Have you hidden the demo link?

Yes, demo is offline now, as the game is being edited. Sorry about that…

I didnt say this in my first response but
This is probably the single best HERO/VILLAIN work on Hosted or Choice.
Simply for the Power selection.
I do like the others don’t get me wrong but me choosing my own power instead of just being a fast strong person really does make this the most replayable

:slight_smile: Thanks, that is sort of the effect I wanted to create (ā€œbuild your own heroā€), though obviously the problem is that sometimes the MC can feel a bit generic, and I am not sure whether there are enough chances to use all the powers already there… how did you feel about that?

I have been getting some private messages about the next game I will be making. Actually, I am on ā€œsemi-holidaysā€ at the moment, and have been making good progress on my current WIP. It doesn’t have a title yet, and I don’t want to start a thread for it. What little I am prepared to disclose at this point is being posted (and can be discussed) on my facebook page:

(I am just about to make a post with the map of the world, etc)

How many times do you have to rewind time to make a time paradox

" Birth of a Superhero by @adrao: Releasing Sep 19th? "
Title hasn’t been changed yet but that doesnt matter now that i know this is coming out next month.
I can hardly wait

Actually that’s the first I’ve heard of a release date myself. Though, it ties well with my own estimates given the progress of the editing. So, it could be right! I want to possibly write a small extra scene or two, but that should just be a day or two, while I am also finalising some other bits and pieces…

It’s not entirely up to HG when stuff releases; they send things in to Apple/Google/maybe Steam/Amazonlololnobodybuysfromhere it may get put up a day or two later by the actual marketplace. Not sure that’s why it has a question mark but it is a possible reason.

I guess between now and then a lot of paperwork still needs to be done (I have to send them various documents and contracts). So, often it is a question of whether I can get all this kind of things sorted. Then, the submission to Apple sometimes causes trouble, apparently. So, dates are always tentative at best. But, I’m very happy to have a tentative release date, even if things slip a bit!

lol that’s so true it hurts. It’s like this month there’s been a few hundred copies sold for a game on IOS and again on Google play. But look! AAA sold a whole 10 games! I’m so proud, better be careful not to spend all of that $5 at once :laughing: It makes me very happy we don’t have to rely only on AAA for game distribution.

Yay! That’s not far off at all :smiley:

For those on the private threads: I have just uploaded the final version of the game! I’ll be playtesting it myself over the weekend, and submitting to CoG on Monday or Tuesday (as they have to do final work on the files etc). At that point I’ll take it down from dashingdon.

But, I’d be happy if anybody who has playtested it already is happy to go through it one more time (looking for any major bugs in it). At this point I won’t be adding any major changes, though I could still do small tweaks if requested.

Once again, thanks so much for everybody who has given suggestions, playtested, etc. It’s so nice to see that this is getting close to being published!

Does anybody have any suggestions for interesting moments that I could have to put as screenshots for the game?

Is there a way I can see the final version?

Some screens about power options and some in-games images??

Unless you’re selected for beta-testing I don’t think there is.

Beta-testing is usually reserved to those who prove themselves trustworthy since some people like to use it as an excuse to play the full game for free before its release, so they don’t have to pay for it later. Some don’t even have the common courtesy of providing proper feedback like they were supposed to. However, selection sometimes varies from author to author.

Well, there is a way just go to dashingdon and scrolls down until you find game named birth of a villain and its this game

@Epic- The final and complete version of the game has been in in private beta testing for some time, but there is a demo version still available publically I believe.
