 SUMMARY Aegis ("ee-jis") Defenders is a 16-bit tactical action/adventure Metroidvania set in a Miyazaki-inspired world where ancient technology is wielded like magic. STORY AND WORLD Aegis Defenders takes place in a medieval realm where humanity’s memory has been wiped of the original design and purpose of advanced technology. Uncovered and reactivated AI become objects of worship, and tinkering with such technology is a spiritual and magical practice, treated as arcane and forbidden, and commonly regarded as a dangerous at of hubris. Do you dare to uncover what you do not understand? Mysty Mines  Nereis Desert  Crater Forest  You play as Bart and Clu, a pair of desperate Ruinhunters, in search of the one thing that can save their village from an encroaching empire - a legendary weapon known as Aegis.

But they also tear you apart." - Murakami, Kafka on the Shore KEY FEATURES AND CORE MECHANICS Explore - Discover a beautiful and vast world full of danger and lost technologies - brought to life with handpainted pixel art.

Looks fantabulous.  The animated gif in the latest post reminds me of Flashback's cinematic.  The environment work is beautiful and the gameplay looks great! Can't wait to see more from this thread. |

UPDATE #2 We told Li-fu, our engineer, after many playtests, that the game was too hard. He said ok. Then he added an insane mode.  Granted, he also made a easy mode for noobs like me.

Your game looks beautiful. Hats off to the artist!
But most importantly, best of luck on the kickstarter.
If you would like critique on the kickstarter page before you launch it, send me an email.
I know I will be looking for help with that too, when the time comes.

Sure! We're still writing up our copy on the Kickstarter so we can definitely see if I can get a draft to you when it's ready. Your game seems like a really unique and fun multiplayer concept! Let's keep in contact through email. |

Ho damn, this looks incredible. I'll be keeping an eye on this! From the gifs i think you guys really need to work on your player movement, it looks pretty janky, and i think you really need to work out a way to build trees that is animated. Possibly out of chunks. As the jumping on tree's looks really budget currently. They should shake and drop leaves when you jump on them. If you guys want some active help in the player movement stuff, shoot me a pm and i might be able to help with some specific feedback. EDIT: Actually i'll do a proper writeup in a few hours when i get some time . |

EDIT: Actually i'll do a proper writeup in a few hours when i get some time . Yes! That is definitely a similar concern/feedback from some of our playtesters as well! Any guidance would be great! Also your idea for responsive environment would definitely enhance the experience of the game as well. |
