Some thoughts after playing the demo on the Deck:

HELL YES!!!! It runs perfectly, no issues at all with controls, graphics, performance, etc. Visuals are old school 8bit, which is great. I personally prefer the 16bit style, but this is also wonderful. Really any of the older pixely styles I love. Navigation, combat, puzzles, inventory management, equipment, etc... all seem on point for a rpg like this. Seems like it was very well done and the dev put lots of work into it. I only have two questions/issues: 1) there doesn't seem to be a map of any type, no minimap, world map, etc... Maybe that's just this demo though? Maybe there really is a map? Not sure. 2) There doesn't seem to be any kind of stats or info during battle. Enemies and party members have strengths and weaknesses like all rpgs of this type, but I had to try and just memorize them, since I couldn't find any buttons to bring up a stats or info screen. This led to frustrating battles where I forgot what one random enemy stats were and attacked it with a type of attack it was immune to. Seems to be WAY too much info to just memorize. But again, maybe there is, and I just don't know how to find it, or something?

Overall though those don't detract from what feels like a great game!

I'm all in on this game, thank you so much Liam for bringing it to my attention!! Very much looking forward to release this summer.

Wait, you're telling me twitch (and other services????) don't do cloud based transcoding? They want you as the source to send all the different flavors? What on earth?

Whoa this looks pretty cool! Awesome to see something come out of kickstarter after so long. I'm always on the lookout for good turn based old school rpgs for the Deck. Chained Echoes I played last year and loved it.

I'm super excited to get the battery limit feature in the normal non-beta release! That'll help tons.

ahhhhhh yes the ol "everybody hates us, quick, change the name! Nobody will figure that out!"

but yes I agree, I hope the employees can have some semblance of stability. Must be just nerve wracking working for an embracer controlled entity.

^ how'd you do that? I'd love to do the same.

I normally see the word "deckbuilder" and my eyes glaze over and I just skip over to whatever the next article is. But this game for whatever reason has me interested. Going to try out the demo now!

^ huh?

I have 2fa on my steam account and I've never used sms. I use the app which does a popup. Seems fine to me.

Anything that doesn't use email/txt is great.

I don't blame her one bit. I personally loathe intuit and would never use qbo unless I was forced to. Local software is great, BUT in this case they don't make/sell/support qbd anymore right? I think so? If that's correct, then she'll eventually need to move off of it someday no matter what, so may as well just bite the bullet and go ahead and do it now?

seems to get lots of high praise...? Or maybe just do qbd in a windows10 vm? You could make her a shortcut that opens the vm and autolaunches qbd so that it would "feel" like a regular desktop app maybe.
