Well, now that we're relatively sure there's nothing game-breaking (except maybe for a certain item some people get stuck on), and the only somewhat major gripe that only a few people brought up is that we need to iron out some awkwardness in the writing, let me share the demo. Feel free to rip it apart - we don't make any excuses and take feedback VERY seriously!

So... any thoughts so far?

One thing that bothers me are the character's perfect clothes. If you live in any kind of post apocalyptic environment/setting for even a short amount of time your clothes are going to get covered in spots of dirt and grime, rips, tears and generally looking worn out because they're the almost the only clothes you'll ever wear till you're dead. I know having iconic outfits for each character is kind of thing for anime, but it just doesn't fit into the setting you're using. The characters and the world they're living in look totally separate at the moment.

I suggest you look at other post apocalyptic games and see how their outfits look and feel.

You've got some fucking nice art by the way.

We actually debated over that. Everyone's aware what characters in post-apocalyptic literature usually look like, but thinking about it, if it's been decades since civilization started getting back on its feet, people should be able to find ways to wash their clothes. We still need to find a delicate balance for this. For example, Eiji's clothes are clean because he's got a place to go home to. Most non-essential characters wear clothes with apparent wear and tear.

Thanks for playing demo!

Now we have a new version with improved writing and some optimizations.

I know it's an overly late update, but we just launched on Kickstarter and we'll take all the help we can get!  

So please check us out at Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight.

Thank you!

Got some really exciting updates. We got greenlit in just 7 days, and Zero Escape creator Kotaro Uchikoshi gave us a shout-out! We talk about it in this update.

Love the art.  I'll be keeping an eye on this.  Congrats on getting Greenlit.

Congrats for greenlit and good luck with que kickstarter campaign this game looks very very interesting

[ktalkimist]

Almost 50% there... I hope we don't slow down too much in "the trough".

Since a lot of people seem interested in Steam Greenlight stats, here's how it looks like for Exogenesis. We launched on Greenlight April 23 and got greenlit with the April 29 batch. I hope this helps!



Exogenesis on Kickstarter

After an insanely long and troubled development, this game is finally on Early Access! We need a couple more months of development to completion, so the game is 90% complete, but we need Early Access to hopefully bring us to the finish line.

Check us out on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1041270/Exogenesis_Perils_of_Rebirth//.
Or itch.io for the DRM-free version. https://exogenesisvn.itch.io/exogenesis-perils-of-rebirth

This brings back so many memories. Btw, we just updated the game and there's only a few more days left for our weeklong sale!
