I’ve been wanting to play as a henchmen since I saw the venture brothers take on how a villains guild would workout.and why paint a beat me senseless and toss me into prison sign on your back just to claim that your a villian when you can just get a light beating as a henchmen and tossed into a easy to escape jailcell. Unless there a Brock Samson
Just on a humor note it would be funny if your mc is out right against any relationship with one of the super hero’s who won’t take no for a answer

Well, how much of a sneak peek are we talking here? Just, like, what they look like in costume, or full on characters? Like their secret identities, how they look under the mask?
depends on how much you want to reveal without spoiling too much. personally, i’d go with at least some basic info and/or personality blurbs about them. if it isn’t spoiling too much, maybe character motivations?
either way, it depends on you! just give us a lil something to keep us hooked 
Well, I’ll try.
Your boss is Black Queen/King. Named such for the armored black bodysuit they wear (armor plates on shins, thighs, forearms, upper arms, chest, mask completely covers face except for white eyes, shoes differ depending on gender(?)), and self-choice.
Hero is Lightning. Suit is one whole piece, yellow with red cape, arms and legs are red up to just before the shoulders and thighs.
Sidekick is Thunder, who’s colors are just Lightning’s reversed.
I’m going to leave off the personality stuff for now, as some of it you see in the demo, some might be spoiler-ish, not too sure.

Will we start out as head henchperson or will we rise through the ranks through the prologue or something like that?

Sounds good to me. But why dont we be able to kill the boss and take over their gang?
Random Question: If we romance the hero/sidekick, would we get the option to corrupt them (AKA turn them evil)?

Not sure. Everything’s still sorta in concept mode. I only have the ‘prologue’, an event in the middle, and a bit of late game planned out atm.

I’m looking forward to seeing if the sidekick/hero can reverse-corrupt us.

That would be awesome.
I love stories about “side” characters getting the limelight. A redemption/corruption line of story is also potentially very interesting. The boss romance however… sounds like it’s gonna turn up in a prohibition-era Mafia moll style story. Not my cup of tea, but obviously to each their own.

Roleplaying as a John Wick-esque henchman would be cool as heck.
Are there any more villains than just the Black King/Queen? Maybe have a mad scientist type a mastermind and a crazed lunatic. A completely different play styles for the henchmen. Maybe near the end of the story they come together against the league of superheroes like they always do. Also the henchmen maybe they have a power stat.

Hello, everyone. Was gone for a while, but good news! I’m fairly close to finishing up the demo. It’s not much other than a prologue, but at least I have time to work on it now.

Yay! I’m excited. X3
I would love to play this game, but I was wondering if you got to choose which villain you were a henchmen too. Another thing was what type of combat style would you get under the villain guns, blades, baseball bats, or hand-to-hand. If it is the last one then do you have some unique style that is synonymous with the villain?

It seems like who the villain, hero, and hero’s sidekick are is pre-set.
Yes, the villain, hero, and sidekick are all pre-set. Also, I have to apologize. Apparently the universe heard me say I was almost done with the demo and went ‘Ahaha no’.

Ooh, sounds interresting! I’ve always wanted to be like a slightly less ditzy Kronk to a more competent Yzma! Wrong levers and all that. But that would end with me getting fired, huh…
