I agree with this feedback. It gives a great atmosphere with the sfx but would be improved with that for sure. When/if you climb back down, it would be hilarious attention to detail to see all those bolts and brackets in a giant pile at the bottom.

Well thank you! The audio balance made it challenging to hear you during stream, but hopefully I can make the next stream to help with that!

Horde of Viscount Steam Page is almost ready with just some more details to iron out. The demo needs a more realistic length, as opposed to the 25 hours right now.

While testing, I was running through Corrupt Woods Heat 2 and beat my record. I mapped the 1 key to Start Recording for a previous video and never removed it, so I had NO idea I was recording. Prior to this I ran into stage hazards. I trimmed that out.

Been doing a lot of art of story stuff for the prologue and epilogue cutscenes. Below is the prologue, then once the epilogues are all finished it'll be a real game that you can play from start to finish! (Multiple times even)

Still lots to do though!

Player Palettes.
Select a variety of colour palettes (some of which are copycats) to change the look of your character separate from the game's display palette.

I can't explain how, but we have merch.

You should fight the Viscount's Horde IN STYLE! Need to carry a bunch of subweapons around? We have the creator's favorite Duffle Bag. Or maybe some new footwear to jump around the continent of Telra?
