slimes

I'm saving Queen Slimes for a future update

Question:

I seem to recall there was supposed to be some town building. Is that restricted to the town your Wizard is in or can you build other towns?

 

[WingedPixel]

You can build in other towns once you ally with them (do a few quests to gain their trust)

 

[TigerKnee]

Questions:
1) Is there any "auto-travel to explore point on map" feature? Grimoire has spoiled me. Plus hunting that 1 rat wandering around the dungeon which you need to complete for the quest when you already explored the dungeon is annoying.

2) Is there a way to combine two traveling parties together, or do I have to walk back in town just to combine my party of 5 and 1 that I got by accident.

 

[WingedPixel]

1) Not sure how well auto explore would work with secret doors, treasure, etc? I agree that finding that last monster can be a pain.

2) No, you have to take them back to town. I just didn't get around to creating the UI to swap party members in the field.
