Lucretia - Demon Princess (鬼姫の呪い in Japan) NOW IN BETA TESTING

[synbiosfan]

I just (pre) ordered this!

Very interesting!

[OldRover]

Decided to make some minor gameplay changes based on how the game has been played so far. The main change was the removal of the multiple control schemes. The Sidearms-style control scheme is the most-used and the one that makes the most sense, so that is the one that the game will utilize from now on.

[Mathius]

Just watched a bit of the new video. Loving it all! My only recommendation would be some nice explosions for the downed enemies, instead of them plopping off the screen.

[OldRover]

I always felt that explosions might be out-of-character for a magic-based game like this, so I did not implement them into the design and it would require one hell of a redesign at this point. They are already used in specific instances but I've never made any videos with them in it.

Maybe you could use a little graphical "flourish" for lack of a better term? Don't get me wrong. I am still loving what I am seeing.

I like the way defeated enemies gracefully sink to their doom 

[Nando]

All the sprites would benefit from a "kill" frame, where they are burned up liked the witches sprites or something to that effect.

I could do it for later levels, but then that disrupts the overall look of the game. At least for now, y'all got burning witches! YEEE HA!

The work load is still huge, and I will not have time to add some of these, so maybe for the sequel ;)

[Keith Courage]

This game looks great and I'm definitely going to get it!

I'm sure everyone has a different opinion on this but the sound effect for when enemies die is kind of annoying.
Other then that small nuisance for me it looks and sounds fantastic. Great work!

[Psycho Punch]

Yeah I agree with the sound. This game is awesome, I particularly like Level 2 and it's Night Creatures kind of parallax with the trees and bricks in the background... very neat.

[OldRover]

That sound has been criticized before so I went into the code and made some changes. It was originally using a square wave, which sounds rather harsh. I kept the note sequence but changed the waveform to a triangle. The sound is much softer now. As a side-effect, the "hit enemy" sound is now very loud in comparison. I will probably replace that with a better sound though, as it sounds kind of stupid as-is.

[Bardoly]

Just preordered this!

[Bernie]

I gotta get off my lazy ass and burn the newest beta version to play....

[hoobs88]

Just preordered this!

So did I...but it took me a little bit of searching since there was no info about preordering on the Frozen Utopia website and I wasn't aware that it was actually being released by Eponasoft.

[Nando]

Updated Demon hands say, THANK YOU GUYS!

[Mishran]

Finally took the time to preorder mine. Much like everyone else, I'm looking forward to playing this. Great job as usual guys.

[OldRover]

Equuskia has stated that we will be doing a special DVD as a preorder bonus. It is a featurette called "The Ladies Of LDP" and is about the real-life women who make up the main characters of the game.

ya know what? I'm pre ordering a 2nd copy to flip on e.... eeee... ze art contest. I'll bribe you fuckers into participating if it kills me!

Ahhhhh!!!1! What are you??? lol

Go Nulltard!

[OldRover]

A couple of new features were added to the game. I don't wanna get into too many details right now but the biggest new addition is shot variations. You now have five shot sets to use, each with 3 power levels, giving you a total of 15 different attack variations as opposed to the original 3. To change your shot pattern, you pick up a candy that has the shot pattern you want. The candies change form every second, so you wait for it to change to the pattern you want before picking it up. This addition makes the game much more dynamic and fun to play.

I've always liked this sort of feature.  I dont particularly care for having to dodge power-ups I dont want in addition to enemies.  At least with this I have a chance to get something useful... if i am good enough

In the middle of beta testing?

[OldRover]

In the middle of beta testing?

...yes... problem?

[NecroPhile]

Changes made in response to play testing comments?  HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

[OldRover]

It's a world gone mad.

[Nando]

listening to feedback! PREPOSTEROUS!

[NecroPhile]

Can I bitch that my complaints haven't been addressed?

NOT ENOUGH TITTIES!!!

Get to work on that, Nando.  KTB.

[OldRover]

Nando's working on that, be patient! He only has two hands, and one is usually busy.

[Nando]

PIXEL BWEEBS!

[esteban]

I want power-up system to be changed so that player must keep (shooting) bouncing bells until they turn the color of power-up desired.

No I don't.

[OldRover]

Power ups are for pansies. Copy Derp Bleu play mechanics

We want people to be able to actually enjoy the game, not be left wondering why the designers couldn't be arsed to spend a few more minutes making it not suck.

[Bernie]

Can we have one of the power ups, be something like...  Witch lifts shirt, and squeezes titty to squirt acid milk from her nipples?  THAT would be awesome.

[Psycho Punch]

With those suggestions soon only the Games Express Card will be able to hold the obey power contained in the Lucretia cdrom...

[OldRover]

One of the main characters is only 8 years old, so no... you cannot!

[Opethian]

boner denied

[jeffhlewis]

Have it be an unlockable content if you enter X A K for the high score initials.

Garage kickbag minigame?

[Bardoly]

Any updates?   

[Nando]

Yes, been working on the concept art for the later lvls and finishing the jungle sprites.

[esteban]

Jungle sprites. Show us one!
