  Wow, those backgrounds are amazing! In general, everything looks amazing. I don't think you'll have any problems reaching your funding once you launch your kickstarter. Keep up the good work, I'll definitely be following you guys.

Keep up the good work, I'll definitely be following you guys. Thanks! Not gonna lie, we are so worried about our kickstarter...  but I think that if following your dreams scares the hell out of you, you owe it to yourself to try! I mean, I'm new to this forum but I'm loving it! It's super inspiring seeing creative people making things they love and believe in! Oh wow, He draws like Kim Jung Gi! :O Awesome!
Bryce says you are right on! BTW that is a compliment of compliments. Kim Jung Gi is godlike.  That was totally Bryce's inspiration-- he has two of his artbooks and was watching Kim Jung Gi's videos for DAYS. DAYS. Looks so beautiful  Thank you! We hope it's fun to play too.  The world needs more Miyazaki games! I love the Nausicaa vibes, looks great!
Right on! We were inspired by the fantasy/medieval-like world. The huge insect creatures are a definite intentional tribute to the movie we love, but if you can believe it, the bad-ass girl in a blue cape was entirely coincidental and when we finished the sprite we were like damn. Nausicaa lives in our subconscious  ... Looks very cool! First gif also reminds of "Children Who Chase Lost Voices"
Thanks! I personally have not seen that movie but it is DEFINITELY something I should check out.  |

Damn, another amazing game. I cannot compete with this No! We will all make great games!!!!!!! Dig the art style you have here. If in need of some inspiration check out our favorite Studio Ghibli artist Kazuo Oga...
Keep up the good work.
Thanks! We love Kasuo Oga and were going back and forth on thinking about ordering that art book one time... we ended up being super cheap and passing on it  Wow This is perfect. Seriously, those cinematics in pixel art, the characters, the gameplay! Oh my god! I don't even know what to say! Oh man! Glutton Mash guy! Thanks for coming by and checking us out! I love your game!!! Wish us luck, we're launching Greenlight and Kickstarter in a week! |

UPDATE #3 Kind of? Apparently, SOMEONE from my team *cough* ALREADY MADE AN OLD DEVLOG like months before I did and DID NOT TELL ME!!! I have been dutifully updateing on a game that is already on here! So embarrassss  Lol. However, it did die a while ago, and we'll seek to merge the two. Here's some location art from that devlog. (It's in a small animated gif on our first post) Snowfly Peak

The game looks great! (Personally love the Miyazaki, Ghibli movies, especially Mononoke) The building thing is really interesting. Goodluck with the kickstarter  |

Artwork is gorgeous and the game looks incredible as well! I'm a huge fan of Ghibli myself and I can definitely see the inspirations.

Looks lovely so far! Loving the vibrant 'alive' Ghibli feel, but I'm also excited for the gameplay! I really like how you have brought two very different ways of playing together, the building and the shooting through Bart and Clu instead of having it combined in one central character. Also love Bart's beard! Very bushy! |

Also love Bart's beard! Very bushy! Just want to say (again!) how much I love the visuals! I recall the fantastic-looking animated version posted earlier, it is absolutely breathtaking. The KS campaign will be a success for sure and I'll vote for this on Greenlight!  Thanks so much for the kind words! It's great to see that we've communicated the Ghibli inspiration clearly!  And yes, Bart's my favorite character to draw because of his enviable facial hair. |

Glad to see you guys show up here. With Nausicaa being tied for my favorite Ghibli film (other being Mononoke Hime), I am really looking forward to Aegis Defenders. I'm curious if you guys have anything planned for in-between levels (such as a village hub or worldmap) or is the plan to have the player go from level to level linearly? As I've said before, good luck with the Kickstarter!

UPDATE #5 *fangirl squeal* We're featured on Indie Statik! The writer did critique our keyboard controls. They are kind of clunky! We recommend an xBox controller, but our engineer is currently working on making the keyboard controls feel better. PM me if you'd like to try out our demo and give us some feedback!  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^LOOK LOOK LOOK!!  YAAAAYY!!!

Yeah! We're HUGE Ghibli fans! (Lol I guess it's pretty obvious.) We huge map planned that the player will explore. It's one connected universe. We do have a resting area between levels but it isn't a village. As you explore the lands the player will just have to set up camp in between! As the writer I don't know if I want to reveal the significance of the campfire sequences as they are very integral to the story as well. As a hint-- Bart the engineer is not only traversing to find and reactivate Aegis, he is trying to seek forgiveness for something in his past he feels tremedous guilt from... aaaahhhhh I really want to tell you but I don't want to spoil it! I also reeaally want the artist to finish making that world-map concept art (won't be an in-game function, more so just a map) so I can share it, but he's super busy.  Maybe our kickstarter trailer might hint at it. o boy. I'm following this one. Great work.
Yay thanks!
