Edit: Game is out now!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/368340/CrossCode/


Main website: http://www.cross-code.com/en/home
In-Browser Demo (entire game is HTML5 apparently): http://www.cross-code.com/en/start
Indiegogo campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/crosscode#home

I found this game on newgrounds and it actually looks really good.  Its got a Secret of Mana vibe to it and a very good demo.




IndieGames.com Article: http://indiegames.com/2015/03/leas_fists_are_better_than_any.html

The story is basically: Girl is controlling an avatar in an MMO that exists in reality (control a robot instead of be in a digital game).  She is in the game for the second time because she lost her memory or something and people think this will help her retrieve it, and she also has voice module issues so she is mute (except for words that get hacked in for her or something like that) so almost sorta silent protagonist.

Its actually kinda a shame its not on kickstarter because, imo, that seems to attract more attention than Indiegogo.  The IndieGoGo campaign itself closes March 27 and its got €50,000 to go at this point, I do hope they make it.

Haha, great to see a thread about it here as well. I'm part of the development team (known an GFluegel on there).

Kickstarter might indeed be a more popular option, but we opted for Indiegogo because it's the easier solution for German companies at the moment. And it also supports PayPal, which is an advantage (again, especially for our German supporters).

I'll be keeping track of this topic and answering questions if you go any. But for now I gotta try to get some sleep...

Plot hole right there. Her voice module has issues. That sounds like something that would be qualified as fixable and would be something that Should be fixed by the ingame creators of the mmo world thing in the game.

[Hanzoku]

That could be handled in the storyline. After all, it's very possible that there's no hardware fault, and then the question moves towards a mental version of going mute.

[Felcis]

Before I reply, first a quick proof of my identity, since it's the internet.

@Kevak: You're assuming that she really is just a normal player and that the official tech support has looked into her problem. Lea's problem seems to be a very unusual issue of a system that normally runs without a problem.

Clearly she's playing a Nexon game

My theories are:
Lea is an NPC
Everyone else is an NPC, except for Lea
It's all a simulation
Lea is in a coma
Lea died while playing the game and is a zombie
Lea has brain damage
Lea is a cyborg
Lea is actually controlled by the blue hair, which is an alien, from space
The horns are recievers tuned to different universe
Lea isn't human
Lea is actually a monkey
All the containers in the ship are filled with giraffes
The last theory I said might not have anything to do with anything
But I still feel it's important
Lea is a robot, made of metal, that can turn invisible

Nice! I played through the demo and really enjoyed it. Crisp mechanics, and I'm excited for the RPG elements to show up in full force.

[Folly]

Looks pretty awesome. But those E's instead of $'s on the donation page are scaring me...

[Farce]

Shit.  I don't have any money to throw at this.

The demo plays really good, and the art's baller.

[Cowboy Colt]

Having spent some time with the demo, I can totally attest to how slick it is.

You think it's going to be Secret of Mana-esque, and then it plays like a top-down Platinum game. The combat is like butter...

Don't be scared, PayPal will convert your $ automatically into € and show you the exchange rate!
You are also in luck, because the € is currently pretty low, compared to a while ago.

Also, because a lot of people tend to be confused about it:
We are using "Fixed Funding", not "Flexible Funding", so we only get the money when we reach our goal. You'll get all your money back if we don't!

And a special announcement: Right now our concept artist Frece is doing a livestream on his channel. Stop by if you wanna see him doing his art magic!

[Felcis]

Alas, thats a big problem for a lot of Americans, in more ways than one (a lot of times, bank cards will auto block payments with currency conversions and its just one more hassle to go thru).  Combine that with general laziness/apathy and sales get lost (and of course I already said that kickstarter is a lot more popular too).

Someone should do a study on this with these funding campaigns and see just how much it changes things.

Really? That's unfortunate and we didn't even know about such a problem. Both Indiegogo and € was used to make bureaucratic stuff easier for us, but we didn't think that it might cause real problems for US-supporters. I hope it's still not too big a deal for most people.

About the study... at this point I think it's obvious that it is much easier to get a successful campaign running on Kickstarter, both because of the reputation and some convenience issues Indiegogo has. The only big disadvantage of Kickstarter is it's lack of PayPal-Support.
